John admitted that their relationship was not the best timing. “seems fast and messy.”But he said that their chemistry was undisputed and he was “falling helplessly for his best friend.”
“Once Katie and I realized there was a romantic connection that we were interested in exploring, we were not starting from scratch; we were building off of the foundation of a close friendship through which, we had already gotten to know each other so well,”He wrote. “The speed at which I fell for this incredible, nurturing, and genuinely caring human being was honestly terrifying. I was scared. But every step of the way felt so right.”
He continued, “Our decision to come out publicly was a decision to pursue happiness in the way we wanted. Disagreeing with someone for how they decide to go about it is okay. Everybody is different. I understand.”
John took a moment and apologised to everyone who had done so. “felt emotionally triggered by how our actions have been perceived.”
“It deeply saddens me to think that my and Katie’s relationship could have been a source of anxiety for ANYONE,”He added. “As I mentioned before, cheating in any form is unacceptable, and I’m sorry if it looked as though either of us were taking advantage of anyone’s trust.”
