Blac Chyna and Derrick Milano Split: Why They Called Off Their Engagement
Here’s a little tea that just poured out: Blac Chyna and Derrick Milano have called off their engagement after two years of public highs and personal reflections. Not long ago, Milano surprised fans by popping the question onstage at Howard University’s Yardfest last October, ring in hand and a crowd of cheering students as witnesses. Nine months later, Chyna (née Angela White) took to her Instagram Stories on July 3 to share a joint statement: “After much prayer and reflection, Derrick and I have decided to call off the engagement. 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.”
Their romance went public in May 2023 when Chyna celebrated their first anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram tribute, calling their initial year together “pure magic and joy.” Despite the sparkle of her third engagement—after high-profile pairings with Tyga and Rob Kardashian—the 37-year-old reality star has shown a grounded approach to life, leaning on faith and communication. In a March chat with Access Hollywood, she emphasized that solid coparenting with exes Tyga and Rob boils down to “respect, boundaries, and communication,” focusing on their kids rather than on drama.
Chyna’s timeline with Milano had all the elements of a modern celebrity love story: surprise proposals in front of roaring crowds, public declarations of devotion, and a balancing act between motherhood and a budding music-industry romance. Milano, known for his songwriting credits and the hit “Seen Her,” seemed to fit Chyna’s narrative of faith-driven goals. Yet they ultimately agreed their journeys required separate paths, leaning on shared spiritual values to guide the split.
Amid the breakup news, Chyna continues to showcase her proudest moments as a mother. From Dream’s sparkly dance recital snaps—tutu and bouquet included—to playful Mother’s Day tributes alongside her kids and mom, Tokyo Toni, she’s all about capturing those mini victories. Whether it’s matching sunglasses with Dream under the sun or a selfie-worthy moment at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards with King Cairo, these snapshots remind fans where her heart truly lies.
Of course, calling it quits doesn’t erase the highlights. Fans can still look back on the Yardfest proposal that had everyone talking, or the sweet anniversary posts that painted a picture of mutual admiration. But for now, Chyna and Milano are stepping back to focus on personal growth, faith, and family—each freeing up space for whatever comes next. Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
