Just over a year after announcing their engagement, Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo announced that they have broken up.
They started dating in April 2019, just days after the OnlyFans star announced her split from Mod Sun, with whom she and YouTuber Tana Mongeau had been in an open relationship.

A source close to the 24-year-old actress/singer and the 28-year-old Italian singer told People their busy schedules were keeping them apart.
“Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo have parted ways, calling off their engagement of over a year,” a source shared with the magazine.
“Their conflicting schedules led to a lot of time apart that eventually resulted in the breakup, but the two have parted ways amicably.”
She commented on their breakup through her Instagram Stories on June 2, 2022. “I broke up with Ben for my own reasons.” Refusing to answer additional questions, she added the split is “a personal matter.”

In a long message that he later deleted, Benjamin also addressed the split on Instagram.
“To fall in love is the most beautiful gift we can experience in life, and our story is one of the many that ends every day, leaving space to new beautiful unions and promises between people,” Benjamin wrote.
“Relationships are born and die, just like people, it’s the natural cycle of life and I fully accept it.”

“This by no means a failure on either side, because no real connection is ‘wasted’ or ‘useless’, as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ are just a personal agenda the human mind labels on things, people and feelings, based upon our ego and identity, and not the word of God. It was meant to be, and it was beautiful,” he added.
“I wish only the best to this person and will always be there for her. I love you, Ben.”

In 2013, the then-15-year-old Disney star was busy making appearances at big Hollywood events while impressing everyone with her style.
In early September, the “Shake It Up!” actress attended the Tadashi Shoji show in a sheer crop top paired with a knee-length patterned skirt and strappy platform sandals.
She curled her red hair and swiped on a bit of bright red lipstick.

Three days later, Bella was spotted taking a complete 180 at the Diane von Furstenberg show.

The movie actress rocked a striking bright red jumpsuit that featured purple panels down the front and keyhole detail.
She matched her jumpsuit to her pair of strappy maroon heels… and her pedicure.

Given the nature of Bella’s outing, we’re guessing that they’re from Diane von Furstenberg, but we’re not really sure. Any ideas?
We were, however, able to find the nude platform sandals that Bella paired with her Tadashi Shoji ensemble.
These 6-inch Ruthie Davis “Hudson” sandals feature nude leather straps, crisscross buckled ankle straps, and mint green soles on the 2-inch platforms.
