\u201cJust putting this out for clarity. Lance and I separated some time ago,\u201d Harris\u2019 statement, which she sent to the Herald, read.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe came to a point in our lives, where our visions and future directions and goals were no longer aligned and my career has taken a new pathway. It was a considered decision made with honesty, aroha, and respect for each other and our families.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harris said it was an amicable separation. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have both since moved on with our lives and are happy. I have the utmost respect for him and his adorable wh\u0101nau, and we will always remain on good terms, continuing with kindness. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhile I am based in Aotearoa, I am currently working abroad and focusing on the next chapter of my life. Xxx. <\/p>\n
\u201cThank you again to my beautiful wh\u0101nau and friends for your love and support. Arohanui Rose.\u201d<\/p>\n
