Last week’s confirmation of the couple’s split came with the requisite “we still love each other … as friends”-type statements from both sides’ camps. But Us Weekly now reports that Levine was “blindsided” by the announcement and wasn’t “fully sure” they were over. Vyalitsyna apparently wanted to break the news first so it didn’t look like she’d been broken up with. (As if anyone would imagine that Victoria’s Secret models get dumped.)
