Shane Gillis and Grace Brassel have ended their relationship after nearly a year of dating. The 37-year-old comedian and 26-year-old social media influencer initially began their romance in July 2024 but reportedly split several months ago, prior to Brassel’s recent TikTok post on November 6.
Their relationship, which they publicly confirmed via TikTok in July of last year, was marked by a few notable appearances, including a striking red carpet moment at the 2025 ESPY Awards, where Gillis hosted the event. Sources close to the situation revealed that the breakup occurred months before Brassel’s cryptic post featuring Lily Allen’s song “Madeline,” which explores themes of infidelity. Fans speculated about the nature of their split, with some questioning if Gillis had done something to hurt her, prompting Brassel to reply with playful emojis, further fueling the speculation.
Despite their public outings, Gillis traditionally kept his private life private, while Brassel actively showcased moments from their relationship on social media. Before they confirmed their relationship, they were seen together at the wedding of Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo, which set off initial rumors about their romance.
Now that the couple has parted ways, Gillis is set to focus on his flourishing comedy career, which includes a successful Netflix series titled “Tires” and his ongoing podcast, “Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast.” Meanwhile, Brassel is likely to concentrate on her influencer career, further building her personal brand independently.
While rumors surrounding the reasons for their breakup circulate, including speculation about infidelity, the actual reasons remain personal and unconfirmed by either party. Both Gillis and Brassel now look towards their individual futures, signaling an opportunity for growth and success in their respective careers. Fans are undoubtedly eager to see how each of them will navigate this new chapter of their lives.
