The singer and her music exec fiancé, Ryan Press, split before the singer’s 35th birthday in February, her rep confirmed to ABC News.

“They are both taking a step back actually. That’s what they both wanted to do,” the rep said. “They’re friends and I think it’s the mature thing to do in a relationship is just evaluate where you are and move forward. The great thing is that they are friends and definitely that’s an important part and he’s still supportive of what she’s doing.”

Norwood, who has a daughter from a previous relationship, and Press announced their engagement last year.

Last month, her brother, singer Ray J, told ABC News Radio that he’s “protective” over his older sister.

“Every guy is crazy,” he said, when asked whom he’d like to see her date. “I know I am so I just want to make sure she’s happy and then I got her back — whatever she wants to do.”
