Mika Abdalla and Jake Short End Five-Year Relationship and Engagement

Mika Abdalla and Jake Short have ended their relationship and called off their engagement, marking the conclusion of a five-year romance that began on a film set.

The pair's separation came to light just weeks after Abdalla's Prime Video series Off Campus premiered. An insider revealed to DeuxMoi that the breakup happened "shortly before Off Campus premiered at the beginning of May." The source emphasized that the two "were a really great couple it just didn't work out and they remain on good terms."

Addressing speculation about the circumstances surrounding the split, Abdalla's representative told Us Weekly: "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."

Abdalla stars as Allie Hayes on the streaming series and is set to lead the romantic storyline in season two, with her career gaining significant momentum.

The actors first connected while filming the Hulu original movie Sex Appeal in 2021, which debuted in early 2022. Their engagement was announced in May 2025 when Jake's manager, Brian Medavoy, shared 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," Medavoy wrote at the time.

The couple appeared together publicly as recently as February 2026. Jake shared a year-in-review post on February 21, 2026, featuring photos with Abdalla, who left several comments on the post including "every photo tells a story" and "don't even know what to say." Both attended an Actor Awards event together on February 26, 2026.
