Victoria Monét is pulling back the curtain on her recent breakup.

In a lengthy X post Monday, the Grammy-winning R&B star revealed that she and boyfriend John Gaines split 10 months ago.

While the former couple had been "avoiding a formal statement" on their breakup, Monét and Gaines elected to confirm their relationship status and address the "questions and extremely false accusations of our origin story."

"We have thought long and hard about whether we owed it to anyone to explain where we are as we heal, since we understand how social media can magnify the truth or run far with untruths," Monét and Gaines wrote. "Ultimately we decided to be open and address it in hopes to put a period on the question marks for the sake of our healing process."

Monét and Gaines, who share 3-year-old daughter Hazel, did not disclose the cause of their breakup, but the pair stressed that "no infidelity, toxic behavior nor drama" played a role. In the months leading up to their breakup announcement, there was online speculation that Monét began her relationship with Gaines while he was dating another woman.

"We both just have some fundamental growing to do that would be best done apart so we can remain the best versions of ourselves for our daughter," the former couple continued. "It simply didn't work out and that's okay. We still think the world of each other and operate with love in every interaction for our family."

They added: "We have an incredible daughter to raise for life and that is undoubtedly our number 1 priority forever. No relationship status can remove or replace that fact. We are committed to doing the inner work and trust that God will place us both where we belong in due time."

Monét walked the red carpet with Gaines and Hazel at the 66th annual Grammy Awards in February, where she won best new artist following the success of her debut album, "Jaguar II." The 11-track LP features Monét's breakout single "On My Mama," which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.

The Sacramento-bred singer has also penned tracks for artists including T.I., Blackpink, Chloe x Halle and, most prominently, Ariana Grande.

"With good intentions, we honestly have been avoiding a formal statement about something as natural and as personal as love. We originally preferred to keep this out of the public (as announcing this publicly is sure to make pain resurface) but it is becoming more and more difficult to suppress. Yes, we have seen all of the questions and extremely false accusations of our origin story and we have thought long and hard about whether we owed it to anyone to explain where we are as we heal, since we understand how social media can magnify the truth or run far with untruths. Ultimately we decided to be open and address it in hopes to put a period on the question marks for the sake of our healing process. We spent the last 10 months trying to respectfully and privately navigate the fact that we are no longer in a relationship. Though we still completely adore and respect each other, we are not a couple anymore. There was no infidelity, toxic behavior nor drama. We both just have some fundamental growing to do that would be best done apart so we can remain the best versions of ourselves for our daughter. It simply didn't work out and that's okay. We still think the world of each other and operate with love in every interaction for our family. We have an incredible daughter to raise for life and that is undoubtedly our number 1 priority forever. No relationship status can remove or replace that fact. We are committed to doing the inner work and trust that God will place us both where we belong in due time. To all of our supporters, friends and family, thank you for your love, care and concern. Please allow us the peace and space to maintain a safe and happy environment to continue to co-parent to the best of our ability for Hazel! We plan to remain a family regardless of our public facing title, so please when you see us together with Hazel, be understanding and gentle. We appreciate you all for hearing us out and hope to be kept in your well intentioned prayers. Thank you."
