In a surprising and personal development, Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm and longtime girlfriend Erin Dolan have officially called off their engagement, just months before their planned summer wedding.
A joint statement released by the couple on Saturday morning confirmed the decision, citing “private personal reasons” for the change in plans. The couple emphasized that the split was mutual and respectful, and asked for privacy as they navigate this transition.
“After careful consideration and many heartfelt conversations, we’ve mutually decided to call off our wedding,” the statement read. “We have great respect for one another and remain supportive friends. At this time, we kindly ask for privacy as we move forward separately.”
The news comes as a shock to many fans, as Bohm and Dolan — a popular sports betting analyst and media personality — had been frequently seen together at public events, and their engagement had drawn attention from both the MLB and media circles.
Sources close to the couple say there was no single dramatic incident, but rather a growing realization that their individual careers and personal goals were pulling them in different directions.
Bohm, 28, is currently in the midst of another strong season with the Phillies, continuing to establish himself as a cornerstone of the franchise. Dolan, meanwhile, has seen her career in sports broadcasting continue to rise, with appearances on ESPN, FanDuel TV, and other major platforms.
While the breakup is personal, fans have flooded social media with messages of support for both Bohm and Dolan, praising the maturity of their joint statement and wishing them both well in the future.
Neither party is expected to comment further on the matter.
