After much speculations of their split, Rao finally broke the silence on their breakup. Through an interview with Hollywood Life in November 2019, the Instagram star mentioned they parted ways after discovering they had different goals in life.
"I was just really destroyed," she admitted before affirming that she still loved RiceGum. But, then, she clarified they had different mindsets.
I wanted to focus on the things I cared about, like life things, and he kind of wanted to care about more his career. It just caused us to clash.
The 24-year-old also shed light on the hate she was receiving from her ex-partner's fans. She shared she was constantly chastised for dating RiceGum, and the 'heartless' comments had only intensified since they parted.
