Former Playboy model and "Celebrity Big Brother" star Shanna Moakler had a positive pregnancy test result, she told People in a statement on Thursday. Her news comes about a week after her ex-partner, Matthew Rondeau, was arrested on charges of felony domestic violence, People reported.

"I took a pregnancy test and it is positive," Moakler said in her statement to People magazine. "This has been a very difficult week, but I'm taking everything day by day."

According to People, Rondeau was arrested on February 24. The day before, Rondeau had posted a video to social media accusing Moakler of cheating on him and said she spent the night at a neighbor's house.

In Rondeau's video, captured by TMZ, Rondeau said his relationship with Moakler was over and he was "never talking to this fucking specimen of a fucking human again."

A representative for Moakler declined to comment when reached by Insider. Rondeau didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment via Instagram DM.

TMZ reported on February 24 that law enforcement sources told the publication Moakler left the house she shared with Rondeau on Wednesday night, but when she returned on Thursday morning, a fight between the two continued and escalated to physical violence.

A spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed to Insider that Rondeau was arrested on felony domestic violence charges on Thursday. Rondeau has since been released and said via his Instagram story on Tuesday that he had been let go by his agents due to people "who called and harassed" them. He also said in the same Instagram story that he is not guilty.

Moakler shared a statement with People the same day as Rondeau's arrest. "I wanted to let everybody know that I'm okay and thank you for your love and support," the statement read. "I'm surrounded by my family and friends."

The model currently has three children. She shares 22-year-old Atiana De La Hoya with Oscar De La Hoya, and teenagers Landon and Alabama Barker with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

She spent much of the month of February sequestered from the outside world as a houseguest competing on "Celebrity Big Brother" season three. Moakler was one of 11 famous contestants playing a game of manipulation in the hopes of winning a $250,000 cash prize. She was eliminated and left the house on February 14, at which point she reunited with Rondeau.
