The love story has come to an end now.

American singer Mackenzie Ziegler and her longtime boyfriend Tacoda Dubbs recently appear to have parted ways.

On November 9, 2023, the official TikTok Room page shared a screenshot of a message from an insider, providing insights that indicated a possible breakup between Ziegler and Dubbs.

In the screenshot, the person revealed that the singer took down the anniversary post and went a step further by removing the picture she had of Dubbs from her phone case. 

Additionally, it was noted that both Ziegler and Dubbs deleted all their shared Instagram posts, hinting at a significant change in their relationship status.

Upon the revelation, a wave of emotions swept through the comment section. Expressing a mix of surprise and concern, one fan reflected, “Oh, now this is tea for me because I remember when they first started dating. What’s going on? What’s happening?” 

Likewise, another follower added a note of sorrow, stating, “This is so sad. They were together for over 3 years. Hope they are doing okay.” 

Moreover, following the news of Ziegler and Dubbs parting ways, the singer was spotted with Johnny Orlando, as reported by TMZ.

Despite the clear signs of a breakup evident in their online activities, Ziegler and her boyfriend, have not issued an official statement confirming the end of their relationship. 

Notably, they still follow each other on Instagram. Therefore, until the couple themselves confirm their breakup, the status of their relationship remains unverified.

Mackenzie Ziegler and Tacoda Dubbs’ relationship timeline 

Ziegler and Dubbs’s love story has a cute beginning. The singer’s sister, Maddie, found Dubbs on TikTok and thought he was cute, so she sent Ziegler a video of him, suggesting they should chat. 

Taking her sister’s advice, Ziegler messaged Dubbs, and their conversations quickly turned into regular FaceTime calls. Despite being physically apart, their connection grew stronger during these virtual dates. Eventually, they decided to meet in person and officially started their romantic journey around 2020.

In June 2021, Dubbs expressed his affection for Kenzie by posting a heartfelt birthday message on Instagram and captioned, “Happy birthday day, princess.” In response, the singer reciprocated the love by commenting, “I love u so much.” 

Likewise, the duo commemorated their 11-month anniversary in July 2021 with a heartwarming celebration showcased through a collection of romantic photos featuring tender kisses and heartfelt expressions of love.

Along with the post, the singer captioned, “Best 11 months w u.” Dubbs, for his part, didn’t add a caption on his Instagram but Ziegler left a romantic comment reading, “My baby, I love u.”

In 2022, she also offered a glimpse into her relationship with her boyfriend by sharing a captivating picture of them during a beach trip. The photo captured a tender moment, with Ziegler’s hands wrapped around Dubbs’ waist, illustrating their closeness and shared enjoyment of the beach outing. 

Moreover, their social media presence continued to radiate affection, featuring numerous displays of public displays of affection (PDA) and intimacy. Ziegler also found inspiration in her relationship with Tacoda, leading her to pen the heartfelt song “Happy for Me.” 

Opening up about her journey, the singer revealed that achieving true happiness and a healthy relationship took time. However, with Tacoda, she discovered a partner who embraces her for who she is, allowing her to find happiness within herself. 

Yet, Ziegler isn’t the sole admirer of her boyfriend; she disclosed that her boyfriend has garnered affection not only from her but also from friends, family, and fans alike. 

Initially, the singer expressed reservations about making her relationship public, fearing the potential scrutiny. However, she was pleasantly surprised by the overwhelmingly positive feedback she received from her millions of fans once she decided to share this aspect of her life.

Mackenzie Ziegler was previously in a relationship with Isaak Presley

Rumors of Ziegler and Presley’s romantic involvement first began circulating in August 2019, gaining traction as the duo started sharing joint content on various social media platforms. 

Several months later, the speculation took a more definitive turn when Isaak uploaded the “Girlfriend Tag” on YouTube. This video not only provided a closer look into their relationship but also served as a public confirmation of their romantic connection. 

After sharing a relationship for nearly a year, rumors surfaced in March 2020 suggesting that Isaak had been unfaithful to the singer. Ziegler swiftly addressed the speculation, staunchly refuting the cheating allegations with a firm statement, declaring, “All of these girls are trying to say Isaak cheated on me when he was with me every day.” 

However, despite her initial denial, the narrative took a turn in May 2020 when Ziegler, in an Instagram Live session, openly shared with her fans that she and Isaak had indeed decided to part ways.

She said, “I’ve been seeing a lot of comments asking if Isaak and I are together, just because right now we are not together. I had to act like we were OK because I didn’t want you guys to hate on him or anything. He didn’t do anything, I didn’t do anything, we’re just both not in a good mental state right now.”

The singer added, “We just decided to be friends right now. It’s super hard because I love him a lot. I hope it’ll get better and that we’re both going to be OK but we can’t be together right now.”

Likewise, Isaak took to YouTube to address the split and the infidelity allegations. Expressing nothing but love for Ziegler, he emphasized that he had not a single negative thing to say about their relationship. 

He urged viewers not to jump to conclusions, explaining that breakups often result from factors beyond personal animosity, such as timing or circumstances beyond control. Dismissing the cheating allegations, he stressed that outsiders only see a limited layer of reality and may not know the full story behind the situation.

The Bachelor’s Aly Jacobs Gets Engaged to Longtime Boyfriend

Congratulations to Alyssa Danielle Jacobs, also known as Aly Jacobs, who recently got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, whose identity is yet to be revealed.

The 28-year-old former contestant of The Bachelor revealed her engagement to her boyfriend in a romantic Instagram post on Monday, August 5, 2024. She shared a series of pictures alongside her future husband while flaunting her engagement ring.

In the first picture, she was seen sitting in her fiance’s lap, as her partner delivered a sweet kiss on her cheeks. Jacobs seemed to be donning a red outfit; however, it isn’t clear as she had covered herself with her fiance’s coat.

On the other hand, her mystery fiance wore a white shirt with a navy blue suit. The second picture showed the newly engaged couple passionately kissing each other on the lips, as Jacobs upheld her hand to flaunt her stunning diamond engagement ring.

Similarly, the third and last picture she added was a selfie her now-fiance took on their first date at Bones Restaurant in Atlanta. To accompany those memorable images, she wrote, “from first dates to forever, the easiest yes.”

Moments after she made the big engagement announcement, her Instagram post was filled with congratulatory messages from friends and well-wishers. For instance, one Instagram user and a friend of the couple wrote, “I knew it!! Congrats, Aly!! So happy for you two.”

“OMG!!! Yay Aly!! You deserve it all. So happy for you!” wrote another friend of the former Bachelor contestant, with one Instagram user following up with, “Congratulations!!! Such an incredible couple, so so happy for y’all!”

Likewise, one Instagram user commented, “Over the moon elated for you both!!! So happy you found your person, and above all, to see you receive the love you are so worthy and deserving of. Congratulations lovey!!!”

Jacobs and her boyfriend-turned-fiance officially began dating on February 3, 2023. However, the exact details of how they met as well as all the details about her future husband currently remains unknown, as the reality star prefers to keep them under the limelight.

That said, the first time she featured her then-boyfriend on her Instagram handle was on June 21, 2023. She shared a series of pictures with her partner from their vacation in Amelia Island and captioned it by writing, “keeping this one to myself.”

Since then, she has frequently featured her boyfriend on her social media handles. In December 2023, they spent Christmas together, and a couple of months later, on February 3, 2024, they marked their first dating anniversary.

Fast forward to August 2024, Jacobs and her partner have taken a big step in their relationship and gotten engaged. Once again, congratulations to the love birds!

Jenn Tran Responds to Hurtful Racist Message She Received over Instagram

Jenn Tran Responds to Hurtful Racist Message She Received over Instagram

Jenn Tran, the first Asian American Bachelorette, recently addressed a racist message she received, expressing her dismay and resilience. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of racism and the importance of standing against hate.

As The Bachelorette Season 21 – featuring Tran – continues to air weekly, Tran has been taking to her Instagram handle to bond with her fans, by asking them to send her which Taylor Swift song they believe applies to that week’s episode.

After going through all the suggestions, she picks one and officially names the one song as the “song of the week” after the episode airs. Some of Swift’s songs that have been picked during the past few weeks are ‘Sparks Fly,’ ‘Karma,’ ‘State of Grace,’ and ‘Jump Then Fall.’

On Monday, August 5, 2024, the fifth episode of The Bachelorette Season 21 aired, and as custom, Tran took to her Instagram story to ask her fans which Taylor Swift song applies to this week’s episode. However, one particular response wasn’t what Tran was expecting.

It’s because that response was targeted toward Tran’s ethnicity. This hateful and racist response targeted the reality star’s Asian roots, mentioning the shape of her eyes and her ability to “see” if they are “barely open.”

Tran immediately decided to shut down this racist message and clapped back via her Instagram story. First, she wrote, “First of all, not on Taylor Swift song day!!! How rude!” She then followed up with, “Second of all, if you’re gonna make a racist comment to hurt me, you’ll have to try a little harder than with something I’ve been hearing since I was a kid.”

Despite the hurtful message, she remains focused on her journey as the Bachelorette. She continues to approach her role with positivity and determination, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity.

As the first Asian American Bachelorette, Tran has faced unique pressures and responsibilities. In an earlier interview with Bachelor Nation, she discussed the significance of her role, expressing her desire to be a positive role model.

In the interview, she shared her thoughts on the pressures of being the first Asian American Bachelorette. She acknowledged the weight of expectations but emphasized her commitment to staying true to herself and her story. Jenn expressed gratitude for the opportunity to represent her ethnicity and inspire others.

She stated, “Of course I feel pressure. A lot of it actually comes from me wanting to be a good role model and do it ‘right,’ whatever that means. At the end of the day, I tell myself that it’s just about being myself and telling my story the best that I can.”

Her journey as the Bachelorette is not only about finding love but also about breaking barriers and promoting inclusivity. Her grace and strength continue to inspire many, and her stance against racism sets a powerful example for her audience and beyond.

Shanae Ankney and Future Husband Nate Ebner Celebrate Second Anniversary

Shanae Ankney is relishing all the days before she officially becomes a wife to her boyfriend-turned-fiance Nate Ebner.

One such day was Ankney and Ebner’s second dating anniversary. On Tuesday, July 30, 2024, the Bachelor in Paradise alum took to her Instagram handle to mark the special occasion.

She posted a PDA-filled picture of herself and her partner, where they were sweetly kissing each other. The image was taken on the sidewalk, in front of what seems to be a small restaurant or a diner.

It means that the love birds went to get some alone time and celebrate their special milestone. Alongside the picture, she wrote a sweet caption, reading, “Love is spelled T-I-M-E. Happy two years my love. I can’t wait to share your last name.”

Some moments later, friends and well-wishers took to the comment section to pour congratulatory messages. One Instagram user wrote, “You were our favorite ever from the bachelor franchise, sooo happy to see you found your happily ever after!!!”

“So happy for y’all. May God bless you and your little family,” wrote another Instagram user. Similarly, a friend of the engaged duo commented, “Yay!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it!!”

Likewise, one doubter, who didn’t believe Ankney and Ebner’s relationship would last this long, took to the comment section and wrote, “I can’t believe it lasted this long. I was wrong. I thought he would leave within 3 months.”

Well, while there might have been some doubts about Ankney and her boyfriend’s relationship during its initial phase, those doubts went away as their bond strengthened. One of the main reasons behind their relationship’s strength was when they welcomed a baby.

Speaking from the start, the 32-year-old Ankney – whose birth name is Shanae Irene Ankney – officially began dating Ebner on July 30, 2022. However, she initially kept their relationship a secret and also didn’t feature him on her socials.

On November 11, 2022, she soft-launched her relationship with the former NFL player. She had posted the same picture as the one in her second dating anniversary post, except only Ebner’s arm was visible in the 2022 Instagram post.

On April 10, 2023, she officially hard-launched their relationship via Instagram. Less than a year later, on October 23, 2023, Ankney took to her Instagram handle to announce that she was pregnant with a baby girl and her due date was April 2024.

On April 11, 2024, she gave birth to an adorable daughter, whom the couple named Maven Jane. She publicly announced the good news on April 15, captioning her post, “Maven Jane 🤍 4•11•2024 🤍 you were worth the wait my sweet girl.”

A month after welcoming their baby girl, the boyfriend-girlfriend duo got engaged. On May 16, 2024, The Bachelor alum revealed that Ebner went down on his knee and proposed to her, to which she gladly accepted.

She shared a picture of her holding her baby girl, while flaunting her engagement ring, and wrote, “I can’t wait to do it all with you Nate, you make me the happiest girl alive. Here’s to FOREVER. I love you!”

As mentioned earlier, Ankney and her partner have been together for a little over two years. In the time they have spent together, they have welcomed a baby and gotten engaged. And the wedding bells might also be ringing soon. We wish the couple nothing but the best!
