Benjamin Mascolo and Bella Thorne break the engagement and break up: the letter

“Today I woke up alone”: with these words, in one of the Instagram stories, Bella Thorne talks about her daily life after breaking up with Benjiamin Mascolo. The two had been a steady couple for over three years and have been engaged for over one (he asked her the question in March 2021, during the filming of their film together, Time is up). They met in April 2019 on Lake Como and since then they seemed inseparable.

Meanwhile, a source close to the couple told ET that theThe singer and actress broke up because of the distance and the commitments that often keep them away.

In an Instagram post Benji posts a message poignant and romantic which reads like this: «A little over three years ago my paths crossed with the most wonderful person in the world. My life changed forever that day and I am deeply grateful for every single moment we have shared since then. Growing up with her by my side has been a truly uplifting experience. Thanks to her I learned the meaning of unconditional love, something that only my parents gave me as I was growing up and I would not be able to fully open up again and accept it in my adult life before meeting her. I remember one of the first things she said to me when we started dating, something so simple and profound that it resonated deep inside my soul and brain.

“You are so beautiful”.

“No, I’m not,” I replied.

“If you don’t take my compliments, it will never work between us.”

So I welcomed them, thinking that I was doing it for her, but what was for “her” actually happened for “us” and became crucial for “me” too: for the first time I began to believe I was worth something. Through his eyes I learned to love myself, to feel beautiful, accepted while accepting myself, with my infinite flaws and imperfections. I will never be able to put into words what it means to be saved by someone and it is something I know with all my heart that at some point in their journey every single creature experiences it. It is called salvation ».

Just two weeks ago the actress had launched a powerful message of self love to her followers, telling that she threw the scales after six weeks of almost daily workouts in the gym that made her lose half a kilo of fat mass to gain as much muscle.

Often the desire for physical change echoes the emotional one but it seems that Bella Thorne is making clarity in herself, at the same time inspiring her fans.
