Thorne and Sulkin dated for over a year before deciding to end their relationship “after much thought and soul-searching,” according to a report by People.
The two announced the breakup through a joint statement saying, “We will always love each other and have a deep respect for one another, as we have each grown to be better people because of our time together. Our schedules made seeing each other difficult, and we decided that for now this would be best."
The actress also said she was grateful for the relationship, after a fan tweeted how she was saddened by the split.
