Black Hollywood Couple Nick Cannon, Selita Ebanks: On Second Thought, Let's Not Get Married!


Engagement Off Between The Victoria Secret Model and "Drumline" Actor

They're so done! Nick Cannon and Selita Ebanks have split, Ebanks's rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively. "Selita and Nick are taking a break to focus on their careers but still very much love each other and remain the best of friends," says her rep.

The breakup comes just five months after the "Wildin Out" brother made a proposal that lit up New York's Times Square – literally – as he asked Ebanks to marry him with the help of a jumbotron. By August, Cannon, 26, was hedging his bets when it came to nailing down wedding details, "We haven't really talked about a lot of that stuff. You've got to take it slow." As for Ebanks, 24, she said earlier in the summer that the pair had some fundamental differences between their ideal ceremony. "He's all about the bling and having a big wedding. Me? I'm all about the courthouse."

Another celebrity couple bites the dust folks. But they're young, so it's all good.
