She added, “I mean, it goes beyond anything. He’s just my person. He’s my best friend.” After dating for three years, the two got engaged in 2016. However, they called off nearly three years of engagement in January 2019. Sources claimed that they were taking “a step back” from their relationship.

“They have taken a step back from their engagement for the time being, but they remain close,” the source revealed as per People. While the statement seemed to suggest that they were just taking a break, the two never got back together.
