FULL STATEMENT Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers split up
After a rather lengthy on-again, off-again relationship, The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers have officially split once again.
Vicki broke the news to fans earlier today with this statement posted on Facebook:
After much prayer, thought, counseling, and consideration, we have decided to end our four year relationship. We both wish nothing but a great future for each other. We have come to realize that one can indeed love someone in their heart, but that the time may come for their lives to take separate paths. Though the remaining episodes of Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Orange County will show us as a couple, the filming took place in January 2015 through May 2015. There will be no further statements or interviews regarding our relationship as we choose to move on with our lives. Though we choose to live our lives in the public eye we thank you for your understanding and ask privacy during this difficult time.

Vicki shared the statement on Twitter and got numerous responses, both positive and negative. She responded to one of each, including one comment that brought up the hotly debated rumors that Brooks was faking his cancer diagnosis this season:
@ColbertVanessa We do not condone or find this funny in the least bit about Brooks health. He has cancer and is going to focus on his health

@etucker4 Thank you – yes I guess it's my year of losses.
