Her statement, which was written in Swedish, went on, “I have loved you more than anything and always supported you. But even love has its limits. The greatest love is my children and I want them to know their worth just as I know mine. Being taken for granted and neglected is not love.”

The couple has known each other since they were children and have been together for 19 according to NY Post.

“Mixed emotions, sad to leave Leipzig that has become our second home. Sad to leave friends that have become family. Excited for what’s to come. Happy to stay with family. New York. New York.” She wrote in an Instagram post on December 23 2023.
