Influencer couple Beau Ciolino and Matt Armato, known online as “Probably This,” are addressing where they stand after announcing their split.
In a since-deleted social media video, the pair shared that they have decided to go their separate ways after 12 years together. Just Jared reported that Beau was smiling in the clip, while Matt appeared more somber.
“It’s been a privilege doing 12 years together as partners and for 10 years sharing that online with everyone. I think that there is so much love between us and really loving someone knows when to change the format of the relationship, and we’ve decided to just be best friends,” Beau said in the video, per the outlet.
Matt, meanwhile, added, “This is, like, the dumbest video I think I can imagine. This belongs in my journal, not out there, but I want you to know I’m single.”

While the video led to fan speculation that Beau had been unfaithful in their relationship, Matt shut down the rumors.
In the comments section of the since-deleted post, Matt allegedly wrote, “I love Beau with all my heart! He is a good person. Please do not attack him. We are both anxious in the video and showing it in different ways. He did not cheat, he did not use me and he did not force me to make this. Our breakup was mutual even though it devastates me, because many things can be true.”
Matt also shared a statement via his Instagram Story, thanking those who have “reached out with care” after announcing their separation.

“I know the video has sparked a lot of reactions. This is a deeply painful transition, and while I understand why people are speculating about our dynamic, I don’t want this to become a pile-on against Beau,” Matt wrote. “He is not a villain, he is a human and a really beautiful one at that. One large point of criticism has been the gap between our apparent demeanors. Neither of us was confident addressing this publicly but given that we’ve built our career together as a couple it felt necessary.”
He continued, “So what you might see as someone being carelessly giddy I see as nervous posturing — and, sure, a bit of relief. I can’t fault him for that. I too am relieved to be moving on. As we said in the video we are still very close and I feel deeply for him. Please know that there are no teams here. I see your compassion and I appreciate it, but if your support for me looks like tearing him down I don’t want it.”
