While various rumors circulated about the reasons behind their split—including alleged infidelity and a paternity claim by a third party—Kajlich and Donovan publicly addressed their separation in a joint press release. They described their decision to part ways as amicable and emphasized their continued mutual respect and friendship.
In a 2012 interview, Donovan reflected on his life and marriage during that period, stating:
"For some reason, there was something inside me that was pulling me to get out of it. ... I became not a great man. ... [I told Bianca] 'I'm scared, trapped. I want to get away.' ... Then I suddenly realized I was like my dad. Up to that point, I had completely shut out my dad. ... That moment with Bianca was when I realized how he felt and I completely forgave him. ... The following year [2010], I played the best soccer of my life."
Kajlich has chosen not to speak publicly about the specific reasons for their divorce, maintaining her privacy on the matter.
