After announcing their engagement at the beginning of this month, it’s quickly come to an end. 69-year-old Aretha and 68-year-old Detroit businessman Willie–who have been together off and on for over 25 years–apparently, think things are moving too fast.

Via a statement issued by Aretha’s rep this morning, says they have decided to halt the wedding plans:

“Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly. There will be no wedding at this time. We will not comment on it any further because of the very personal and sensitive nature of it. We appreciate all of the many well wishes from friends.”

I mean seriously 25 yrs what’s the point of getting married anyways
