Another fan favorite relationship has come to an end. Political activist and commentator Angela Rye and Common have called it quits. 

The news was confirmed via Page Six TV. The CNN correspondent and the Oscar-winning rapper has split but are dedicated to remaining great friends.  

“We have and will always be friends,” Rye told Page Six TV. “He is an amazing human being, and I’m a much better person because he’s a part of my life. May we all keep loving and living.”

The couple began dating in the summer of 2017. 

In October, the rapper confirmed that there were sparks between them and seemingly confirmed the status of their relationship.

“There’s a definite connection with Angela Rye,” the 45-year-old told Bevy Smith on her SiriusXM radio show,”Bevelations,”. “She’s a wonderful woman, I’m dating, I’m happy right now, and she’s an incredible human being.”

While we’re sad to see this relationship come to an end, we are wishing these two nothing but the best and thrilled to hear they’ve chosen to remain friends.
