Deductions & credits

I have a variation on this.  My daughter purchased a house with her fiancee.  The fiancee decided to break off the engagement and they sold the house before two years. He paid the majority of the expenses but and was compensated for it, but my daughter received her portion of the appreciation on the house.  My question is - can the dissolution of their engagement be considered an 'unforeseen' event in order to get the exclusion?
