Weeks after saying he wanted to prove that he’s a “different person these days,” former NFL quarterbackJohnny Manzieloffered a public apology to his estranged wife on social media — then deleted it along with the rest of his Instagram posts.
On Saturday, Manziel, 26, wrote an emotional message to wife Bre Tiesi for her birthday, more than a month after heconfirmed their splitfollowing cheating accusations. The couple had beenmarried since March 2018 and began dating in late 2016.
“HBD B,” began Manziel’s post, according toYahoo Sports. “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,” he continued. “You deserve it all and then some. Love ya for life.”
But not long after posting the heartfelt apology, Manziel deleted all of his Instagram posts, and as of Tuesday morning, hisaccountshows no photographs outside of a profile picture. The only thing that remains is a link to his online shop.
Before the post was a deleted,a Twitter user took a screengrab of Manziel’s message, which initially included a picture of Tiesi intimately touching his face.
Manzielconfirmed his separation from Tiesijust days after he made his debut with the Alliance of American Football, a new professional sports league that folded a short time later, which left him without a job.
“This is all very, very personal and very sad,” Manziel toldTMZ Sportsin late March. “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. My hope is to put my head down and be allowed to focus on work and what is required of me on the football field.”
According to a source close to the couple, their troubles began when Tiesi went on vacation to Indonesia. When she returned, she erased all evidence of her marriage from her Instagram account.
“She went away, and when she got back, she thought he had been cheating,” the source previously toldPEOPLE. “She somehow found out, and she was irate. I don’t know how she found out, but she did.”

“All I want is an opportunity to come in and prove that, I believe, I’m a different person these days,” he told Patrick. “I believe that I’m willing to put in the work to get to where I want to be, and I’m not scared of that anymore.”
