Josh Flaggand his husband are calling it quits.
“This might sound abrupt but I felt I should be transparent from the top rather than bury the headline,” he wrote. “This was not a rash or impulsive decision. We have been very thoughtful before coming to this conclusion.”
“Thanks to all for your unwavering support,” he concluded.
Flagg also shared the announcement to his Instagram Story, along with some images from the Brando Resort, an exclusive luxury enclave on French Polynesia’s private island Tetiaroa.

“The last 6 years of my life I wouldn’t change for the world,” Boydbegan his post. “6 years ago, I met and fell in love with my best friend. From the first date we were inseparable and took off at lightning speed. Josh and I had a whirlwind of a love story that I will forever be grateful for. We have both taught each other so much and have learned so much about ourselves throughout our relationship.
“As the news has come out, it may seem sudden to most of you, but Josh and I have been spending the last couple of months figuring this out together. We wanted this to be private between us and not involve most of our friends and family. If there is one thing I can say about both of us, it’s that we both gave everything we absolutely could to make this work.”
Boyd added, “Unfortunately, as we have learned, sometimes love isn’t enough. We have found that we want different things for our lives and our paths look very different now. I love Josh with all of my heart and will always respect and admire him. I’m forever grateful to him for showing me that true love does exist.
“And now, today, we both go on our new journeys. This may be the end of our romantic relationship, but I’ll always consider him part of my family.”
He concluded with a note to Flagg as well as their followers, writing, “Joshua, I love you and wish you nothing but love and absolute happiness. Thank you everyone for your love, support, and understanding.”
