“The love that I have received from you all over the last 6 years has been absolutely surreal,” he wrote alongside a series of photos. “You have tuned in and been dedicated fans and together we were able to share the healing powers of design.

Despite his decision to leave the show, Berk has no hard feelings toward his costars, according to a source close to the situation
The source confirmed that Berk “has a handful of projects in development and is also busy with his own company.”
Berk cleared up rumors swirling about his relationship with his co-stars himself in aVanity Fairinterview earlier this month.
During the conversation, he opened up about an alleged feud with his cast mateTan France.
“I hope this interview will help extinguish some of the speculation,” Berk said. “I want people to know that Tan and I — we will be fine.” While he did shed light on a “situation,” he said the two have moved past the issue.

“Tan and I had a moment. There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewing — and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.”
“Should I have unfollowed Tan? No,” Berk continued. “Maybe I should have just muted him. But that day, I was angry, and that’s the end of it. We became like siblings — and siblings are always going to fight.”
Of his choice to not sign on for additional seasons like his castmates, he said, “There were definitely emotions. But each one of us had our reasons why we did what we did,” he said. “I can’t be mad — for a second I was.”
