Matchmaker Patti Stanger Breaks Off Engagement

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 15th 2010 09:07AM

'Millionaire Matchmaker' Patti Stanger is officially back on the market after she broke off her engagement with real estate executive Andy Friedman on Saturday. "I just ended my relationship with Andy. It hit me really hard that I want kids in my life. You have to agree on the non-negotiables," she confirmed on Twitter.

Last May, the reality matchmaking star got engaged when Friedman presented her with a 4-carat heart shaped diamond in a white-gold setting. He popped the question in Maui on May 31 -- her birthday. Stanger admits she didn't know he was "the one" at first. "I didn't know. He was my best friend. He just slid into third base. He is one of those guys," she told PopEater back in March.

The couple met five and a half years ago through another matchmaker.

Stanger is bringing her matching-making skills to the Big Apple for the fourth season of Bravo's 'Millionaire Matchmaker.' She will continue to set up wealthy clients in hopes of finding them true love. But the dating scene in New York is "bare" compared to Los Angeles, where she filmed the first two seasons of her hit Bravo reality series. With a limited supply of "hot women" and male "hunters" in NYC, Stanger tells PopEater that season 3 will focus more on the millionairesses.

You don't have to be married to know how to pick 'em. Many horse trainers never or don't know how to ride a horse. You just need to be able to read people and see beyond their bullcrap. You are not good at doing that when you are blinded by your affection for that person. Actually, I like a blunt, realistic person. Tells me what I don't want to hear, which usually turns out to be the truth!

A truly repulsive woman. Maybe she is strong. I do not care She is irritating to my eyes, and to my ears.

By Chantal

OMG you are so RIGHT.. I saw her one time while flipping through channels, I could not watch more than a few minutes.. what a VILE persona!

By Allison

She wants to settle down and have children . He didn't . Many rich millionaires like Freidman don't want children . Maybe she should forget about the millionaires and find a hard working regular guy .

By alleycat

Just goes to show you she ain't as smart as she wants everyone to think.

I AM SURE THOSE 20 LBS SHE LOSSED WILL FIND THERE WAY BACK AND MORE. MOST GUYS DON'T WANT WOMAN LIKE HER. MEN WANT THE OLD FASHON TIPE YOU KNOW LIKE GRANDMOTHER. THATS WHAT I WANTED AND FOUND. THE ONLY THING I HAD TO GO TO RUSSIA TO FIND THIS KIND OF WOMAN BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND IT IN THE US. IT IS THE BEST THING I EVER DID

By Alexandra

Patti has been dating this man for 5 1/2 years. I don't understand why she did not realize before now, that he had no interest in having children. She is a great matchmaker involving other people, but apparently her abilities do not extend to her !

By themeeker

Geez, that's pretty hostile. Why don't you take your own advice? We'd all be better off without a repulsive dumb bunny like you too.

By Elvis Preston

I wouldn`t insult the canine world by calling this broad a dog face!

I have a sneaky suspicion that you might be an ugly specimen.. you girls kinda' stick together..

Hey Chantal, I love strong women. I just happen to find Patty irritating. And not pretty. And pompous.

Have a nice day.

ONe more thing. I can't stand people who use all caps. Uncouth.

By alumotta

Patti is a strong woman. Too strong for most guys. Most women can't relate to her either because they're either stuck in bad relationships or are simply tools for the men in their lives. So go ahead and hate on this smart, tough woman....she'll be living the Good Life while you're all stuck in your mediocre monotony.

By Angel Baby

Tough woman is right.....tough to LOOK at! LMAO!!!

By lynn

Just because she's a matchmaker doesn't mean she should get married!! she's better off single!!

Amen, alumotta!! most women are not happily married and are broke as well!!! marriage is not for everyone and quite frankly most people have been sucky marriage partners anyway!!!
