Chelsea Fairless & Lea DeLaria

Get ready for yet another celebrity breakup. This time, there’s a twist: it’s amicable to some degree. Lea DeLaria, who plays Carrie Big Boo Black on Orange Is the New Black, has announced that she and her fiancée Chelsea Fairless have called it off back in 2015.

They met in October 2012, during the first season of Orange Is the New Black. Things went on quickly, and the last thing they knew, they were engaged. However, the couple ended their romance just before they exchanged vows. They enlisted Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor to help break the news. Don’t get your hopes up, though. Fairless and Delaria announced the news in an Instagram video that featured It Must Have Been Love. It was playing over a still image of the couple’s “eerily prophetic” engagement photo – a manipulated photograph of the couple posing with Jackson and Taylor.
