They met on the set of the Hulu filmSex Appealin 2021 and got engaged in 2025. A representative for Abdalla recently confirmed that the two are no longer together.
'Due to recent interest in Mika's personal life it would feel remiss to not address that [she] and Jake are no longer together. They continue to support each other and remain on friendly terms, and kindly ask for privacy and respect,' a rep for Abdalla toldUS Weekly.
Additionally, a source toldDeuxMoithat the split happened 'shortly beforeOff Campuspremiered at the beginning of May.' According toDeuxMoi,sources also claimed that it was not Short who ended the relationship and that he is 'very saddened by the breakup.'
'They were a really great couple it just didn't work out and they remain on good terms,' a source said.
Shortly after the news of their breakup, an old video began circulating online, showing Short calling Abdalla 'some b—' during a 2024 podcast appearance.
In a 2024 episode ofThe Sit and Chatpodcast, hosted by Short and fellow Disney Channel alum Bradley Steven Perry, the latter asked Short how he would describe Abdalla.
'I have two words... I'd be like, "Some b—,"' he said.
The comment appeared to surprise both Perry and his now-wife, Natasha Bure Perry, with Perry responding awkwardly, 'Oh my god.'
Abdalla then pointed to Bure Perry and told Short, 'So, she's the best person [Perry] knows, the best person he's ever met, and I'm "some b—?"'
