On March 5, Flagg announced that he and Boyd were divorcing and broke the news to the public through an Instagram post.
“Bobby and I are getting a divorce — This may sound abrupt, but I felt like I should be transparent from above rather than burying the headline,” he began his post.
“It wasn’t a hasty or impulsive decision. We did a lot of thinking before coming to this conclusion,” continued the top-grossing LA realtor.
Flagg also stressed that the split was amicable and the two still care deeply about each other.
“It wasn’t a lack of love, but we’re both growing in different directions and wanting different things for ourselves,” he continued.
