Their split appeared to be largely due to not being able to settle on a permanent living situation. Nist is based in New Jersey while Turner has called Indiana "home."
"We looked at homes in South Carolina, we considered New Jersey, and we just looked at home after home, but we never got to the point where we made that decision," Nist said.
Turner added, "I still love this person. There’s no doubt in my mind, I still am in love with her. I root for her every day."
Nist agreed, "Yeah, I still love him."
