Catriona Gray and Sam Milby are 'facing some challenges in their relationship'—management

Catriona Gray and Sam Milby's agency confirmed that the couple are going through a rough time, asking fans to "respect their privacy."

In a statement released on Feb. 28, Cornerstone Entertainment addressed the rumors surrounding the relationship of the couple.

"We at Cornerstone, as the talent management agency representing artists Sam Milby and Catriona Gray, would like to address the recent rumors surrounding their relationship," it said.

"While it is true that Sam and Catriona are currently facing some challenges in their relationship, they are actively working on resolving these issues together," Cornerstone continued.

Cornerstone added that they are requesting the public for privacy "as they navigate through this situation."

"We appreciate the concern and well-wishes from all those who have shown support for the couple," the statement ended.

Rumors have been circulating about the split of the engaged couple coming to light after some eagle-eyed social media users noticed that the beauty queen wasn't wearing her engagement ring in her recent photos.

However, Catriona recently posted a picture with her dogs on Instagram, tagging her partner Sam, seemingly addressing relationship rumors.

Recently, entertainment reporter Ogie Diaz reported a possible break-up for the couple on his vlog, though they have been spotted together at events, including one last weekend where they attended a trade launch event with fellow Cornerstone Entertainment talents, Isabel Oli-Pratts and John Pratts. Isabel shared a carousel post on Instagram which included a snap of her with Catriona and Sam.
