Rogers added in her chat on the Life Uncut podcast that she had actual doubts about marrying McKeone.
“It felt like I had too much to lose,” she stated.

In the top, she determined to separate with him as a result of she “didn’t have anything left to give”.

“It’s funny, I feel like I’ve always been quite good at choosing friends,” Rogers stated.
“I just haven’t been that good at choosing partners. We’re working on that.”
Rogers stated she’d “definitely” been placing herself on the market extra since her break-up from McKeone.
“You can get so comfortable in certain situations – whether that is a relationship with a partner or with certain friends that you’ve had for years – but they might not actually be serving you,” she stated.
“I think it is important to always re-evaluate your relationships and see if they are bringing what you need. And if they’re not, then end it. I think there’s no shame in getting out of something that isn’t serving you anymore.”
While she hasn’t shared a lot of what led to the break up, Rogers has been open in interviews and on her personal social media concerning the steps she’s taken to heal.
“It’s a tricky thing to navigate because, obviously, there are two people in a relationship,” Rogers instructed Potter.
“Like, I’m such an open person and I want to share more, but I do also need to set boundaries and protect my ex in a way, I suppose.”
Having just lately offered the couple’s dwelling, celebrated her first Christmas and moved into her personal residence, Rogers stated it had been “a bit scary” to “put myself out there a bit more”.
“You have to renavigate the world on your own and figure things out moving forward.”
