And in those moments, we’re forced to make the hardest decisions to protect our peace, our children, and our future.I’ve come to the understanding that staying isn’t always the most loving decision someone can make.

For me, leaving was an act of love — for those around me and for myself.“Living with transparency and authenticity has been how I have grown into the person I am today, and I’ll continue to do so — while also protecting the parts of this journey that are private and unfolding in uncharted territory.”Reid reshared her post ot her Instagram Story, writing, “Time to exhale” with a bandaged heart emoji.Court records showed that Reid filed for divorce from the retired swimmer on March 26, according to People.
