"In feb 2019 Jason and I filed for divorce," Cortney wrote, noting that the "court of Kings County New York acknowledged at least a 6 month separation."

Cortney continued, "We asked for privacy this entire time bc we were trying to figure it all out. At one point we thought we were going to divorce in order to date and start all over the right way."

"We have decided together to move on in different paths, but that doesn't mean we don't have love for each other. He will always have a special place in my heart and life."

Cortney and Jason starred on Season 1 of Married at First Sight and chose to stay together on "Decision Day." The pair has since led fans to believe they'd enjoy a happily-ever-after ending.

"We do love you all and appreciate the support that you have shown us from the beginning," Cortney concluded in her post.

As for Jason, 32, he did not write about the divorce at all on social media, nor did Cortney tag him in her post.

Shortly before announcing the news of their breakup, Cortney shared a heartfelt quote on Instagram about the meaning behind unconditional love.

"You can't say you 'love' someone if you only love them when you want to. Love isn't something you schedule," the post read.

"Love doesn't wait until you're on break. You can't love someone only when it's convenient for you. Real and unconditional love is going through the good & the bad."
