“For the first time in like three years I feel like I don’t have to keep some sort of my life private anymore,” she continued. “We were just under wraps about everything. I was still trying to figure out, how does my life look without him in it? It’s been a long time but I feel really good. I’ve processed it all. I’m such at peace.”
While it didn’t work out between the two, Gibelli said she doesn’t regret “anything” from the pair’s time together.
“You definitely learn from all different kinds of love. I definitely learned from that,” she shared. “In a relationship, we were just very different, and I think that’s very clear. There’s nothing wrong with that, opposites really attract, but with us, it’s just I guess the way that we communicated, we didn’t really understand what the other was trying to say. It was constantly like that.”
