A day after Brian's admission, LaPaglia posted a cryptic handwritten note on notebook paper that read: “Eventually you'll see that life goes on, even though you don't want it to.”

The note continued, “Days will pass and the world will go by when you tell it to stop. You will believe that life is cruel to go on with your feet stuck. You will find people and moments to blame for your concrete feet. Then there will come a morning when Hoping to show you that you wake up and realize that life isn't cruel, you can too.

“Hey guys I'm feeling really blind right now,” he wrote on Tuesday. “Going off social media for a while and trying to heal in person, when I'm ready I'll be back and ready to talk. I love you guys. Thank you so much for all your kind words. Remember you are loved and all. It will always be okay.”

LaPaglia reiterated that she felt “blindsided” in a YouTube video where she went into more detail, saying she didn't know she was going to post about their breakup.

“I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up,” she says in the video. “I had no idea the post was going up. He didn't text me. He didn't call me. I just woke up to a bunch of texts, 'Are you okay?' And I say, 'Is my father dead?' And so I was completely blindsided by it.”

She added that she had been crying for about five days.

He said he couldn't understand how a person could love someone “so unconditionally through stuff that you shouldn't because you just love them, as you see the good in them” and still “be discarded in a matter of days.”

LaPaglia said she doesn't want to go into details about the breakup yet because she needs to “personally heal” first.

“I'm going to be OK, I'm going to be OK, I'm obviously really hurt right now,” he added.

She added, “There's nothing I wouldn't do for you. My person forever. I love you my Zachary.”
