After 12 years together, social media star Matt Armato opened up about his split from long-term partner Beau Ciolino, describing the transition as deeply painful. The couple, known for their lifestyle blog and book, “Probably This Housewarming: A Guide to Creating a Home You Adore,” announced their separation on social media.
In a heartfelt video that has since been deleted, Ciolino expressed gratitude for their time together and the love they shared. He mentioned that it was a privilege to have spent 12 years as partners and to have shared their journey with their online followers.

Armato, who will now manage their TikTok account while Ciolino oversees their Instagram, humorously acknowledged his single status and the emotional process he is going through. He expressed gratitude for Ciolino’s presence in his life and the accomplishments they have achieved together.
The video also captured an awkward fist bump between the two, sparking speculation online about the dynamics of their breakup. Armato later took to social media to defend Ciolino, emphasizing that they are both going through a challenging transition and asking for compassion rather than judgment from their followers.
Despite the public nature of their breakup announcement, Armato reassured fans that there are no sides to take and that both he and Ciolino are navigating this new chapter with respect and care for each other. He asked for support without tearing down his ex-partner and acknowledged the complexity of their situation.
The news of the split was met with mixed reactions online, with many expressing support and understanding for both Armato and Ciolino during this difficult time.
