After 17 years as a couple, a year and a half engagement and two daughters, Bret's rep announced today that they called off the engagement.

"Bret Michaels and longtime girlfriend Kristi Gibson have called off their engagement at this time," the statement read. "Although the couple have separated they remain great friends and are committed to jointly raising their two daughters Raine Elizabeth and Jorja Bleu."

Bret very famously asked for her hand in marriage during the finale of his VH-1 show, Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It in December of 2010.
