When asked about the breakup by E! News at the VMAs, Nic had some lovely things to say about Olandria.Kevin Mazur//Getty ImagesAxelle/Bauer-Griffin//Getty Images“We have a lot of love for each other,” he told E! correspondent Keltie Knight of Ola. “We’re constantly supporting each other. I’ll always be her number one fan.”Elsewhere during his chat with E!, Nic opened up about staying friends with exes.“If you end healthily, it’s cool,” he admitted before subtly sharing where he and Olandria stand. “Sometimes it’s better to maybe not be friends, but in my case, yes. We ended on a good note.”He then gave fans some advice about getting through heartbreak, saying, “Things will always get better. It’s rock bottom, but it’s about the climb.” Miley’s impact!Nic’s comments come after a source confirmed his and Olandria’s split to People in July.“The distance between them and their busy schedules made it challenging to maintain their connection,” an insider told the outlet at the time. “They still remain close friends. They share a deep love and respect for each other and will always support one another whenever possible.”Months after breakup reports surfaced, they sparked reconciliation rumors when they were photographed together at Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns’ wedding on August 15.However, Nic addressed the sighting shortly after without revealing if they had rekindled their romance.“I would love to tell you guys, but I’m going to keep that private for now,” he said when asked if they were back together. “We did enjoy ourselves tremendously at Karl and Jordyn’s wedding last night. It was amazing,” he continued, emphasizing that you can “absolutely” be friends with an ex.However, Olandria has remained tight-lipped about their split and subsequent sighting, which checks out since she told Cosmopolitan back in May, “You don’t see me clear up any rumors or address anything, because if you find yourself doing that, you create a loop of doing that over and over.”Well…there’s that!
