A television personality has opened up about the painful personal revelation that became the catalyst for his commitment to a sober lifestyle. The star confirmed that learning his estranged wife had become involved with a close friend following their separation served as a profound wake-up call.
While he emphasized this was not his lowest point—that period involved severe isolation and substance abuse—he stated that this personal betrayal ultimately pushed him toward making a definitive, positive change. He expressed ongoing frustration with certain actions but maintained he would not speak ill of his former partner.
“A marriage is a partnership, and it takes two,” he reflected. “We were in deep, and both of us reached a breaking point. The hurt was immense.” He acknowledged the unique difficulty of navigating a very public breakup while filming a reality series, admitting to moments where tensions ran so high he had to leave the set.
Despite the turmoil, he said he still grapples with unanswered questions about the marriage’s dissolution, wondering why significant issues weren’t addressed directly while they were still together. He described his current approach to the co-parenting relationship as carefully diplomatic, focused on maintaining an amicable environment for their child.
“We are both great parents to our son, and that’s what truly matters now,” he stated.
In a previous discussion, the star had revealed a past struggle with addiction but reported he is now completely sober from both drugs and alcohol. He described his current physical and mental state as the healthiest he has felt in decades, expressing a firm determination to protect his hard-won progress.
