No More Wedding Bells For Cannon, Ebanks

Regardless of who you are, if you're going to flash "Will you marry me?" on an enormous screen in the middle of Times Square in New York, you probably should be sure about it.

Months after a public proposal in Times Square, rapper-actor Nick Cannon and Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks have parted ways -- for the time being.

"Selita and Nick are taking a break to focus on their careers but still very much love each other and remain the best of friends," Ebanks' publicist, Melissa Raubvogel, said Thursday.

No further details were provided.

Cannon popped the question in May. The 26-year-old rapper-actor got down on bent knee as the words "Selita will you marry me?" flashed on a giant TV screen in Times Square. He then presented Ebanks with a 15-carat diamond ring that he helped design.

They met at a Super Bowl party in Miami in February.

In the past, Cannon, the rapper, comedian, actor and host of MTV's "Wild 'N Out" has been romantically linked with socialite Kim Kardashian and singer-actress Christina Milian.

Cannon's screen roles include "Drumline."
