Why Did Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo Split?
It’s unclear what really went down between them. However, Benjamin did share a sweet tribute following their relationship, but didn’t mention Bella by name.
“A little more than three years ago I crossed roads with the most amazing human being. That day, my life changed forever, and I’m deeply grateful for every single moment we shared together since,” the Italian star shared, in part. “Only God know how many hearts I’ve broken and how many people I’ve hurt selfishly following my ego, of all the things I could and should do better, and of that I take full responsibility, for all my sins and mistakes – but I know now it was all part of a bigger plan that guided to where I am today.”
What Did Bella Thorne Say About Benjamin Mascolo?
While she’s kept quiet about their breakup, Bella did tell J-14 exclusively in November 2022 that she was able to draw from their real-life romance when filming movies Time Is Up and Game of Love alongside her ex.
“Ben and I were together,” the actress explained at the time. “I think that, yeah, that was enough to draw from since we were currently dating at the time. But yeah, Vivien was a really different character for me. I’m not sure that I always play a lot of, maybe, good girls. She definitely was until she wasn’t.”
