Unfortunately, on September 1, 2017, Alex & Sierra announced to the public via their twitter handle that they have ceased being a music group and a couple. That was after about 8 long years of dating and working together!

According to the long tweet, a lot of things had changed over the years which caused them to end their romantic relationship sometime in 2016. They however, kept on as friends because they wanted to keep Alex & Sierra alive. However, their continuing to work together caused them emotional strains and affected their music output negatively. And so a year later, they decided to end everything and entirely go their separate ways.
