“Wish I didn’t have to do this… Unfortunately it’s the world we live in, so here it is,” Courtney, 31, began on Instagram, “There’s probably not many of you who’ll understand this or even be able to relate, but Lily and I have chosen not to end our relationship but to continue it as mates.

That’s impressive!”
