Benito Skinner announced on his ‘RIDE’ podcast that he and longtime partner Terrence O’Connor have ended their relationship after nine years, describing the split as “amicable.”

The ‘Overcompensating’ star reflected that they “grew up together in so many ways,” and expressed gratitude for the time they shared, saying “We both just love each other so much and have so much love and respect for each other.”

He also acknowledged his fans’ investment in their romance, urging them not to lose faith in love even as the relationship ends.

Though the two plan to move forward separately, Skinner said O’Connor will “always be a friend of this pod,” adding a joke about a stipulation of their breakup: “He will never date an actor younger than me.”
