Charlie Sheen and his fiancee Brett Rossi decided to go separate ways ahead of their wedding. The "Anger Management" actor announces their separation in a statement released on Thursday, October 16, saying that Rossi is a "terrific" girl.

"Scotty and I had a great year together as we traveled the world and crossed a lot of things off our bucket list. She's a terrific gal - but we've mutually decided to go our separate ways and not spend the rest of our lives together," reads the statement. "I've decided that my children deserve my focus more than a relationship does right now. I still have a tremendous fondness for Scotty and I wish her all the best."

Sheen and Rossi, whose real name is Scottine Ross, started dating last November. The pair announced their engagement in February. "Yes! We are engaged! He even was a gentleman and got down on one knee. I was not expecting it at all. We had a beautiful Valentine's day and he proposed to me early this morning after we watched the sun rise," Ross told E! News back then. Their wedding reportedly was supposed to take place in November.

Sheen was previously married to Donna Peele, Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller. He shares two daughters with Richards and twin sons with Mueller. He is also a father to a daughter with ex-girlfriend Paula Profit.
