Life & Style can exclusively reveal that Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger has called it quits with her fiancé and boyfriend of six and a half years, Andy Friedman.
"I want a kid now and Andy doesn't," Patti tells Life & Style about why she and her longtime beau have decided to go their separate ways. "My dealbreaker has always been kids."
Patti and Andy, who got engaged on her birthday last year, May 31, 2009, initially set a 2010 wedding date, but continued to push back their plans when Patti couldn't get Andy to commit to raising a family.
"Ever since our first date, he knew I wanted kids, and then something along the way changed," says the candid cupid.
"Andy's a great guy and we'll always remain friends, but he wants me to be something that I can't be. We're better friends than lovers."
The third generation matchmaker is confident that her real soulmate is just around the corner. "A good guy is out there for me, I know it," says Patti, who still hopes to be a stepmom or adopt. "A life without kids has no meaning to me. I think the most important job in the world is being a parent or stepparent!"
