The couple got engaged in May of 2016 after dating for over five years. They had always been very private about their relationship and never told the media what wedding plans they had. The couple also kept their relationship off of social media for the most part. Both Larson and Greenwald still have the very few pictures of each other up on their Instagrams.

E! News reported that it was Greenwald who officially ended the relationship, stating that “the director and musician recently called off their engagement."
