“We realize how much our relationship meant to so many people, especially trans individuals, giving them the belief that they too can experience this sort of love. In spite of the separation, my hope for love has not diminished but rather strengthened.

It has been so healing and encouraging for us both to know that we are both capable of loving and being loved with this degree of kindness, respect, trust, affection, depth, and intensity, Laverne continued. “I am incredibly thankful for all of our shared moments and that we were both receptive to love.

As a result, we have both developed in several ways. It’s simply time to proceed independently now. Both of us desire a separation that respects and acknowledges the caliber of our union and the love we shared.
