James has also posted about embarking on a new journey following his and Raquel’s split.
“today one chapter ends and a new chapter truly begins for me,” he wrote on Instagram on Dec. 7. “Not sure what I’m going to do but I do know one thing, I will continue my journey without alcohol, I will find my true self and the music never dies.”
He concluded, “Thank you to all my friends that have reached out I appreciate you all so much. Cheers.”
The couple, who announced their engagement in May 2021, revealed on Dec. 5 that they were going their separate ways.
“After these 5 wonderful years we had together, we decided we have two different goals and made the decision to call off the engagement,” the two said in a statement shared on their Instagram accounts. “We love each other very much, but we aren’t in love anymore. We want nothing but the best for each other so please keep any thoughts positive. Sending Love.”
