Chad Duell set the record straight about what happened between him and his now-estranged partner Courtney Hope during an episode of Maurice Benard's YouTube series "State of Mind." (Bernard plays Sonny Corinthos on "General Hospital," the father of Duell's character, Michael Corinthos.)
Explaining that he will always love Hope and that he still talks to her, Duell explained the situation between them to Bernard. "Out of respect to her, I'm not going to delve too much into all thus stuff. All I'd say is she's an amazing person, she's an amazing woman, she's an amazing dog mom," he said (via Soap Opera Digest). "It's a complicated situation and it's not what anybody thinks. I'm not going to get into detail, but it's not what people think," Duell said, adding that nothing "terrible" happened.
Shockingly, Duell also revealed weren't he and Hope weren't technically married to begin with. "We didn't actually sign anything; we weren't really, like, married, really," he divulged. Fans were certainly surprised to hear that; one person tweeted, "I'm starting to conspiracy theorize," while another shared, "I mean, it's not my business but Chad and Courtney's huge Halloween wedding wasn't official because they didn't sign anything? That's... interesting."
Ultimately, the actor said their split "was amicable ... and we always want the best for each other." Amicable as it may be, there certainly seems like enough drama with their marital status for daytime TV.
