"Love Is Blind" stars Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers have officially gone their separate ways.
"Damian and I ended our relationship, and I wanted to start traveling and wanted to start experiencing new things," she confirmed in an interview with Insider.
The former couple, who met on the debut season of the Netflix reality show, dated on and off for two years after leaving the pods in 2018.
When they filmed the three new "After the Altar" reunion episodes in November, Gibelli and Powers were "not officially boyfriend and girlfriend" but were "still being boyfriend-girlfriend," she said.
They were "constantly communicating" leading up to the cast's two-year anniversary event, Gibelli explained.
But after Powers invited his friend Francesa Farago, a contestant on Netflix's "Too Hot to Handle," to accompany him to the party without telling Gibelli beforehand, it proved to be more than their relationship could handle.
"After that party, I just knew there's nothing I can do anymore," Gibelli told Insider. "I was just so turned off."
Gibelli and Powers eventually had a 'drawn-out' breakup
Though viewers don't see what happens after an aggravated Powers stormed out of the venue, Gibelli said the former couple continued to discuss the situation.
"Me and Damian talked it out, not to forgive and forget, but just to keep talking and be like, 'Hey, what was that? What was that in there?'"
Powers drove Gibelli home at the end of the night, and a "very long," "drawn-out" breakup followed.
"It was really hard to let go of each other," she said.
Once they cut the cord, Gibelli and Powers started communicating less and less, transitioning from talking every day to once "every couple of months."
"We always check in on each other to be like, 'Hey, are you okay? How is everything?'" she said.
Two days prior to her call with Insider, Gibelli said she touched base with Powers about the recently released "After the Altar" trailer. She said those types of exchanges are "pretty much the extent" of their communication.
Gibelli says she's moved on from the situation
Despite feeling hurt toward the end of the relationship, Gibelli said she doesn't believe in "holding grudges" and still values the experiences she shared with Powers on "Love Is Blind" and in the years that followed after the show wrapped.
"We went through this really big thing together," she said. "Your counterpart is really the only person that knows how it feels."
Now, Gibelli told Insider that she's "moved on" and worked hard to be in a "good headspace" independent of a relationship.
"I've built this wall around me of good thoughts and just only thinking about how this is a positive time in my life," Gibelli said.
