Billionaire Democratic donor Stephen Cloobeck has reportedly ended his engagement to Adva Lavie, a model more than three decades his junior, amid a criminal case accusing her of targeting wealthy people through dating apps. The development matters because their high-profile relationship had drawn attention to Lavie’s pending theft allegations and to Cloobeck’s political connections.

Lavie, 28, has pleaded not guilty to felony charges alleging that she stole from older men and younger women in Los Angeles County after meeting them online; the allegations have not been proven in court. Cloobeck, 64, had proposed in February and had previously said the planned marriage was still going ahead despite the case.
