The pair was set to wed in Newport, Rhode Island, on June 24, 2017. But just one month ahead of their celebratory day, Liukin announced that they had decided to postpone their wedding, adding that the choice was career-based and they were still “very in love.” “My career has been so crazy, we both felt it was best to take a breather and focus on spending time with each other,” Liukin told PEOPLE, explaining that the decision was made months prior at the end of March. “We’re together, we’re engaged and we are postponing.” Nastia Liukin and Matt Lombardi.

We are both so excited for our future together.” Nastia Liukin Thrilled to Shut Down Her Skinny Shamers with American Ninja Warrior Success During their relationship, Liukin and the former professional ice hockey player, 36, launched an “inspirational app for gymnasts” together called Grander Sports. The app is designed to provide aspiring female athletes with access to people, resources, and communities that can help them achieve their dreams. As of right now, it is unclear if the pair intends to keep working on the business together as co-founders — though their Instagrams both currently list the title in their bios. The Russian-American gymnast, who was the 2008 Olympic individual all-around champion, has seemed to take moving on in stride since the split, posting a cryptic message on Instagram Monday. “‘I’m doin better than I ever was’… ” she captioned the image of herself posing in a black turtleneck, jeans, a Gucci belt, red shade of lipstick and matching nail polish. Liukin has not posted an Instagram photo with Lombardi since the beginning of June. As for her former fiancé, he supported Liukin when she hosted the Grander Summit in August — the event coincides with the pairs’ Grander Sports app — and moderated a professional athletes panel alongside fellow gymnasts Laurie Hernandez, Nancy Kerrigan, Jordyn Wieber, and Shawn Johnson East. Since then, however, Liukin has not been featured on Lombardi’s Instagram account.
