KJ Apa and his longtime girlfriend Clara Berry have confirmed their split after dating for over two years. Berry, a French model, announced the breakup during an Instagram Q&A session in late February. She expressed feeling happier post-breakup and emphasized the importance of co-parenting their two-year-old son, Sasha Vai Keneti Apa.
Berry shared her belief that separated parents who are happy and can be their best selves are preferable to staying together in an unhappy relationship. She acknowledged the challenge of not having her son 50% of the time but highlighted the importance of maintaining a positive environment for their child.
Despite their separation, Apa and Berry were recently seen together at the Lacoste Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show during Paris Fashion Week, where they greeted each other warmly, indicating an amicable relationship.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in August 2020 when Apa posted nude photos of Berry on Instagram, followed by a pregnancy announcement in May 2021. Their son was born in September 2021, bringing immense joy to the couple.
Apa has shared heartwarming moments of father-son bonding on social media, including reading to Sasha and capturing family vacations. The couple's playful interactions on social media, such as Apa jokingly referring to Berry as his wife, led to speculation about a secret marriage, which Apa neither confirmed nor denied.
While Apa expressed a desire to marry Berry in the future, he clarified that they were not officially married at the time. The couple's journey, from romance to parenthood, has been documented on social media, showcasing their love and dedication to their family.
