"Yeah. I don't even know what I'm saying. Because I find myself lost."
In another clip, posted on the Ay Por Favor podcast's Instagram account, Nepola says the pair still "love each other".
"It's not because we don't love each other. But it's just very sad, I guess we couldn't figure out a way to fix things, and that's why I was in such shock because I'm a fighter, I fight right?," Nepola tells Patton.
"Well somebody gave up," Patton interjects, also wiping away tears.
"I was never expecting that, I thought things were good, so it's been really shocking and I'm devastated," Nepola adds.
