Political power couple Tomi Lahren and Brandon Fricke are a thing of the past. The conservative political commentator and show host called off her engagement with Brandon, an independent candidate running for Congress in California’s 33rd District after two and a half years of dating. The split appears to be serious, so much so that the outspoken Trump supporter has already handed back her $50,000 engagement ring Brandon purchased.
Brandon purchased Tomi’s $50,000 engagement ring with his Amex card.
As a candidate running for Congress in California’s 33rd District, Brandon was required to disclose his personal income and expenses.
As documents published by Daily Mail on Nov. 1, 2019 reveal, the conservative politician and Ted Lieu challenger made approximately $50,000 as the owner of Not My President LLC, a calendar company selling calendars, t-shirts, mugs, and other items adorned with strong political messages. He earned an additional $10,000 thanks to his work for Vanguard Sports LLC, as per Daily Mail.
As the financial report shows, he purchased the $50,000 engagement ring — a glittering pear-shaped ring with a diamond-encrusted band, as per Daily Mail — using his American Express credit card. It’s understood that Tomi has returned the ring.
Tomi has yet to address her breakup on her social media pages. However, she was recently spotted with Jay Cutler, Kristin Cavallari’s ex and former Chicago Bears quarterback, at a bar in Nashville, Tenn., which sparked some new dating rumors. She has already taken it to Twitter to stop the gossip mill.
“I love it when the internet tells me who I’m dating. Good one,” she wrote on Friday, Sept. 4, 2020.
Brandon’s latest Instagram post offers a brief glimpse into a family get-together taking place in Nashville, Tenn. He has yet to delete the photos showing him with his ex. The last time he retweeted her was sometime around Aug. 29, 2020, which can potentially be interpreted as a sign indicating that they are still friends.
