Bret Michaels confirmed Monday he is no longer engaged to his longtime girlfriend Kristi Gibson. No reason for the split was given. Michaels and Gibson were together off and on for more than 16 years and have two daughter together, 12-year-old Raine and 7-year-old Jorja Bleu.
"Although the couple have separated they remain great friends and are committed to jointly raising their two daughters,” a rep for the Poison rocker told People magazine.
"With all that Kristi, Raine, Jorja and I are going through, no doubt this is a very difficult time for all of us," Michaels wrote on his website. "I want all of you to know that Kristi and I remain great friends and committed loving parents to our daughters. I am blessed to have someone as great as Kristi in my life in any capacity."
Michaels, 49, popped the question in December 2010, 8 months after he survived a brain hemorrhage. The proposal was featured on the finale of VH1’s Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It. "I love you, and you've been unbelievably a big part of my life, and we have two beautiful girls together. ... I know we love and respect each other, and I hope that we can find that inner love that we have forever. And I want you to be my wife,” Michaels told Gibson.
Up next for the rocker is the September release of his next album, Bret Michaels and Friends: Get Your Rock On.
