On July 31, 2018, Jacob Sartorius and Millie Bobby Brown announced they'd called it quits via their Instagram stories, as reported by Billboard. Because, apparently, that's what the kids are doing these days. In matching statements, the exes promised fans it wasn't a messy break-up. Brown wrote, "The decision with Jacob and I was completely mutual. We are both happy and remaining friends" (via People).
So either they are the two most mature teenagers the world has ever known or there was more to their break-up than meets the eye. In fact, Sartorius' alleged wandering eye could have played a part in their demise. The couple hit a rough patch about halfway through their relationship when the Vine star was accused of pressuring fans to send him nudes, according to Refinery29 – something his reps have since formally denied. There were also reports that Sartorius asked for nudes from a girl who was on the set of one of his music videos, Morgan Cryer — shady stuff. According to Girlfriend, amidst the cheating rumors, Brown did a sweep of her Instagram — removing any and all traces of the singer from her account, though the two stars later appeared to reconcile. Still, it doesn't seem like Brown's trust for Sartorius ever fully returned, seeing as the breakup came just three months later.
Unfortunately, it makes sense that their relationship is over, as we never really thought it was going to last long in the first place.
