Kevin Kreider and Devon Diep, the stars of Bling Empire, have called it quits after their longtime, on-and-off relationship.
The couple, who have been romantically linked for approximately 15 years, had just gotten engaged five months earlier before they called it quits.
Kreider, 42, and Diep announced their separation in a joint statement obtained by People on Thursday.
The pair said it was 'not an easy decision,' but they ultimately decided to 'move forward on separate paths' and maintain a relationship as just friends.
The statement, which appeared to be penned by Kreider, read: 'After much thought and reflection, Devon and I have decided to end our engagement and move forward on separate paths.
'This was not an easy decision. We care deeply for one another and will always support each other. We are grateful for the time we shared, but at this point in our lives we believe we are better suited as friends.'

The statement concluded: 'We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this next chapter.'
Kreider previously popped the question to Diep during a romantic couple's trip in Rome in late September last year.
He also lamented about not being able to purchase a property and having to choose between renting a 'nicer one-bedroom [apartment] and not have a car' or 'downgrading' to a 'studio.'
