Minecraft Realms stopped working when the new nether update released today

Multiple of my friends and I have experienced today when the new nether update released and we tried to get on our realm that an error occurs. It tells us that there is either an error or the realms screen will pop up but remain blank for a couple of minutes before it kicks us from the game. We all have stable internet connection so it's not just not loading, I think there may be a bug.
