Their 'hectic schedules' are said to be behind the break-up, and they're reportedly 'remaining good friends'.

A source tells The Sun: ‘For the past couple of years they’ve both been finding it difficult to make proper time for one another and, with their schedules showing no signs of slowing down, have decided to go their separate ways.

‘It’s sad but they remain supportive of one another.’
