"Much of the reason is her need to stay in Los Angeles due to major career developments happening in the new year. The two remain on good terms."

Jon has lived in New York since he and Corinne began dating in mid-2018 after being introduced to each other by mutual friends.
Corinne had told Us in March she would normally be the person to travel and visit Jon in their relationship since he had "more of a 9-to-5" [job] and it was easier for her to pick up and leave L.A. at any time.
Corinne, 27, was reportedly already spotted with a mystery man at Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood, CA, on Saturday in the wake of her split from Jon.
The split may come as a surprise to fans because during her March interview with Us, Corinne had gushed about being "soul mates" with Jon.
Corinne said at the time she envisioned herself getting engaged to Jon down the road and they had already begun looking for the perfect engagement ring.
"It'd be really traumatic if we ever broke up," Corinne told the magazine.
"But not because we're gonna get engaged. I don't know if I was supposed to say that. Well, I mean, I hope so."
She added, "It's time. I told him. I'm like, 'Listen, bro. You got until the end of this year.'"

Corinne told Entertainment Tonight in July 2018 that Jon was well aware of her fame before they got romantically involved.
"Jon knew exactly who I was and didn't tell me," Corinne said last year.
"He just kept his cool and was feeling me out the same way I was feeling him out."
The reality TV star spoke so highly of Jon at the time, saying he's "so amazing" as well as "kind, caring and supportive."
"He's, like, confident on his own and funny on his own," she told ET. "He's the package. We love each other. I love him."
Corinne found fame when she competed for Nick Viall's heart on Season 21 of The Bachelor in 2017, during which she was viewed as a controversial character.
Corinne, who was unapologetically herself and arguably over confident during the season, became known for boasting about her sexual prowess as well as her witty one-liners.
Corinne then appeared on Bachelor in Paradise's fourth season, and her brief appearance sparked allegations of sexual misconduct regarding her relationship with co-star DeMario Jackson.

However, there was no evidence of wrongdoing on DeMario's part after a thorough investigation was conducted.
