What happened to Dan and Lucy on TikTok? Viral couple announces break up 4 months after wedding

TikTok couple Dan and Lucy have shocked fans after Dan posted a video revealing they’d broken up, just months after getting married.

Dan Lawrence and Lucy Claire are a well-loved TikTok couple with over 950k followers on TikTok and 350k followers on Facebook.

The couple has been making TikTok videos for over four years, with videos including snippets of their life together with their 3-year-old daughter Harper. However, they’re most known for the pranks they pull on each other and trying out viral food hacks.

However, on January 7, Dan published a video on their Facebook page, telling fans he and Lucy had broken up, just five months after getting married.

Did Dan and Lucy from TikTok break up?

The couple got married on September 6, 2023, but Dan revealed in a Facebook video published on January 7 that they’d broken things off in November after five years together.

In the video, Dan is on the verge of tears as he tells viewers Lucy had ended their relationship.

He wrote in the comments: “Tuesday 14th November, my whole world ended.”

Dan went on to say that Lucy had broken up with him after saying she was no longer in love with him.

“This is a video that I thought I’d never have to make… But me and Lucy are over,” Dan said. “She’s ended it. She’s not happy.”

“We’ve been married… We’ve not even had the wedding video come through. We couldn’t even last until the wedding video. She’s not in love with me anymore.”

He went on to say that he believes that social media, their pranks, and just life itself took a toll on their relationship and ended up being “too much”.

“Now I don’t know what to do. I feel like I need to be strong for Harper, but… I just lost my wife,” he said.

With the clip being filmed in November, Dan said they still had to pretend things were okay between them as they had livestreams and other commitments they had to do together.

Lucy breaks silence on breakup in social media post

A few weeks after Dan posted the video on Facebook, Lucy decided to break her silence on the split by posting her statement on her social media platforms.

She wrote: “Over the last few days I have been inundated with messages – from our friends, our family and our followers – a lot of whom sadly had to find out via the internet that Dan & I separated in November.

“While Dan & I have been privately grieving for some time, I understand for many that the news comes as a shock. To our friends & family who I did not get the opportunity to tell personally, I am truly sorry.”

She continued “By signing up to live a part of my life online, I understand I am opening myself up to judgements and perceptions. Although it might not have been immediately obvious from the limited social media posts since November, both Dan & I have been mourning and processing, as we are understandably devastated by the breakdown of our marriage. Our focus throughout this extremely difficult time has been ensuring that we are doing the best we can for our daughter.”

“I think it’s important to remember that online narratives don’t always capture the full complexity of personal situations,” she wrote. “Our separation involves intricacies that go beyond what has been shared online.”

“No one intends to marry only to separate shortly after; the great sadness is for Harper that we unfortunately couldn’t make it work. Given the above, it was of course a decision made through great heartache, and by no means one that was taken lightly.”

Lucy added: “Going forward, our utmost focus is Harper and ensuring that she has the best possible relationship with both Dan & myself.” She described Dan as an “incredible father” and said she will “always care very deeply” for him.

She continued: “I have had conversations at length with Dan, and out of mutual respect for the wellbeing and protection of ourselves and Harper (especially as she may one day see all of this), I have asked him to consider keeping future discussions surrounding our separation private.”

She concluded the statement with a message to their followers, urging: “Please think compassionately before reacting. This isn’t a case of picking sides, the only thing I would ever ask of you is to treat both of us with kindness & respect as we navigate this process and ensure we are the best parents we can be. Above all else, please… #BeKind.”
