Quoting reports from PEOPLE, TMZ and USA TODAY, Hindustan Times states that the couple has broken up after being together for years. The reports of their relationship had emerged around three years ago as they were working together on Jon M Chu’s musical fantasy directorial.

HT quoted a Page Six source mentioning that the estranged couple had broken up for “several months,” but have “remained friends.” The source added, “They have nothing but respect and admiration for one another.
