Although it wasn't easy, the couple stuck it out until the end.

Speaking about it, Ciara said to Cosmopolitan South Africa that she wanted them to first build a foundation of friendship before exploring the romantic side of their relationship. In her words:

"Once you know you're really great friends and you're what we call 'equally yoked' where you share the same values or the same outlook on life, it kind of sets the tone."
