“I am fine. He is fine. At this stage of life, we are better as friends. He is a very private person and will freak when he reads this, but I wanted to address it myself,” she said.

“It’s tricky being in the public eye,” Booth continued Monday.
“Social media is a huge platform that allows me to share this highlight reel of my life with SO many people, but when it comes to private matters, it’s not so easy for me to share…especially when another person is involved. At the same time, I want to be vulnerable and real because it’s humbling that all of you take the time to care about what’s going on in my life-the good and the bad. Thank you for the continued love and support🖤”

While Cooper is not as much of a public figure as Booth, the two frequently appeared on each other’s Instagram feeds throughout their near-one year of dating.
The last time Cooper appeared on Booth’s Instagram was in late August, from a “staycation” in Nashville. “Such a “dreamy” Nashville staycation with my loves🖤 ” Booth captioned a pair of photos, one featuring the couple and the other showing her dog Marlo posing on an orange couch.
A few days prior to that post, Cooper had shared a photo with Booth at a fundraiser for the Lwala Community Alliance.
