"Having you in my life was the happiest I had ever been," Barbie wrote, also describing Jak's love as "exceptional."

The caption was written like a letter to Jak. Barbie even tagged the actor in the post, it looked like the breakup happened before the post happened, and it was indeed a "beautiful goodbye."

"Thank you for loving me the way you did," Barbie wrote. "I am excited for what's to come for the both of us."

Barbie hopes for everyone's understanding and wishes that everyone can help them "put this matter to rest."

So did she just make this post for formality so whatever rumor there is about their breakup can be put to rest?

Nonetheless, it was such a beautiful goodbye letter. Let's wish them well.
