'Are You the One?' 'Perfect Match' Couple Announce Split

A queer couple that was deemed a "perfect match" on the MTV reality show "Are You the One?" has split up.

It was a rocky ride for Basit and Jonathan but by the end of the season, which made headlines for featuring a fully queer cast, the duo seemed to be strong. And fans of the show who followed the couple after the show ended knew they were serious about their relationship and going strong.

But Basit took to Instagram on Sept. 24 to reveal to their 68,000 followers that they and Jonathan have ended their relationship and are seemingly on good terms. Sharing a photo of the couple on the season finale of "Are You the One?" Basit wrote: "I met a boy in Hawaii who had the most beautiful head of hair. From the moment we locked eyes I knew our connection was magnetic, but I could have never predicted how much our relationship would grow and evolve in such a short period of time. We ended up winning in more ways than one."

Basit added: "Jonathan booked a flight to NYC right after we left Hawaii, and when he arrived here we picked up right where we left off. Our time spent together after @areuthe1 was proof that our relationship was genuine and authentic, and it gave me so much peace of mind to know we had built a relationship based in honesty and communication.

"My life, my goals, and my dreams are all based here in NYC, and I have no intentions of leaving anytime soon," Basit continued. "Jonathan on the other hand had a difficult time seeing himself living in NYC which is totally understandable. This city ain't for everybody.

"Ultimately we had to decide whether or not we would pursue a long-distant relationship, and because we value our connection so deeply we have chosen to end our romantic relationship on mutual, positive, and supportive note," Basit went on to write. "We value each other so much, and have a deep respect and appreciation for each other. I personally have been in enough unsuccessful long distance relationships, and at the end of the day we both have to do what's best for us."

Jonathan's Instagram is private and he's not been active on Twitter to respond to the breakup. Nevertheless, check out Basit's post below.
