Chloe told Australia’s Daily Telegraph’s Stellar Magazine about the split, “I went through a hard year and I'm not going to hide that. I had to deal with this new level of fame while I was growing up, I was getting out of a relationship and all of it was very public. I wanted to hide.”

Luckily the actress had close friends and family who were there to help her through her heartbreak. Though instead of letting her wallow in her sadness, they encouraged her to stay strong. She continued to say, “they were like, 'That's all great that you want to go away—but you can't. You are your own person. You're going to have to deal with this sort of thing. I felt like things were falling apart, like my head and heart weren't in the same place.”

“Things started to change when I realized I have the power within to change them,” Chloe added. She’s totally right about that, the power to change her outlook on the situation was in her own hands. It may have taken her some time to realize it, but then again we can’t imagine just how hard it is to have something like a breakup become such a public thing. It’s no wonder she wanted to take some time away from everyone and everything. Besides, in the end everything worked out because the couple is now stronger and more in love than ever. Clearly things happen for a reason.
