What Bernard Parker said about his personal struggles
Parker's social media activity follows a statement announcing his separation from Stepanovic. In the statement, he apologised for his actions and acknowledged their impact on the people closest to him.
“I have made mistakes and struggled with personal addictions that have affected my life and the people I love,” Parker wrote.
Addressing Stepanovic directly, he added:
“Kacha, I’m truly sorry for the times I hurt you, let you down, and caused you pain.”
He also accepted responsibility for his mistakes, acknowledging that “some things cannot simply be undone with an apology”.

She added:
“Make sure whatever you do is worth losing it all.”
