Speaking to New! magazine, Jess said:
To lose a baby and the person you thought you were going to have more children with and get married to, it's been a bit of a shock really. At first it was super hard, but now I'm feeling a lot stronger and trying to have a different outlook.
Jess Hayes opens up about her split
She continued:
We weren't getting on as well as we used to and we didn't want to be unhappy around Presley. I'm not ruling out anything in the future, but right now we don't work together. I feel like for whatever reason it's just not meant to be right now and we need time apart. Whether that's for a year, I just don't know. I'm just trying to put a positive spin on it.
Jess said:
Initially you're devastated and heartbroken, but I feel like the universe always has a plan for you. Things happen for a reason, really shit reasons I know, but I'm just trying to live in the moment and trust in the process and the journey.
