Carrie and Fabian had been dating since September 2020

The TV host documented their travels on social media and revealed that it had been great to get away amid her health battle – which has resulted in her having to take time off from The Talk to focus on her recovery.

Back in April, Carrie dropped the bombshell that she was temporarily stepping down from her role on the daytime show.

Sharing a video on Instagram, she said: "Hi everyone. So I wanted to let you know personally that I have decided to take a leave of absence from The Talk to focus on my wellbeing.
