The news broke with a YouTube video titled We Broke Up, where both addressed fans directly and stressed their desire to control the narrative and stop rumors before they spread. Richards explained that although the relationship was serious, they were simply not ready for that level of commitment and needed time to grow as individuals. The video, picked up by E Online and covered widely on IMDb, racked up nearly two million views in under 24 hours, cementing the breakup as one of the biggest influencer stories of the summer.

While his personal life grabbed the spotlight, Richards continued his steady run as an entrepreneurial force.

His engagement on TikTok remains fiery—just days ago, he posted an apology to a user named Jana, taking accountability and garnering nearly 400,000 likes in less than a day, a testament to his direct relationship with his audience.

There have been no reports of new business launches or major public appearances beyond his digital presence, but the magnitude of the breakup, his sustainment of multiple business ventures, and continued status as a Gen Z culture leader have all kept him near the top of the news cycle and in the public imagination.
