The source added that both have thrown themselves into work and are spending time with friends following the split. Another tipster noted, "They had been together for ten years so it was always going to take time to adjust. Right now their focus is on their sons and keeping normality for them."
No Public Comment
Neither Vincent nor Bryan has publicly commented on their separation. The couple have unfollowed one another on Instagram, and Vincent recently shared a post captioned somehow an ending and a beginning all at once," alongside a series of photos of herself and her children.
Background

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
