October has not been a pleasant month for former childhood star Raven-Symoné. As if turning the world upside down with her controversial opinions and comments wasn't enough, The View host is reportedly having relationship issues as well. According to rumors over at Us Weekly, Raven and girlfriend AzMarie Livingston have allegedly broken up.
Is Raven officially back on the market, single and ready to mingle? On Monday (Oct. 19), the entertainment news publication released a report confirming her new dating status. The 29-year-old actress began dating 28-year-old Livingston in 2012.
The That's So Raven star has remained quite open about dating women and proudly attended events with Livngston, but has never been a fan of allowing her personal life to become a public forum for debate. Last year, Raven opened up about her sexuality to Oprah Winfrey, but admitted she didn't want to be defined by it.

"I’m in an amazing, happy relationship with my partner, a woman,” Raven said on an episode of Winfrey's Where Are They Now? in October 2014. “I don’t want to be labeled gay,” she says. “I want to be labeled a human who loves humans. I’m tired of being labeled. I’m an American. I’m not an African-American; I’m an American.”
It was in 2013 when fans first received an inkling about Raven's sexual preferences after the actress published a tweet in support of gay marriage that spiked an immense amount of feedback. "I can finally get married. Yay government! So proud of you," Raven wrote. Some believed it was her way of publicly coming out in Hollywood.
Although cryptic social media posts can be misleading and somewhat confusing, Raven and Livingston might have called it quits earlier than revealed. Livingston, who's most known for being a contestant on America's Next Top Model: British Invasion in 2012 and guest-starring on Fox's Empire, posted an interesting meme to her personal Instagram (unverified) marked two weeks ago.
The meme reads: "Don't get it twisted. Just because I'm alone, does not mean I'm lonely."
Raven has yet to speak out about the alleged breakup.
