Jonathan answered the painful question of why they ended their relationship 

”To cut a long story short, I’m just not ready for a relationship. There’s still a lot of love there but timing is everything and the time now is not right. Sometimes you need to take a step back and work on yourself in order to become the perfect person for someone else, and be able to love them like they deserve to be loved, with everything you have.”

The answer is sincere and honest and seems like the pair might get together again? Only time will tell
