"Will and I have definitely worked through a lot in our first year of marriage," said Weaver.
She described the sudden adjustment to public visibility and commercial opportunities as an unexpected challenge for the newlyweds.
"I would say it's been a very abnormal first year of marriage.
It took a 180 and I was not only trying to navigate being a good wife, but I also have a new reality," said Weaver.
The sudden influx of brand inquiries required immediate management from the couple shortly after her rookie season.
"It was a learning curve," said Weaver.
Weaver recalled how overwhelmed they felt when direct messages and business requests began flooding her digital platforms.
"We were literally thrown to the wolves 'cause immediately, people were messaging Reece wanting her to do this, wanting her to do that.
It was brand-new to us," said Weaver.
Allman noted that the logistical demands of tracking deadlines began shifting their relationship toward a corporate dynamic.
"These are really cool opportunities that we can't really pass up, but it got to a point where I was telling Reece what to do," said Allman.
He explained that the business obligations temporarily overshadowed their personal partnership.
"'You need to do this. This is the deadline for this.'
It became more like a business partnership rather than a marriage," said Allman.
Decision and Future
Weaver maintained that her ultimate departure was the result of a long-term emotional and spiritual evaluation process.
"I've been wrestling with this decision all throughout this past year and a lot of it came from just having a heart full of gratitude," said Weaver.
