AEW star and actor Anthony Bowens has confirmed his split from his influencer boyfriend Michael Pavano after almost a decade together.
Bowens, 35, broke the news in a recent interview on the Ring The Belle podcast.
‘We’re not actually together anymore,’ he told host DS Shin.
‘It is not public,’ he continued, before adding, ‘I promise you it’s okay. We’re friends, we’re cordial. He’s always gonna be in my life in some capacity.’
Although the pair broke up almost seven months ago, Bowens admitted that he’s still single.
‘I’m not really putting myself out there like that,’ he explained.

While Bowens has remained single, Pavano, 32, appears to have moved on with an OnlyFans model best known as ‘Spicy Chad’ online.
Bowens and Pavano first found love in New Jersey back in 2017 and later moved to Los Angeles together to pursue their careers.
Pavano, who is best known for his viral parodies of Meghan Markle, Blake Lively, and Gen Z, has seen his social media following skyrocket in recent years.
He currently boasts over 700,000 followers on TikTok and more than 800,000 on Instagram.
Meanwhile Bowens has become a huge name in wrestling after signing with AEW back in 2020.
In 2022, he made history as AEW’s first openly gay champion after winning the AEW World Tag Team Championship with Max Caster.
He recently made the move into acting with a role in the crime-drama series The Bay.
Bowens has also moved into the modelling space by fronting a campaign for Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty underwear brand.

During their time together, Bowens and Pavano became one of the internet’s favorite gay couples.
They were regularly featured in LGBTQ media, including Out Magazine and Instinct, who hailed them as ‘couple goals’.
Bowens himself has been publicly out of the closet for almost a decade, but his character finally came out to AEW wrestling fans during a 2023 in-ring segment in which he declared his sexuality to the world.
The revelation was met with huge applause from the crowd, who started to chant ‘he’s gay!’ over and over.
‘It was an incredible feeling, because I didn’t know how they would react,’ Bowens told Them in an interview at the time.
‘I didn’t think they would boo, I thought it would just be, like, “Yay!” But to have an entire arena give a standing ovation and then start chanting “He’s gay” at me was one of the most incredible feelings that I’ve had in awhile.’
