Blac Chyna Ends Engagement Seven Months After Public Proposal

Blac Chyna pulled the plug on her engagement to Derrick Milano less than a year after the Grammy-winning songwriter dropped to one knee in front of a crowd at Howard University’s Yard Fest.

The former couple shared identical statements Tuesday (May 14) on Instagram, confirming their split and citing spiritual clarity as the reason behind the decision.

“After much prayer and reflection, Derrick and I have decided to call off the engagement,” the post began. “We love each other deeply and are good friends, but we both believe that God’s guidance has shown us that this is the right path for both of us, as we each continue our journeys. May we find peace and fulfillment in His divine will, trusting that His plan is greater than our own.”

The breakup comes seven months after Milano’s very public proposal on October 18, 2024, where he serenaded Chyna with Mario’s “Let Me Love You” before presenting her with a ring in front of thousands.

The pair began dating in May 2023 and made their relationship Instagram official that September.

The engagement marked Chyna’s third—she was previously engaged to Tyga, with whom she shares a son, King Cairo, and Rob Kardashian, father of her daughter Dream.

The proposal also followed a legal cloud. In September 2024, Chyna’s ex-boyfriend, Twin Hector, filed a lawsuit accusing her of physical and verbal abuse over a three-year relationship, including an alleged violent incident in 2021. He claimed the trauma left him with PTSD and insomnia.
