Orianne pointed to the headaches brought about by the pandemic as a key factor in the split.
'I believe the emotional stress of the COVID quarantine caused me to act in ways to do things that were out of character,' she said.
Orianne vowed that she would handle the situation with resiliency, while sending her gratitude to those who have had her back.
'Fortunately I have faced challenging situations before and like I always have, I will muster up the strength I can, the best team I can find and the courage to do the right thing,' she wrote. 'Thank you to so many who have supported me in the past - it means so much to my family and me.'
