'Off Campus' star Mika Abdalla, actor Jake Short end engagement

Off Campus star Mika Abdalla and actor Jake Short have broken off their engagement.

In an exclusive report by Us Weekly, a rep for Abdalla told the outlet that they are "no longer together."

“Due to recent interest in Mika’s personal life it would feel remiss to not address that her and Jake are no longer together,” the rep said. “They continue to support each other and remain on friendly terms, and kindly ask for privacy and respect.”

The couple started dating after meeting on the set of Sex Appeal in 2021. 

"I came over just to say hi, and we ended up talking, not about the script, just talking and getting to know each other for hours," Abdalla told film production company, American High. "I was like, wait, this guy is actually really cool and sweet and great."

She also recalled that they ran lines in her hotel room with a bottle of wine. "I was operating on the assumption that he was into me, because he was bringing the bottle of wine," she said. "Come to find out, that was not his intention at all. He just wanted to drink his wine!" The couple have been together ever since.

Their engagement was teased on social media in 2025 by Short's manager Brian Medavoy, who wrote: "An awesome day yesterday celebrating the next chapter for my longtime client, Jake Short and his fiancée, Mika Abdalla. From set to real life—watching your journey has been a joy. Here’s to forever.”

Abdalla is currently filming Off Campus Season 2, where the storyline shifts to focus on her character, Allie, and Stephen Kalyn's character, Dean.

“I’m just really looking forward to digging deeper into who Allie and Dean are. They both kind of have these fronts, these personas that are hard to kind of crack through. They are kind of stereotypes of themselves, if that makes sense,” she told Us. “But in the books, there’s so much beneath the surface of Dean and there’s so much beneath the surface of Allie.”

Abdalla continued: “When it is time for our season, I’m excited to dig emotionally into that a little bit more. [We] see Allie and Dean as their exteriors a lot in season 1. And while that is fun, and they are super fun characters to play, I think as actors, selfishly, both of us are really excited to like, get psychological.”

Meanwhile, Short stars in the romantic drama indie film Lost With You, which won the Best Indie Film from Los Angeles Film Awards in 2025.
