Zootopia Cosplayers Reveal Breakup After 9 Years, Prepare for Sequel

As excitement builds for the upcoming release of Zootopia 2 in November 2025, a pair of dedicated cosplayers have been making waves with their elaborate tributes to the beloved 2016 animated film. The co-hosts of the Ride podcast have been sharing their professional-quality photos and videos showcasing their meticulously crafted Zootopia costumes in various locations around a New York City subway station.

However, the celebratory mood has been tempered by the recent announcement of the couple's breakup. Just last week, one of the cosplayers, Skinner, took to the Ride podcast to share the news that he and his longtime boyfriend, Terrence O'Connor, had amicably split after 9 years of dating. Despite the emotional reveal, the pair expressed their continued love and respect for each other.

The cosplayers' elaborate ensembles, which include intricate prosthetics, have been a highlight for their social media followers. Skinner even gave his TikTok fans a 360-degree view of their Zootopia costumes, set to the film's original song "Try Everything" by Shakira. This creative display comes just one month before the highly anticipated release of Zootopia 2, which is set to hit theaters on November 26, 2025.
