Rocker BRET MICHAELS has called off his engagement to the woman who nursed him through a series of medical emergencies in 2010.
Kristi Gibson, the Poison star's longtime girlfriend and the mother of Michaels' two daughters, has split from the rock star, ending a 16-year romance.
The 49-year-old singer asked Gibson to be his wife in December, 2010 as part of the finale of his VH1 reality show Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It.
A spokesman for Michaels says, "Although the couple have separated, they remain great friends and are committed to jointly raising their two daughters, Raine and Jorja."
