Cecily clarified that while she and Matty are not walking down the aisle as expected this winter, she said that the relationship isn’t necessarily over, but that they are taking a break. 

She added she is moving from Hawaii to the east coast and that she and Matty are “really spending time apart for a little bit.” 

“It could , it could be six months, it could be two years, it can be a long time. So, we're just not sure,” she said before adding: “I'm definitely not in a rush to get married.”

WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN

Beth died at just 51 on June 26th 2019 after . 

Cecily and Matty, a plumber, got engaged on Christmas 2018, and have been living together in Hawaii.
