Amber Riley has moved on from her engagement to DeSean Black. While visiting the podcast Nice & Neat last month, the Single Black Female star was asked about her relationship status, to which she replied, “I am a single Black female.
I am, but I’m not a crazy one like in the movie.” That revelation may have come as a surprise to some, who knew she was engaged to Black and had been since 2020. “I’m recently single,” she added, noting that the breakup wasn’t a nasty one. “It was amicable,” she said. “I wish him the best.
