Sami Clarke and JT Barnett Split Less Than a Year After Wedding
The wellness world’s favorite couple, known for their calm chemistry and fitness empire, call it quits just months before their first anniversary.
Los Angeles, October 6 EST: Fitness influencer Sami Clarke and former pro hockey player JT Barnett have officially split less than a year after their 2024 wedding. The couple, known for turning their relationship into a wellness-era brand, confirmed the news over the weekend through emotional social media posts.
A Sudden Shift For The “It” Couple Of Wellness
For much of the past year, Clarke and Barnett were everywhere. She built Form, a booming workout and lifestyle platform. He co-hosted podcasts and shared creator advice rooted in mindfulness. Together, they looked like the modern blueprint for balance fit, communicative, and effortlessly synced.
That’s why their breakup surprised fans. Clarke was the first to speak, posting to her Instagram Stories on October 5 that her “life is shifting” and she’s “moving into a new chapter apart from JT.” It was short, gentle, and clear.
Barnett followed up with his own note. He explained that Clarke had made the decision to leave, but stressed that there were “no relational issues and no drifting apart.” He said the situation was “really sad,” but that he still loved and respected her.
No Drama, Just Honesty
There were no cryptic posts, no public tension just two people closing a chapter with kindness. According to People, Barnett’s message reflected the same emotional awareness that made the couple popular in the first place. Fans praised both of them for handling the split with maturity.
For followers used to messy celebrity breakups, this one felt refreshingly calm. Clarke and Barnett didn’t unfollow each other, delete photos, or issue statements through reps. They just spoke directly, in their own voices.
Why Fans Feel This One
The pair’s relationship was a kind of modern love story that made sense in the age of self-improvement. Their shared content morning routines, fitness videos, and podcast clips made them look like two people building something bigger than themselves.
Their breakup, though, highlights something deeper about digital-era relationships. Even when a couple seems “aligned,” life still shifts. People grow. And sometimes, even love built on self-awareness can’t outlast change.
Fans online responded with warmth instead of gossip. Many wrote that they admired the way Clarke and Barnett showed “what healthy endings look like.” Others said their transparency helped normalize moving on with compassion.
Life After Love And Content
Both seem ready to keep going. Clarke continues to expand Form, which has become a major player in the online fitness space. Barnett remains active as a creator coach, focusing on mental performance and digital storytelling.
Still, there’s an undeniable sadness to this split. Clarke and Barnett weren’t just another influencer couple they represented a softer, more grounded version of love in public view. They showed that connection could be kind, structured, and still full of heart.
Now, as they step into separate paths, fans are watching with the same care they once gave their joint workouts and videos. Clarke’s phrase, “my life is shifting” feels like the right note to end on. It’s not a breakup line; it’s a growth line.
Sometimes, love stories don’t crash they just evolve. And in this case, evolution looks a lot like grace.
