During the podcast, Kirkconnell also shared that before the breakup, she believed they were “on the same page, privately and publicly.” She said, “We talked about rings, he told me a few months ago to start saving some things, picking things out.”
Hours before her podcast appearance, TMZ released footage of her first public outing since the split. At LAX before boarding a flight, she told the outlet she was “hanging in there” and elaborated on the breakup, saying, “Things will start to come out and I’ll speak about it whenever I’m ready, but for now, I’m just protecting my peace.” She also confirmed there was “no” infidelity involved in the split and that there’s “no” chance they’d get back together.
Before speaking on Call Her Daddy, Kirkconnell hinted that the breakup announcement came as a surprise to her while interacting with comments on a tribute for James’ 33rd birthday on Instagram. She liked supportive fan comments and also a comment speculating that she wasn’t ready for the announcement to be made public.
