ex-fiancés
Called-off engagement partners
Ex-fiancés are former fiancés—people to whom one was once engaged to marry, but the engagement ended before the wedding.
The term usually appears when someone has more than one: She introduced her ex-fiancés to each other at the party.
A single former fiancé is more commonly called an ex-fiancé.
