Bonilla sought to return to France after breaking, but Gobert wants her and their child to stay in the United States in the hope of finding an amicable co-parenting situation once the Minnesota season ends, TMZ Sports reported.
Bonilla and Gobert have both published statements while the rupture report fell.
“I cross one of the most painful moments of my life, feeling isolated, far from my family and my friends,” Bonilla wrote on her Instagram stories before deleting her account. “I considered Rudy the love of my life. I left everything for him. I gave him a child and I shed my heart into our relationship.
“When everyone criticized and insulted him, I stood next to him, still putting him first and choosing him, always. Despite the way I have been treated, I choose to protect her name for the good of my children. I have never been unfaithful to the father of my children.

“I am a mom and I have to prioritize my health and my well-being. Thank you for respecting my private life during this difficult period.”
Gobert responded to what he called “inaccurate information”.
“Julia and I are currently in the painful process of redefinition of our relationship of co-parenting,” he wrote on Instagram. “Being a father is one of the deepest and most significant experiences that I will live. This is one of my most important life goals and that I will be forever.
“I am fully determined to continue to support the well-being of all the people who are close to my heart. I ask everyone not to abstain to speculate and to respect our private life in these difficult times.”
