Social media influencers Matt Armato and Beau Ciolino, best known as the gay couple behind @ProbablyThis, have broken up after dating for 12 years and creating content together for 10 years. Upon announcing their breakup with their fans, Armato and Ciolino became targets of a very intense and wild discourse.Armato and Ciolino, who have accumulated 656,000 followers on TikTok and 258,000 followers on Instagram in their joint @ProbablyThis accounts, felt the responsibility of disclosing the breakup with their fans. As a result, they shared a video toward the end of last week explaining the situation."Hmm, we broke up," Armato started.Ciolino laughed at Armato's very blunt way to start the video, adding: "It's been a privilege doing 12 years together as partners, and for 10 years sharing that online with everyone. And I think that, you know, there's so much love between us. [When you] really love someone [you know] when to change the format of the relationship, and we decided to just be best friends."Ciolino acknowledged that it felt both "silly" and "kind of necessary" to share this video updating their fans about this breakup. Armato, however, was a little less enthusiastic about it."This is like the dumbest video I think I could imagine. This belongs in my journal, not out there," Armato explained. He then joked, "But I want you to know I'm single."Ciolino added that they're ending things "on great terms," and still "respect each other so much," and "still have so much love" between them. Ciolino went on to note that they've even "gone on vacation together" during this breakup process and would probably still call Armato for help if he ever needed it."You're gonna pay me," Armato quipped, making Ciolino laugh again.Ultimately, the couple revealed that Armato will continue using their joint TikTok page, whereas Ciolino will keep running their joint Instagram account. They also shared the other person's new standalone social media page on each social network.@probablythisLife update @Beau Felix CiolinoArmato acknowledged this odd situation and said that he'll "take a second to lick my wounds and be like, 'What the fuck just happened?' I'm really grateful to I've had you in my life.""I'm proud of what we've done," Armato concluded, "and I'm proud of what we're doing right now."Ciolino gestured to do a fist bump with Armato, who took a second before joining in, but eventually did. "Beautifully said," Ciolino declared.Since this video was shared on Instagram and TikTok, absolute gay chaos ensued with people reacting to the breakup news.Editor's note: As seen below, Matt Armato has shared an Instagram story responding to the social media posts reacting to their breakup.

He wrote:"Thank you to everyone who's reached out with care after our breakup announcement. 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. 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. 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." (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@) (@)
