Jason Oppenheim and Marie Lou Nurk have called it quits after 10 months.
“While we still love and care about each other very much the distance between us has proven to be too great a challenge to overcome,” Jason wrote on his Instagram story alongside a photo of the pair looking off into the sunset. "
He continued, “We remain close friends and continue to talk often and support each other and we want the very best for one another. We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship.”
The news comes just a few days after Nurk spoke candidly about the struggles of dating long distance during an Instagram Q&A.

The 25-year-old model, who had been splitting her time between Paris and L.A., responded to a question about Oppenheim’s reaction to her moving back to France.
“The truth is, we both knew from the beginning that I would have to move back because of my job, friends, and family being here,” she wrote in her response. “Long distance relationships can be tough, but we’re both committed to making it work. We make sure to communicate regularly and make time for each other despite the distance.”

At the end of the day, it’s important to follow your heart and pursue your dreams, even if it means taking risks and facing challenges.”

Oppenheim set the record straight in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE: “Lou and I quickly realized that our post on Instagram made it look like we had just been married. We received numerous congratulatory texts, as well as angry texts from friends asking why they weren’t invited, so quickly changed the caption! All these photos were from an event that we went to together a couple of months ago.”
