Singer and actress Amber Riley has reportedly called it quits with her former fiancé, DeSean Black.

As reported by BET News, the ‘Single Black Female’ star spoke with ‘Nice & Neat’ podcast hosts and was asked about her relationship status.


“I am a single Black female,” she revealed. “I am, but I’m not a crazy one like in the movie.”

“I’m recently single,” she added, noting that their breakup was amicable. “I wish him the best. I don’t have anything horrible or bad to say.”

Riley became engaged to Black in 2020. According to Essence, Riley posted a now deleted photo with the caption, “There was a time when I thought I didn’t want or deserve this kind of love,” she wrote. “I’m looking at a man who changed my mind. My time by myself, loving on myself, getting comfortable with myself, prepared me for you, and prepared me for this. I am so proud to say, I am the future Mrs. Black.”

Black felt similarly, he reposted and captioned the same photo by saying, “Fellas, when a woman looks at you like this, it’s a clear indication that you’re doing the right thing,” he wrote. “Now, when she delivers unconditional love that you’ve never experienced, it’s another clear indication that you’ve found the one. Only a fool would let someone as special as this slip away. So I did what any wise man would do and put a ring on it.”

Details about what happened or who initiated the breakup have not been given.
