“Things have been strained through the fall. Both of their schedules have been really tough,” the source said. “Tayshia has been very busy and Zac also has a lot on his plate. Scheduling time together was just very difficult.”
But Adams is also “way more comfortable in the spotlight because of her job and he’s much less so,” the source said.
“At the end of the day, they’re very different people,” the source added. “They’re both good people — she’s amazing and he’s a great guy and very passionate about his work. But they’re a total mismatch.”
