“TODAY” show contributor Jill Martin and her fiancé Erik Brooks have split up, and the couple is citing the coronavirus pandemic as a source of tension.

“This pandemic has taken a toll on so many aspects of life — it’s such a difficult time for everyone. Erik is the most magnificent person, but with him living in Boston with his children, and me living in New York, the distance just became too difficult for us to maintain the kind of relationship that’s important to us both,” Martin, 44, told Yahoo via a representative. “He is an amazing man, and I wish him nothing but the best.”

Less than two months ago, the couple appeared to be quarantining together, even appearing in a “Today” video alongside each other detailing how they’re navigating their relationship in isolation.

“Erik and I have never spent so much concentrated time together. We’ve been here, basically alone for three weeks, 24/7, and to be honest, like many couples, we don’t even have kids here right now because his kids are in Boston, and like many couples, we’ve had a couple of blow-ups. I would say they were kind of major blow-ups,” said Martin, smiling as she looked at Brooks. “But it’s been tough.”
