‘General Hospital’ Real-Life Couple Kristen Alderson and Chad Duell Are Over

Following a cryptic tweet that sparked rumors, Kristen Alderson has confirmed that she and Chad Duell have called it quits after two years of dating.

The real-life "General Hospital" couple apparently have separated for quite a while now. Late the other week, Alderson, who played Kiki Jerome in the daytime soap, posted on Twitter, "Goodbye LA & to a beautiful chapter in my life. I'll always love you @duelly87 thank you for being my best friend."'

Her tweet sparked rumors that she and Chad, who plays Michael Corinthos in GH, have broken up. Fans have actually started speculating about it when the two stopped posting pictures together on Twitter and Instagram. According to The Inquisitr, Kristen left the show, saying that it is about time to try new things and move on. But back then, there was no hint that things between her and her then boyfriend are going to change too.

On Oct. 28, the actress posted on Twitter, "Thank u all for the love. Chad and I are in a good place though. It wasn't an easy decision for us, but we've remained optimistic &friends." She wrote on another post, "We appreciate all of the support we got as a couple from you guys. Sorry we've remained quiet about it all, just needed time..."

Chad Duell, on one hand, has remained silent about the break-up until now, although he's been active on social media in the past days.

According to ABC Soaps In Depth, Kristen is relocating back to the East coast where she grew up. Celeb Dirty Laundry reported that the actress allegedly had difficulty getting acting jobs and was forced to take acting classes despite her experience. She reportedly regrets leaving "General Hospital" at times.

Alderson's decision to leave "General Hospital" after 17 years of being part of the soap was announced in January. She began her career in the daytime show when she was 6 years old.
