Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel is opening up about his now confirmed split with Instagram model wife Bre Tiesi. Manziel confirmed the news to TMZ Sports and said he was going to put his focus on the Alliance of American Football. Tiesi and Manziel wed in March 2018.
Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel shared an emotional Instagram post Saturday dedicated to his estranged wife -- more than a month after the couple had split up.
Manziel, who has since deleted all of his pictures off his Instagram account, apologized to Bre Tiesi in the post. It was the same day as Tiesi's birthday.

“HBD B. There would be no life for me without you having come into mine. Through everything we’ve overcome I just want to say I’m sorry. For not being there more and doing what I can to make you truly happy. You deserve it all and then some. Love ya for life,” he wrote.
A Twitter user took a screenshot of the message before Manziel scrubbed his account.
Manziel confirmed to TMZ Sports in March he and Tiesi had split.
“This is all very, very personal and very sad,” he said. “I appreciate everyone who has been so supportive of both of us and I would just ask that everyone respect our privacy at this difficult time.”
Tiesi and Manziel wed in March 2018. The Instagram model made headlines recently after she denied she cheated during a half-marathon following reports that she may not have run the full race. She used social media to address rumors of the split after responding to a fan’s comment on Instagram, People reported.
“Vows were broken,” Tiesi told a commenter.
