The Challenge alums Kaycee Clark and Nany González have called it quits more than a year after announcing their engagement.
“After a lot of reflection, Kaycee and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the couple wrote in a joint statement shared to Instagram Stories on Wednesday, January 25.
“This definitely wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s what’s best for the both of us,” they wrote.
It continued: “Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way — we’re both moving forward with love and kindness in our hearts & we ask that you respect our need for privacy at this time.”
All ‘The Challenge’ Couples Who Are Still Going Strong
Clark, 37, and González, 36, met while filming season 35 of The Challenge: Total Madness in 2019. The pair weren’t linked romantically until two years later, when they started posting photos with one another on Instagram.
During an interview with Us Weekly in August 2022, Clark and González revealed they were “super excited” about their future and said they had discussed the possibility of marriage and kids.
“We have talked about it a lot. The next step, obviously, would be marriage,” González told Us at the time.
“And then, of course, after that would be children and that, obviously, would, you know, come with IVF and all of that. So that’s definitely something that we’re going to look into eventually and we’re super excited about just our future together,” she added.
The former couple announced their engagement in a video posted to Instagram on September 17, 2023.
In the clip, which appears to have since been deleted, the pair could be seen walking, dancing, and embracing on a beach on Thailand’s Phi Phi Islands. The video ended with González getting down on one knee next to a sign lit up in a fire that read, “Will U Marry Me.”

“From the moment I met this woman, I knew that she was someone special,” the caption read.
“Our paths crossed in the most unexpected way, and I am forever grateful for that chance encounter. My heart is full of love and gratitude for the joy you have brought into my life, Kaycee Noelle.”
