Earlier this summer, Elle Varner went public about her relationship with New York Knicks player Iman Shumpert. With her announcement came the well wishes of many fans, happy to see the R&B starlet find romance.
Now just a bit over two months after the revelation, it seems the rendezvous is over. Yesterday (Sept. 12), Elle went on Twitter to announce her new relationship status: “I’m single … please don’t ask me a million questions, I won’t answer any of them. No drama here just peace and love,” she tweeted.
Elle revealed to HipHollywood after the announcement that she and Shumpert have been dating for a while, and was excited to finally have it in the open so she wouldn’t have to hide anymore. But shortly after that, Varner expressed some regrets to Vibe Vixen about making her relationship public: “Making a relationship public draws a lot of scrutiny. It makes you think about something you were never thinking about before so I don’t know if I would advocate public relations to folks but hey, it is what it is. We’re good.”
Could having gone public put a strain on their relationship? Whatever the case, we’re sure Elle will recuperate and they’ll remain friends!
You may have heard the news already, but it’s official: Elle Varner and Iman Shumpert have called it quits. The R&B singer and NBA player had been dating for several years, even getting engaged back in 2016. However, rumors of trouble in paradise started swirling earlier this year when fans noticed that the couple had unfollowed each other on social media.
Now, sources close to the couple have confirmed that they have indeed split up. It’s always tough when a celebrity couple breaks up, especially one as seemingly strong as Elle and Iman. But sometimes relationships just don’t work out, no matter how much you want them to.
So let’s take a look back at their relationship and see what might have led to this unfortunate ending, and also explore what lies ahead for both of them as they move forward separately.
A Look Back at Elle Varner and Iman Shumpert’s Relationship
Hey, let’s take a trip down memory lane and check out Elle Varner and Iman Shumpert’s relationship history!
The two started dating in 2013 after meeting at a party, and things seemed to be going well for the couple. They even collaborated on a song together called ‘Loving You Blind.’
Throughout their relationship, they were pretty private about their personal lives. However, they did share some cute moments on social media, like when Iman surprised Elle with a horse-drawn carriage ride for her birthday. Despite being in the public eye, they managed to keep things relatively drama-free.
Unfortunately, it seems that their love story has come to an end. Elle recently announced on Instagram that she and Iman have decided to call it quits. Although it’s sad news for fans of the couple, we wish them both the best as they move forward separately.
Moving Forward: Life After the Breakup
After the breakup, life may seem uncertain and lonely at first, but eventually new opportunities and experiences will arise. Take this time to focus on yourself and your own personal growth. Explore new hobbies or interests, reconnect with old friends, or take a solo trip to a place you’ve always wanted to visit. Use this time as an opportunity for self-discovery and reflection.
It’s important not to rush into another relationship too quickly after a breakup. Give yourself time to heal and process your emotions before pursuing someone else. Take the lessons learned from your previous relationship and use them to make better choices in the future.
Remember that every ending is also a new beginning. Surround yourself with positivity and support during this time of transition. Lean on friends and family who care about you, seek out therapy or counseling if needed, and stay open-minded about what the future holds.
While it may be difficult in the moment, trust that everything happens for a reason and that ultimately you’ll come out stronger on the other side of this experience.
Conclusion
Well, it’s official. Elle Varner and Iman Shumpert have called it quits.
Despite their once happy relationship and numerous public displays of affection, the two have decided to go their separate ways.
But now it’s time for both parties to focus on moving forward. For Varner, that means continuing to make music and following her passion. And for Shumpert, it means focusing on his basketball career and being the best father he can be to his daughter with wife Teyana Taylor.
Although this breakup may be tough for both of them, they’ll undoubtedly come out stronger in the end.
