«This is Us» star Chrissy Metz and her friend of more than three years, Bradley Collins, calling it quits.
The two made the announcement on Oct. 6 in a joint Instagram post:
«After 3 and a half years together, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship amicably. While we continue to love each other very much, we believe this is the best path for both of us,» the post reads. «They have received books to listen to, songs to sing and a special friendship to keep us in other lives forever.»
Ther announcement seems to reference their co-authored children’s book that came out earlier this year titled «When I Talk To God, I Talk About You,» which teaches kids about the power of prayer.
Collins — a songwriter — and Metz lasted the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on dating app, Metz has previously said.
In the TODAY interview in January 2021 when they want to see her go, she had this response:
«On Bumble, let’s be honest,» she said.
«I don’t endorse the company. However, it does work,” she joked.
Metz went on to say that it had been «very unexpected» and «funny» they met online because they have so many mutual friends.
«All the colleagues are there and everyone is in all the apartments until, but they are not connected, although they are interesting,» he said. «We really got to know each other because you can’t get to smooching too soon when you’re social-distance dating.»
The two went Instagram official with their relationship in October 2020.
In May of this year, Metz celebrated his then-beau with anniversary post.
«Three whole years, Babe, and through a pandemic and all! Look at us just loving each other and creating together. Growing and learning from one another. she captioned it.
Collins similarly shared an anniversary post, writing that «Time together has been as loving as it has flown by.»
