Avril's first post went viral, exposing the turbulent nature of her relationship with J Blessing and sparking the controversy.
Following the internet craze, Avril took to social media once more to announce her decision to forgive J Blessing and to encourage others to show her partner the same forgiveness.
The couple announced their decision to end their seven-year marriage amicably and admitted to the fight in a joint statement.
Both parties reportedly sustained injuries during the physical altercation, necessitating medical attention.
J Blessing accepted responsibility for the event and made it clear that one of the pictures Avril had posted was from a fight that had happened almost a year prior.
He apologized for the hurt caused and said he took Avril to Aga Khan Hospital immediately so she could get better.
"I sincerely apologize for any harm I have caused Avril or any other person. I am not innocent, but I would like to clarify a few things. About a year ago, we had a physical altercation where we both got hurt, and on that day, I immediately took her to the hospital at Aga Khan. I take full responsibility for that moment of weakness. One of the pictures she posted is from that incident," he explained in his statement.
