Bret Michaels Cancels Engagement

Bret Michaels is back on the dating game.

His publicist says Bret has ended his engagement to Kristi Gibson, his on-off girlfriend of 16 years. The couple announced their engagement in 2010, just weeks after Michaels made a miraculous recovery from an almost fatal brain hemorrhage.

In a message posted to his official website Monday, Bret offers this message to fans:

“With all that Kristi, Raine, Jorja and I are going through, no doubt this is a very difficult time for all of us. I want all of you to know that Kristi and I remain great friends and committed loving parents to our daughters. I am blessed to have someone as great as Kristi in my life in any capacity.”

Bret and Kristi are the parents of two daughters, Raine Elizabeth, 12, and Jorja Bleu, 7.
