The YouTube stars Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul have ended their relationship after a turbulent nine months. The pair went public with their romance in April, then had a very public wedding in July, but have now announced they are taking a break.

The couple shared the same photo on their Instagram pages with statements about how they were feeling.

Mongeau said she didn't really know how to do a "we're taking a break" post but was glad to be doing it with Paul next to her.

"For right now we both are taking a break to focus on our own very crazy lives,"she wrote. "I'll never know what the future holds and I will always love Jake and everything we did. I'm grateful to know throughout this I've made a best friend for life & found someone to do life with when no one understood me."

She joked about taking Paul's Lamborghini since she gets "half of everything."

"No need for crazy speculations — this is coming from a place of nothing but love," she concluded. "I love u Jakey. Thank u for this past year."

Paul commented underneath "wuv u" and posted his own statement.

"As Tana and I sit next to each other writing captions about taking a break we're literally laughing at how crazy and stupid the past couple months have been and cracking jokes at how silly this all seems," he wrote. "I'm keeping custody of Thor but Tana unfortunately gets my Lamborghini."

He said he wouldn't change anything and mirrored Mongeau's sentiment of their remaining close friends who needed to focus on themselves. He said the break was "bitter sweet" but "what's best for us right now."

"The last thing we wanna see is fan pages speculating 'what happened,'" he said.

"We truly just need a second to focus on our own lives and ourselves."

Mongeau commented below, as tongue-in-cheek as ever, "ur still my bestie so that's cool wanna get married?"

The public breakup comes just a few days after Mongeau posted a raw, emotional video she called "the truth about everything," where she hinted that her and Paul's relationship had gone downhill since their wedding night — which she called "just hell."

Mongeau, who once described the wedding as being "for fun and for content," spoke about the various rumors and speculations that had been flying around over the past few months and described their open relationship as tough on her mental health. She said she was pretending to be the "cool girl" for Paul but realized she was just looking through rose-tinted glasses.

"I was the one green-lighting everything because I just wanted to make him happy," she said.

She also said finding out Paul had met up with his ex-girlfriend Erika Costell a month after their vows had left her feeling "broken" and said it was difficult when he then released a new song about another ex, Alissa Violet, and posted an old photo of them kissing on his Instagram page.

"I felt like I was opening my phone every day to something that just broke me further," she said.

She also said she probably should have stayed single after breaking up with her previous boyfriend, Brad Sousa, but "lost herself" in Paul.

"It was the best feeling in the world to be so on the same page with someone," she said. "It was like a drug."
