Below Deck star Ben Robinson announced his split from his fiancée Kiara Cabral on Monday after a 'difficult' summer.
Their seperation comes just one year after her popped the question to his then girlfriend of four years back in May 2023.
Sharing the news with his Instagram followers, Ben, 43, admitted that it was 'the best decision' for both of them and thanked his followers for their support.
He wrote: 'Hey guys, I hope everyone’s had a wonderful summer. I have missed being in touch with you, but I’m finally able to share my adventures.
'You will understand, it’s been difficult. I am no longer getting married… We have decided to go our separate ways, and I think that this is the best decision for both of us.'

Ben continued: 'I would rather not discuss the reasons behind these decisions, but I feel it’s important for me to express my circumstance.
'With any luck my grievances will be overshadowed by the support of my loyal followers, friends and family. You always give me strength.
'I’m excited to continue my culinary inspirations with my non-gaslit cooktop, and trusty blowtorch. After all, nobody deserves a troublesome flame. Cheers Lovelies.'
Ben revealed on Instagram in May 2023 that he had asked Kiara to marry him and shared several engagement photos of the two on a boat from Limitless Seas.
Kiara flashed a diamond engagement ring, which was tagged as being from Robinsons Jewelers.
'After a wonderful 4 year relationship with my love Kiara I decided to take the next step and propose… I feel like the luckiest man alive!' he began his caption, linked to UsWeekly.
The Bravo star said: 'Thank you to my friends and family for all of your support.
'I couldn't have done it without you, and obviously thank you to Kiara for saying yes and making an honest man out of me. I love you.'

Ben then got down to business as he added all the companies he works with: Limitless Seas, Robinsons Jewelers, Below Deck, Below Deck Med, and Bravo.
'I pulled all of my friends and family into this wonderful love affair, and with their help we are now proudly engaged and I look forward to a life of love and laughter with the lovely Kiara,' he told UsWeekly.
'It's an amazing feeling secure in such a beautiful romance and friendship.
'We are involved with various cruise lines and had a trip to Italy planned with Emerald Cruises Lines.
'After our cruising obligations, we decided to stay in Rome for four nights. I could tell that Kiara saw this as a special moment and was definitely expecting more than a carbonara. She says not, but I could tell.'
Ben also talked about the ring, adding: 'I had it in my camera bag in a secret compartment. There was a moment when Kiara was looking for an LED light, which was forgotten.
'I was sure she must've seen it, but she did not!' he continued.
'I even forgot it on the way to the airport and blamed our detour on having to turn the air conditioning down. It was a bumpy ride. And well worth it. She had no clue when I dropped my knees in Vatican Square that I would be proposing.'

'There is a girl that I like at the moment. We're trying to take it slowly. So, we'll see what becomes of it,' Ben told Andy Cohen in 2020.
'But she's a friend, and we're having a good time together.'
He said, 'Kate's very good friends with Kiara and we all live in the same building.'
Chastain added, 'The reason it works is because I love his girlfriend. Not in that way. They came to visit me last summer when I rented a house [in Florida] during the pandemic, and she lives down there and our dogs get along. It's great.'
