Adrienne Bailon is a single lady. The former "Cheetah Girls" star announced that she called off her engagement to her longtime boyfriend, music executive Lenny Santiago, during a taping of her daytime talk show "The Real," E! News reported.
The host took the time to address a question that her fans have been asking her on Instagram and her various social media pages. Fans have been asking Bailon if she's still engaged because she hasn't been photographed with her ring in quite some time.
"Through this summer I went on my little 'Eat, Pray, Love' journey and it was my time for me to come to terms with my own truth and my honesty," she told the audience, "and I am not engaged anymore."
Bailon, 31, began her relationship with Santiago, 44, after her much-publicized relationship with Rob Kardashian ended, Us Weekly reported. Bailon and Kardashian dated from 2007-2009 and she was with Santiago for six years.
Bailon had announced her engagement to the Roc Nation executive in February of this year.
"I am, of course, sad that things didn't go as we planned, but we still remain close friends," she told Us Weekly. "Six years is a long time to be together, but we had to make the decision to go with our hearts and not be embarrassed or afraid of change. He absolutely helped make me a better person and I will forever cherish the time we shared together."
She echoed that sentiment on her talk show and cited her friends and co-hosts on "The Real" (Jeannie Mai, Loni Love, Tamar Braxton and Tamera Mowry) as her support system through this difficult time.
"I'm just so grateful that I have girls that love me and support me," Bailon said, "and we're gonna be okay."
