Why Trevor Noah and Minka Kelly Broke Up After a Year of Dating

Surprise quarantine couple Minka Kelly and Trevor Noah have ended their private romance after a year of dating, Entertainment Tonight and People report. People broke the news of the breakup, with a source telling the outlet that Kelly and Noah were going their separate ways. Entertainment Tonight got a little more detail about why the split happened.

“Minka and Trevor have broken up,” Entertainment Tonight’s source said. “Their work commitments and careers are very different and they both felt like they should take time apart.” Kelly has been “leaning on friends, traveling and keeping busy since their split,” the source said, adding that her ex-boyfriend Noah “has been doing his own thing too.”

Kelly and Noah never spoke about their relationship publicly or confirmed it on their social media. But in January, People reported that their romance was very serious, with Noah buying a six-bedroom, 12-bathroom house in Bel Air for them to share at the end of December.
