Keith Powers and Ryan Destiny have broken up after four-year relationship
Actors Keith Powers and Ryan Destiny have decided to quit after four years of being in the relationship. “They’re taking time to focus on themselves and their emerging careers but are remaining close friends,” a source close to the former couple told PEOPLE.
Powers, 29, and Destiny, 27, first met in 2015 at a Teen Vogue party, and then they connected again on Instagram.
“For a minute we tried to hide it for numerous reasons, but as human beings sometimes you want to just shout to the world ‘I love this person and I’m happy!’” Destiny says of their relationship in a 2019 joint interview with We the Urban. “We try to find a balance. I’m already a private person and very career-driven so reminding people that I am my own person is important.”
“It is so important for our people to see healthy Black love,” Powers said. “Whether it’s a relationship, marriage or even friendships. Black love gives us hope. When you see Black love flourish, it’s powerful.”
Destiny and Powers haven’t publicly addressed their breakup.
When Destiny was a guest on the Wendy Williams Show in 2019, she talked about her relationship.
“They’re crazy, y’all,” Destiny said to Williams at the time, theGrio reported. “They’re crazy. They just like, you know there are fan pages that are for me and Quincy and then there’s fan pages that are for me and Keith. And they go on all of our pages sometimes if we post a picture of me and Keith or if Quincy posts a picture of me and him.”
“They’re just like you can see it in her eyes, it’s like she’s all for him. She’s not, you know, really supposed to be with Keith,” the actress added. “It can get really disrespectful and luckily we just are kind of used to it now and we just–you need to find a balance in social media I think and just ignore it. You got to ignore it.”
