Jason Mraz, Tristan Prettyman Split

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jun 8th 2011 06:10AM

It's splitsville for Jason Mraz and his fiancée.The 'I'm Yours' singer has confirmed he is no longer engaged to fellow singer-songwriter Tristan Prettyman.

He revealed news of the split to The Daily Beast while at the Samsung Hope for Children gala Tuesday night.

"My greatest mistake right now is, I've been clinging to my art," he said. "In that, I have victory for my art and a great loss for my heart. At the moment, my beautiful fiancée is no longer my beautiful fiancée."

Mraz proposed to Prettyman in December, tweeting the happy news, "SHE SAID YES" on Christmas Eve.

No wedding plans had been decided, primarily because the couple decided to wait to tie the knot until marriage was legal for everyone.

"We can't get married until [gay] marriage is legal and equal," Mraz told Us Weekly in January. "I think giving people the right to marry will be a huge movement in civil rights."

But now, Mraz is just trying to come to terms with his recent split.

"Two halves don't make a whole," he continued Tuesday about his breakup with Prettyman. "Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man."

But just because they aren't in a relationship doesn't mean Mraz and Prettyman have cut each other out of their lives.

"We are still super friends, we go to yoga together, we surf together," he said. "We acknowledge the journey that each of us is on. We certainly want each of us to feel whole and complete. And it's when you're whole and complete that that attraction exists and it really thrives."

Yea, I guess he got fed up with her nagging mouth. I would gladly give God another one of my ribs to design a new woman with a smaller brain, bigger paps, larger sex drive and no mouth.

WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP! NOT MARRYING UNTIL MARRIAGE IS LEGAL FOR EVERYONE. MY QUESTION IS THEN WHY GET ENGAGED IN THE FIRST PLACE! HER SAYING YES WAS ONLY BECAUSE THEIR MARRIAGE WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. SHE JUST GOT A RING IS ALL IT IS. I DON'T BELIEVE IN GAY MARRIAGE FIRST OF ALL. MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. HOWEVER, BEFORE ALL YOU PEOPLE EXPLODE OUT THERE. I AM NOT AGAINST GAY PEOPLE. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH GAY PEOPLE, HOWEVER I DON'T BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A MARRIAGE BUT I DO BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF UNION THAT THEY CAN DO INSTEAD OF A MARRIAGE SO TO SPEAK.

Ok who the heck are they and who cares if they split.

By Mico

Never heard of either of them. And if anyone else has,you have way too much time on your hands.

You been hiding under a rock. He won a grammy and his album went gold last year. You listening to Acid Rock again?

By Lauri

Nah, Mikey. TAKING acid maybe, but I doubt this tool listens to anything better than you would find playing in elevators.

By dnclilsistrdnc

What took you so long? With his statement about gays, He just didn't want to get married.SMART MOVE,YOU CAN DO MUCH BETTER.

By smjonz

Had and have know idea who they are, nevermind that they were engaged. Still, it's very traumatic for me to hear they have split. :)

oops...meant no idea...not know idea.

By Beel

Which one is the "guy"? Is one a transsexual? What the h..l does legalized gay marriage have to do with this? These burned-out drug users in the "entertainment" field are really all messed up.
(That's an UNDERSTATEMENT!)
