It looks like Kim Kardashian isn’t the only one bidding farewell to her man this week. Vivica A. Fox’s wedding plans have come to an abrupt halt after she and her ex-fiance Omar “Slim” White called off their 10-month engagement.

White told TooFab.com that it was his decision to walk away from the relationship, suggesting that there may have been too much drama going on between the two.

“She’s a good woman. It’s just one of those situations where in life people outgrow each other,” said the 28-year-old Atlanta club promoter. “One thing I hate is negativity and drama, I hate arguing, and I value communication no matter what the problem may be. So as in any relationship, tension can build up and I finally had to walk away.” Ouch.

Despite Fox being 19 years his senior, White was adamant that their age difference didn’t contribute to the breakup.

“I was only in it for love and it just didn’t work out,” said White. “Even though she was older than me the age difference didn’t play a part.”

Fox, 47, hasn’t commented on the split yet, but she took to her Twitter page to say she was doing well and keeping busy on the set of her new film “So This is Christmas.”

“I’m fine! At work and being very productive! God has got me! As always! :-)” she wrote.

Would you have the courage to break off an engagement?
