Bella Thorne, Benjamin Mascolo Part Ways Following Engagement And Three-Year Romance
Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo have ended their one-year engagement. They have also called it quits after three years of dating.
Page Six reported that the Italian musician made the confirmation on Thursday. He posted a lengthy message before his fans and followers to inform them about the “new chapter” of his life.
On Instagram, Mascolo did not name his former fiancée in the post. But, he has nothing but good words about Thorne, even calling her “the most amazing human being.”
The 28-year-old singer did not dwell on the details of the split. Nevertheless, he talked about the “humbling experience” of being with the 24-year-old actress, adding that he has “learned to love” himself, “feel beautiful,” and “feel accepted” because of her.
In the end, Benjamin Mascolo stated that he wishes “only the best” for Bella Thorne. He consequently shared that he will “always be there for her,” before noting he loves her.
The post, which emerged on the platform late Thursday, has amassed more than 24,900 likes. Hundreds of netizens also shared their thoughts in the comment section, with many of them sending comfort and “heart” emojis.
People was the first to report Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo’s breakup earlier Thursday. A source confirmed the split, adding that the two celebrities also called off their one-year engagement.
It was claimed that the pair’s “conflicting schedules” were the bases of the split. As explained, it “led to a lot of time apart that eventually resulted in the breakup.”
Despite parting ways, though, Thorne and Mascolo reportedly ended things between them “amicably.”
No further comments have been heard from the “Blended” actress’s side yet since the reports’ emergence.
The two celebrities first met in spring 2019. Elite Daily reported that they first encountered each other in person at Coachella.
Although several photos of them together made headlines after the festival, it was not until two months later that they became official on Instagram.
In August 2019, Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo made their red carpet debut when they attended the Venice Film Festival. They continued to share some snaps and updates about their romance on social media in the months that followed.
Reports noted that the 24-year-old actress first teased an engagement in January 2021. But, the duo only made the announcement after two months, with the musician posting a picture of them with the sparkler.
Mascolo and Thorne co-starred in the romantic flick "Time Is Up." The material dropped in September, causing them to attend several red carpet events to promote the title.
