“Mean Girls” and “Looking” star Daniel Franzese has called off his engagement to Joseph Bradley Phillips.
“Sometimes shooting stars shine so brightly that they burn out and now we must go separate ways but I hope my path always crosses with his,” Franzese told Entertainment Tonight in a statement. “Joseph Bradley Phillips and I have decided to part ways, break our engagement promise and continue on into the future as friends.”
“We cared so much for each other that we ignored things that were important to our individual personal growth. We have taken some time to heal before letting everyone know and I’m grateful to all my friends and family who have shown us support during this time. I’m excited to see what Joseph will offer the world and I can’t wait to get back on tour and make people laugh,” he added.
He also posted part of the statement on Instagram.
Franzese proposed to Phillips in 2016 at the same Starbucks in Hollywood where they first met.
“Joseph has given me the best of his heart and I’m so happy he said yes,” Franzese told E! News about Phillips at the time. “Finding my soul mate has made all the years I struggled with myself worth it.”
