Michelle Williams ends engagement to Chad Johnson
Michelle Williams is reportedly back to being single.
The singer announced on her Instagram Stories, in a post that appears to have been deleted, that her engagement to pastor Chad Johnson “didn’t work out.”
“I still remain fearless,” the former Destiny’s Child singer wrote as a nod to her new single “Fearless,” also released Friday (via Us Weekly). “I guess I still remain single! Thing didn’t work out.”
Williams, 38, and Johnson announced their engagement in April after he popped the question in March. They met in 2017 at a spiritual retreat.
However, wedding planning wasn’t filled with typical joyous prenuptial festivities as the singer checked herself into a mental health facility for depression over the summer.
In announcing their split, Williams also noted that “the healing that needs to take place is a must!” and wished Johnson well.
“I don’t wanna destroy another relationship. Blessings to him, his family and ministry. #FEARLESS.”
The breakup also comes as their reality show “Chad Loves Michelle” has been airing on OWN after premiering in November. Williams is also in the middle of a Broadway stint as Erzulie in “Once on This Island” until Jan. 6.
