People magazine first reportedtheir split on Dec. 6.
"I wanted to give you guys an update on my life," she began her video. "I know I'm going to be speaking for the both of us, and it's just been really hard to process in general, and I think why I've been scared to say something is because I feel it just makes it more real."
Earle then tearfully revealed that "Braxton and I are no longer together."
"We have been doing long distance since, basically, June and we haven't gotten to see each other that often," she said. "It's just been really difficult for me."

In her video, Earle shared that being in Los Angeles for "DWTS" made her aware that she could see herself moving there. "That was a scary thing for me to realize because it meant us not being in the same place," she said.
Ultimately, Earle "really wants to be focusing on myself right now," adding that she feels she "can't be what Braxton needs" at the moment. "I want him to have someone with him 24/7 who can support him and be there for him," Earle went on. "And he wasn't really expecting that of me. I think it was more of a me thing, but I constantly felt guilty."
Still, Earle emphasized that the two walked away from the relationship on good terms. "I love Braxton. He's my best friend, you know? So it's been really difficult to go forward with this," she said.
