The magic is over.
Alex Pettyfer and his girlfriend, model Marloes Horst, have split up after two years together.
The Magic Mike star, 25, and the 27-year-old model both took to Instagram to announce they were going their separate ways, revealing that their hectic schedules were behind the split, which was a “mutual decision."
"I wouldn’t normally do this as I like to keep my life private,” the British actor wrote. “Despite what may be written, Marloes and I split up due to her being a crazy hot supermodel and her and my work just keeping us apart. It was a mutual decision, We are incredible close and love each other tremendously !!! We are best friends and who knows what the future holds."
He then added the hashtags ”#shewillalwaysbefamily #factisgreaterthanfiction.“
Horst, meanwhile, said that the two opted to take matters "into our own hands” and make the announcement themselves to set the record straight.
“Despite of what some papers may say, Alex and i split due to our busy schedules,” she said in her Instagram post. “It’s sadning to read these negative articles since we are very close and love each other dearly! So we took it into our own hands to say it was a mutual decision, we are best friends and will always remain each others family.”
The pair were first linked in 2014, and raised their profile after Horst posted an Instagram pic with Pettyfer as they celebrated his birthday.
“Happy birthday baby @a1pettyfer #birthdayboy,” she captioned the cozy snapshot.
