Amanda Bynes splits from fiancé Paul Michael weeks after announcing engagement

Amanda Bynes has split from her fiancé Paul Michael just weeks after they announced their engagement.

Paul, 28, confirmed that they'd broken up himself but insisted the former couple are still "best friends".

There were rumours they had ended their brief engagement earlier this week after the Hairspray actress, 33, deleted every single photo of Paul from her Instagram page, including the engagment announcement.

They had only just announced they were getting married on Valentine's Day, just over three weeks ago.

When asked if they'd split up by In Touch Paul confirmed the news, saying: "We did. I love her though, she's my best friend."
