Nev Schulman, Max Joseph and their bromance has basically made MTV's Catfish what it is.

So when Max announced on Twitter that he's decided to put the show behind him, fans were left devastated.

"Hey guys, the time has come, sadly, for me to move on from Catfish," he shared with his Twitter followers on Wednesday night (August 8).

"Working on this show for the last seven years has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I've learned a lot about myself, my country and human nature in general."

Of course, he couldn't depart without a special shoutout to his co-host, adding: "Nev and I have become brothers and our bromance has blossomed before your eyes."

Explaining the reason behind his shock decision, he added: "For a while now I have been straddling two careers as TV host and filmmaker and, while this level of busy-ness is a dream come true, my life can no longer sustain it.

"With Catfish still going strong after 7 seasons, 115 episodes, 31 specials and showing no sign of slowing down, I feel it is finally the time for me to make my exit."

He finished by saying that he had a "heavy heart" but was "excited for everything that's to come". He also thanked fans for tuning in over the years, and for all the "love", the "memories", and the "memes".

"It really was a f****** blast and I am eternally grateful for every second of it," he said.
