Influencer Carly Weinstein Reveals She Broke Up With BF After Marriage Talk

InfluencerCarly Weinstein is back on the market.

Weinstein, 29, took to TikTok on Wednesday, July 8, to reveal that she and Ethan Lewkowicz called it quits after two years of dating. "I love him so much but as we were getting closer to engagement, talking about marriage, talking about the rest of our life, I just realized that something wasn't matching up," she explained.

"I really, really wanted him to be my person," the TikTok star continued. "I really wanted to be married. The more weddings I go to, the more I see my friends finding their people, the more I wondered if something was missing."

Weinstein went on to say that she was the one to make the "tough decision" to break things off before "progressing more." After calling it quits, Weinstein shared that she's had "suppressed" feelings resurface. "Navigating through this is s***ty and it's gonna suck but I also feel hopeful." 

She added through tears, "I shared this part of my life and it just didn't work out the way that I originally hoped that it would. It's just gonna take a minute for me to adjust to my new life."
