"After these 5 wonderful years we had together, we decided we have two different goals and made the decision to call off the engagement. We love each other very much, but we aren't in love anymore," Leviss and Kennedy wrote. "We want nothing but the best for each other so please keep any thoughts positive. Sending Love."

The former couple got engaged in May when Kennedy popped the question with a Coachella-themed proposal after five years of dating.

Leviss originally shared the engagement news with a collection of special photos from the evening and wrote, "James proposed at the iconic Empire Polo Fields of 'RACHELLA' Friday night... and I said YES! I'm over the Coachella moon ✨🌵🌙 #RACHELLA."

Kennedy also celebrated the moment on Instagram with a snap of them kissing. "THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, said yes. 💍 💕 #RACHELLA," he wrote in the caption.

The proposal aired on Vanderpump Rules in October.

They first got engaged in 2018 and planned to get married in April 2020. Kent and Emmett, who welcomed daughter Ocean in March, pushed back their wedding until 2022 due to COVID-19. However, reports of a split sparked in October after Kent deleted every post of Emmett from her Instagram page. TMZ and Page Six later reported they parted ways.

A source told PEOPLE, "Lala was completely blindsided by all of this and was living in the dark for so long. But now she is doing the best she can to keep her chin up and pushing forward with taking care of her daughter and supporting her family."
