“From the time we were two unknown individuals to now, where we face the future filled with anticipation, advancing toward our dreams with smiles every day—you all have been with us along the way,” the couple wrote in their emotional, handwritten note. They acknowledged the critical support network that sustained them over the years, specifically thanking their families, professional colleagues (“fellow warriors”), close friends, and the legions of devoted fans.
The statement continued, outlining their profound commitment: “This year, we will enter a new stage. We have decided to become one another’s focus for the rest of our lives, to be each other’s partner for the years to come.” They concluded by accepting the challenges ahead, vowing to continue pursuing their shared goals together.
