Chaz Bono Splits From Fiancée

Chaz Bono has split from longtime girlfriend Jennifer Elia, ending their engagement, according to TMZ.

"They leave this relationship with great love, respect and affection toward one another," Howard Bragman, Bono's spokesman, tells the website. "No further amplification will be forthcoming and they ask that you respect their privacy at this time."

The relationship between the two was chronicled in the documentary Becoming Chaz and its sequel Being Chaz, which showed Bono proposing to Elia. The couple had been together since a blind date in 2005, years before Bono transitioned to male. "Chaz and I interacted with a male-female dynamic from the very beginning," Elia told The Advocate last June. "There were definite changes beyond just feeling a male essence after he transitioned."
