A source told People (opens in new tab) that their “busy schedules” was a contributing factor in their breakup. The insider said: “They really loved each other and have been through some of their toughest life moments together.”
Before adding, “busy work schedules and travel definitely put a strain on the relationship. They were a wonderful couple and it’s really sad that it didn’t work out.”
While they have both moved on, fans are now claiming that Vanessa played a big hand in actually manifesting his Elvis role.
In fact, they have pointed out that she was actually the one to encourage him to audition for the role in the first place. Appearing on Live with Ryan and Kelly in 2019 (a year before their split) Vanessa shared that she was so ‘proud’ of him for landing the role and said: “It’s so crazy because last December, we were driving along and we were listening to Christmas music, and then an Elvis Presley Christmas song came on.
“He had just dyed his hair dark, he’s a natural blonde—and I was looking at him and he was singing along and I was like, ‘babe, you need to play Elvis. I don’t know how, but I’m serious. You need to play him.’”
