On Aug. 28, Glaze confirmed that the couple had gone their separate ways during an appearance on theAlmost Famouspodcast six months after going public with their relationship.

“Susie and I, we’re not together,” the formerBachelorettecontestant, 30, began. “We are doing our best to — kind of, like I said — protect each other, keep things private as we try to navigate what this looks like for us.”

While the decision to end their relationship hasn’t “been easy,” Glaze assured listeners that the two “still have a ton of love for each other” and are on “great terms.”

“We still talk and are in communication. Like I said, [we are] still prioritizing each other, ourselves, our relationship,” he continued, adding that it’s been tough navigating a public relationship for the first time.

“I’m very fortunate to have someone like Susie in my life,” he continued. “We are always on the same page about our relationship. So when this first happened we decided like, ‘We’re not gonna make some joint post. We’re going to figure this out together, we’re going to keep it private, I’m sure people will catch on eventually, and when we’re ready to talk about it, that’s what we’ll do. I’m just very fortunate to be at the place we are at right now.”

The confirmation of the former couple’s split comes shortly after Evans told PEOPLE that things between her and Glaze were “complicated.”

On Aug. 4, Evans revealed that she and Glaze “started out as friends, so what’s most important for us was that we just respect each other, love each other through whatever our relationship became, which is something we decided even before we ever dated was friendship first.”

“We think so highly of each other, we respect each other. So that is the forefront of everything,” she shared.

Rumors of a split between the pair were sparked whenBen HigginsandAshley Iaconettispeculated about their relationship onAlmost Famouslast month.

At the time, Evans admitted that she “totally” understood the speculation, saying, “I feel like our careers, people are going to have questions. I totally get it. And their podcast topic is kind of like hot topics inBachelor Nation, so I totally get them speculating. It’s really confusing because Justin and I haven’t said anything publicly. So that’s just something I think is bound to happen when you’re in a public relationship.”

“At some point it’s important to set boundaries for yourself, for your partner, for your relationship…” she shared. “I think we’ve just kind of been keeping things more private, obviously more private than usual while we figure things out for ourselves, either individually or together.”
