In a series of videos posted to her Instagram page before Birkan's announcement, Laura told fans she had zero regrets about going abroad for love.

"Maybe it works. Maybe it doesn’t.But I’d rather be the one living the story than the one sitting in the comments trying to predict the ending," she captioned the post.

She went on to add, "So if I'm wrong, I'll be wrong, but I had an amazing time in being wrong... and you got to watch while I got to go live it."

Rumors have also circulated online claiming Birkan may have joined his country’s military, although he has not publicly confirmed the speculation himself.

But if we know anything about Laura, she will be quick to move on, as she has already "soft launched" her new pickleball partner after her friendship with Michal came to an end.
