Jason Segel & Girlfriend Alexis Mixter Split After 8 Years Together - Read Her Emotional Post

Jason Segel and his longtime girlfriend Alexis Mixter have broken up after eight years together.

The news was announced by Alexis in an Instagram post on Thursday (April 29). She wrote an emotional post that showed the amount of love between them, as well as how that love will continue as a friendship moving forward.

“This is a photo of two best friends. This guy and I have shared so much life together. Changed each other at a soul deep level. All for the better,” Alexis began her post. “The depth of our bond was something I could never have anticipated. I’ve never spent so much time with another person, grown so much alongside someone else, laughed so much, cried so much, shared so much. It is odd to write about the end of a relationship, especially when the friendship that still exists is so full of life. But change happens and we made the decision quite a while ago to let ourselves grow away from what our relationship had been and into what it was becoming.”

“Announcing a breakup on social media is a strange feeling. Some won’t understand why it is necessary and that’s okay. Having a public romantic relationship is not easy,” she continued.

“Ending one feels like navigating a road that doesn’t even exist. We are private people when it comes to our personal lives and I intend to keep it that way,” she said. “My feelings while writing this are only ones of love and gratitude. Gratitude to the universe for putting this man in my life the way it did and then allowing us the grace to decide that what we had, could become more. Because that is what our friendship feels like. More. More than either of us could have asked for in another person.”

She concluded, “This post is a tribute to love and friendship and those relationships that make life worth living. Thank you J for being my best friend. The person who shares all my favorite jokes, sees who I really am and all I want to be, loves me unconditionally and makes me always strive to be bigger and better than I was yesterday. I will never stop cheering you on with every cell of my body. I will never stop loving you unconditionally. (This is an old picture but I chose it because we both love it and it was from such a great day.)”

Jason and Alexis started dating in 2014 and they made their first red carpet appearance as a couple in 2016. He has not yet commented on the split.
