Mika Abdalla and Jake Short End Engagement After Five Years

The relationship between Mika Abdalla and Jake Short has come to an end. The pair, who became engaged last year, have decided to split after five years of dating.

Abdalla, 26, stars in the Amazon Prime Video series Off Campus, while Short, 29, is known for his role on A.N.T. Farm. The separation marks a significant change for the couple, who had publicly confirmed their engagement just one year prior.

The timing of the announcement coincides with major career momentum for Abdalla. Her Prime Video project has recently gained traction, and she has been confirmed as the lead female star for the show's second season. Her representatives chose this moment to address her relationship status publicly.

In a statement to Us Weekly, Abdalla's rep shared details about the split: "Due to recent interest in Mika's personal life it would feel remiss to not address that her and Jake are no longer together. They continue to support each other and remain on friendly terms, and kindly ask for privacy and respect."

The two met while collaborating on the Hulu original film Sex Appeal, which was filmed in 2021 and premiered in early 2022. Their professional connection eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship.

The engagement became official in May 2025, when Jake's manager announced the news alongside photos from their engagement celebration. "An awesome day yesterday celebrating the next chapter for my longtime client, Jake Short and his fiance Mika Abdalla. From set to real life – watching your journey has been a joy. Here's to forever," manager Brian Medavoy wrote at the time.

The exact timing of the breakup remains unclear. In February 2026, Short posted a year-in-review compilation that featured images with Abdalla. She responded with several comments on the post, including "every photo tells a story," "don't even know what to say," and "beer banner gets the blood boiling."
