"We broke up two weeks ago. Even though you will see us as a couple for the rest of the season on Don't Be Tardy, we are no longer together. He's not the man I thought he was and, as a result, my entire family and myself are disappointed. ... I'm young and have my whole future ahead of me and look forward to everything I can accomplish on my own."

--Brielle Zolciak-Biermann on her breakup with Slade Osborne and boy -- with all of her recent talk about being a young mom and everything, we're pretty pleased that it seeems like young Brielle has woken up and realized that she doesn't need to settle down and do what her mom did at 17, 18 years old.

   Maybe Brielle stands a good chance of breaking the cycle, huh?
