Tabitha Swatosh and Michael Sanzone Announce Breakup After Nearly Four Years Together
Both Tabitha Swatosh and Michael Sanzone posted separate TikTok videos on Sunday, March 15, confirming what many followers had already begun to suspect: their nearly four-year relationship was over.
In her video, posted on TikTok, Swatosh read from a written statement in a notebook. She opened by acknowledging the chatter already circulating online.
“So many people on the Internet have already made so many speculations, I haven’t even gone to process everything myself,” she said.
She admitted she wasn’t fully ready to discuss the breakup publicly but felt compelled to address it — and that not everyone in her personal life even knew yet. “I haven’t told all my friends or family about this,” she said. “So if this is the way you’re finding out, I hope you just understand.”
Swatosh reflected on where the relationship began, saying she and Sanzone first met when he was 20 and she was 21. “The beginning of your 20s, you’re really discovering who you are and who you want to be,” she said.
She then described how relocating to Los Angeles affected her sense of self. “When I moved to [Los Angeles], I feel like I just really lost who Tabitha was,” she said. That loss of identity, she explained, became tangled up with the relationship itself. “When my relationship wasn’t doing well, the rest of my whole life just fell apart,” she said.
Swatosh said she and Sanzone had tried to make things work through therapy, space and time, but ultimately decided to separate. She called the breakup “confusing,” and her next words carried a grief that went beyond romance.
“It’s not just losing a boyfriend, it’s. It’s losing the person I was glued to for so many years. So many memories, so many lessons, so much growth,” she said.
She also acknowledged the split didn’t come out of nowhere. “There were multiple times when we both agreed that this wasn’t working anymore. Just by trying to force it to work so many times is what was damaging us,” she said.
Sanzone shared his own perspective in a separate TikTok video posted the same day.
He said he had moved to Tennessee nearly two years earlier with “two best friends and his girlfriend.” Then came one of the rawest lines from either video: “A year and two months later, none of those people are in my life.”
He described the aftermath as an intense adjustment. “It’s been a really hard adjustment period cause I’ve never had to be alone — especially just far from my family,” he said. “I’m now in Tennessee, which was a place that I thought I was going to possibly raise a family or whatever that that next season of my life was.”
Sanzone was honest about why he chose to post at all. “I just wanted to make this video because I want to be honest and maybe just document this for future me whenever I start thriving again,” he said. “Sorry that the music’s taking a little bit longer. I’m just, uh. I’m going through a lot.”
In the caption of his post, Sanzone wrote, “It’s been a very difficult navigating this, I ask that you give Tabs and I the privacy and time we need. Please know that we don’t have any hatred towards each other.”
Swatosh has built an audience of more than 16 million followers across TikTok and Instagram for her vlog-style content and posts about her farm. Sanzone is also known for sharing music and social media content online. Both creators were previously members of the influencer collective Hype House, which is where many fans first became familiar with them as part of a larger creator ecosystem.
