Long distance and a demanding work schedule were blamed for their breakup. When they broke off their engagement, the "Shallows" singer was busy working on an album, he was preoccupied with his show, and they were not in the same state.

Kinney and Lady Gaga were deeply in love, but the distance between them made it impossible for them to keep the fire burning in their relationship. Nonetheless, both appeared to have moved on as they found new romantic partners.
