CNN —“This is Us” star Chrissy Metz and her boyfriend of more than three years, Bradley Collins, are parting ways. While we continue to love each other very much, we believe this is the best path for us both,” the post reads. We have all the same friends and we’ve been in the same rooms before, but we’ve never connected, so it was interesting,” Metz said at the time. “We really got a chance to know each other because you can’t get to smooching too soon when you’re social-distance dating. Get to know the person you’re dating.”They co-authored a children’s book together titled “When I Talk To God, I Talk About You,” which was released earlier this year.
