Former Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams broke off her engagement with her Christian pastor boyfriend who openly supported Donald J. Trump.
Fox News reports that the former singer had tried to reconcile the relationship through counseling.
The problem was that politics and the demands which drove them to split up.
Williams has broken off her engagement to fiancé pastor Chad Johnson after 8 months.
The entertainer went on Instagram Friday morning to announce the split in a since-deleted Instagram Story post.
"I still remain fearless," she wrote on the same day she released her newest single, "Fearless."
"I guess I still remain single! Things didn't work out. The healing that needs to take place is a must! I don’t wanna destroy another relationship. Blessings to him, his family and ministry. #FEARLESS"
In late October, while promoting the Oprah Winfrey Network reality show "Chad Loves Michelle," Williams, 38, told reporters she and Johnson were "astounded" to share their pre-marriage journey with the world, and that counseling helped them connect better as a couple.
"I had to learn how to communicate all over again. I've been on my own over 20 years – you don't have to tell me what to do. This is my house; you know? And, it's like – now all those things are going to change. How do you communicate that? How do you communicate your fears and concerns in those areas?"
Williams and Johnson, 40, met in March 2017 in Arizona during a spiritual retreat organized by Johnson, who also serves as a life coach. In addition, he's worked as a chaplain for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Steelers among other professional sports teams.
According to Entertainment Tonight, this is the second time Williams has called off the pair's engagement since Johnson popped the question in March of this year.
Per the outlet, Williams reportedly revealed in October that she had secretly ended the relationship over the summer just before checking into a treatment facility for severe depression.
"For years I have dedicated myself to increasing awareness of mental health and empowering people to recognize when it’s time to seek help, support and guidance from those that love and care for your well-being," Williams wrote in statement in July on social media.
