Janel Parrish & Payson Lewis Break Up — Over Val Chmerkovskiy?

OMG! So sad — Janel Parrish and her boyfriend of about a year, Payson Lewis, just called it quits. He announced the news on Instagram with a super sad message and we can’t help but wonder if it’s over her rumored romance with her ‘DWTS’ partner, Val Chmerkovskiy!

Payson Lewis has no problem telling the world that he’s still in love with Janel Parrish, the 25-year-old Pretty Little Liars star who’s currently shimmying her way through Dancing with the Stars. On Oct. 16, he took to Instagram to announce their split.

“All good things must come to an end. Thank you for the happiest year and a half of my life. I will always love you @janelparrish and I wish you nothing but the best. Forever #teamjanel,” Payson captioned an Instagram pic with his ex-girlfriend.

This definitely comes at an interesting time, as she is currently competing on DWTS with Val — and many think they’re together! She actually posted a pic just seven hours after her ex did, showing that she was on what looked like a double date with Val’s brother, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Meryl Davis!

She also went on Access Hollywood Live the day before to take a lie detector test with Val, and of course they asked about their relationship and the kiss, which we’re still not sure if it landed on her lips or cheek.

“Her face is just so small and her lips are so big that anywhere I’m going to kiss is going to land on her lips,” he said in the interview. You can watch them take the lie detector test here!

Do you think the break up was over Val? Do you think they’re dating? Or maybe trying to? Let us know!
