But the thing is, since then the two appear to be on radio silence when it comes to sharing their images together on Instagram. They are not deleting the pictures on their respective pages, but neither are the two sharing any more new images. It's been almost eight months, and the two appear to be broken up with the actress unfollowing Dylan while he still follows her on Instagram.
The six years of relationship seemingly came to an end this year, which is a bummer considering how great the two were together, but not all relationships are meant to go the distance.
