- In a Thursday appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,"YouTube star Liza Koshy opened up about her recent breakup with David Dobrik.
- Koshy told Colbert that making a YouTube video to announce her breakup with Dobrik six months after the fact was a part of the healing process.
- "We wanted to heal first," she said of their decision to wait six months to announce their split. "We wanted to give ourselves some time to come to an understanding and be able to be best friends and be in each other’s lives still without being in a romantic relationship and still be able to create online."
- Colbert said the former couple's friendship is a "terrible idea."
- But Koshy thinks there's more to their relationship than romance. "For those six months, we took that time for ourselves to grow," she said. "And to create, still, together and show the world that you can be friends, that you can still be in love."
