Mika Abdalla is embarking on a new phase.
The Off Campus star and Jake Short, with whom she became engaged in 2025, have split up, her agent said.
"Due to recent interest in Mika's personal life," Abdalla's representative told Us Weekly, "it would feel remiss to not address that she and Jake are no longer together."
The statement continued by saying, "They continue to support each other and remain on friendly terms, and kindly ask for privacy and respect."
Abdalla, 26, and Short, 29, costarred in the 2022 film Sex Appeal, in which they play friends to lovers, before starting a relationship off screen.
Their courtship would be subtly revealed in regular Instagram posts on both pages, and in May 2025, Short's manager Brian Medavoy released an Instagram post confirming his client and Abdalla's engagement.
"An awesome day yesterday celebrating the next chapter for my longtime client, Jake Short, and his fiancé, Mika Abdalla," Medavoy captioned the carousel of photos from the garden party. "I've enjoyed witnessing your progress from set to real life. "Here's to forever."
Neither Short nor Abdalla has officially addressed their split. Short's latest appearance on Abdalla's Instagram grid was in November.
Abdalla had appeared in several projects over the years—in addition to Sex Appeal, she also appeared in season one of The Pitt—but it was her role as Allie Hayes in the Amazon Prime Video series Off Campus that skyrocketed her into a new stratosphere of fame.
The first season of the series, based on Elle Kennedy's novels and starring Ella Bright, Belmont Cameli, Antonio Cipriano, and Jalen Thomas Brooks, rapidly became a success, with many fans swooning over Abdalla's onscreen chemistry with co-star Stephen Kalyn, who plays Dean DiLaurentis.
In fact, they were such a fan-favorite pairing that Amazon announced Abdalla and Kalyn—who is engaged to his longtime love Victoria Lovatsis IRL—would lead season two of the series.
"All eight scripts are written, and we have a very exciting plan for the season," showrunner Louisa Levy confirmed to Variety in May. "I don't want to say anything yet—but I think book fans will be very excited."
