Fashion influencer Danielle Bernstein, founder of the popular brand WeWoreWhat, has officially ended her engagement and called off her wedding to Cooper Weisman. The news broke on January 30, 2026, when Bernstein shared a heartfelt statement on her Instagram Stories, announcing that the couple was stepping away from their relationship with love and respect.
Bernstein revealed that there was no major dramatic reason for the split, explaining that sometimes a relationship simply isn’t ‘the right forever.’ She expressed uncertainty about the future but emphasized that the decision took courage, and she requested privacy and grace for both parties during this time. The announcement came as a surprise to many followers, given the couple’s recent engagement and public displays of affection.
The pair first began dating in 2023 after Bernstein hinted at a new relationship on social media. They kept their romance relatively private initially, but it became more public over time. Weisman, a director of tenant representation at Newmark in New York City, proposed to Bernstein in June 2025 on a rooftop in NYC, presenting her with a pear-shaped diamond engagement ring.
Following the proposal, Bernstein enthusiastically shared the news on Instagram, writing, ‘YES YES A MILLION TIMES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ The couple celebrated their engagement with a party in October 2025, which Bernstein described as ‘elegant, ridiculously fun, and so special.’ They had been actively planning their wedding, with Bernstein documenting aspects of the journey for her followers.
Rumors about the split had been circulating for weeks prior to the official announcement. Page Six reported that Weisman had told acquaintances the wedding was ‘on hold,’ and internet sleuths speculated that the breakup might be linked to Weisman’s refusal to sign a prenuptial agreement. However, Bernstein’s statement did not confirm these rumors, focusing instead on the mutual respect in their decision.
Bernstein’s relationship with Weisman was notably more public than her previous four-year relationship with financier Anthony Adler, which ended in April 2023. She had kept Adler’s name private during their time together, whereas she frequently posted about Weisman after their relationship became public. This shift in her approach to sharing personal life highlights her evolving comfort with public scrutiny.
As Bernstein navigates this personal transition, she continues to run her successful fashion brand, WeWoreWhat, which has made her a prominent figure in the influencer industry. Fans and followers have expressed support on social media, and the news has sparked discussions about the pressures of public relationships in the digital age. Moving forward, Bernstein is likely to maintain her focus on her business while seeking privacy in her personal life.
