“Most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana,” he wrote in a March 7 statement shared to Instagram. “I made mistakes, I was selfish, and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love. No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly.”
Reflecting on their nine-year relationship, Tom shared that he has remorse about the way their romance ended.
“My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana. I never meant to disappoint so many people, including our loving families and friends,” he wrote. “I wish things happened in a different order and our relationship was not severely tarnished, and that it ended with the same respect for her that it began with. I owed Ariana better.”
