37-year-old Queer Eye star Karamo Brown confirmed the news that he and his fiancé Ian Jordan have split on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Brown revealed that the couple had an amicable split over the summer after initially postponing their wedding.
Karamo said, “It’s actually postponed officially…my fiancé and I, we were together for 10 years, we broke up about three and a half months ago. It’s one of those things…we were distracted by so much – with the kids, and our careers – that during that time, I had to really say ‘How is our communication? How is other parts of our lives? Are we growing in the same place?' We’re not 20 anymore, so wasn’t just like ‘Oh, I’m not gonna text you anymore.' We have a family and home. How do we separate this?”
“We went to virtual counseling. We did a lot of things. But eventually I was like, this is a moment where I need to decide ‘Is my happiness important?'”
“Once I made that decision. I said, we’re going to have to break up. There was luckily no cheating, we’re good friends. It’s very nice…but yeah, no more wedding.”
Brown is father to sons Jason, 23, and Chris, 20. The former Real World star learned he was a dad when he received a subpoena for child support when Jason was 10 from his high school girlfriend, whom he had dated before coming out as gay at 16. Brown immediately took full custody of his son and then adopted Jason's brother, Chris.
Much luck in moving forward Karamo. Now he has some extra justification for posting those thirst trap pics and videos!
