Why Did Holly Madison and Pasquale Rotello Split?

Following multiple reports that the pair had called it quits during the summer of 2018, Pasquale confirmed the breakup via Instagram that September. 

“It is with love in our hearts and a deep respect for one another that Holly and I have amicably made the decision to separate,” he captioned his post at the time. “First and foremost, we are forever partners and parents to two beautiful children and are fully committed to raising them in an environment filled with love and positivity,” he added. 

He went on to compliment his ex, saying, “Holly is a talented woman and a beautiful soul. We remain the best of friends while coparenting and continuing to support one another in our respective passions in life.”
