After a two year relationship, actor George Clooney and his Italian girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis have split.
In a joint statement, the couple reported: “We are not together anymore. It’s very difficult and very personal and we hope everyone can respect our privacy.”
Things may have gone south for the Italian model after she did an interview for the June 2011 issue of Chi magazine. She said: “I am a firm believer in marriage…In the future I will be married, but for the time being I am happy as I am. I don’t need anything to confirm how happy I am. Thanks to my man, my fairytale is continuing. We are a couple that never gets bored.”
Earlier this year, the Hollywood A-lister, who recently turned 50, shared his view of matrimony with Piers Morgan: “I was married…I gave it a shot.”
Clooney has made a habit of breaking up with girlfriends who share too much information. He dumped Sarah Larson, a Vegas cocktail waitress and aspiring model, after she dished about their relationship in a Harper’s Bazaar interview and photo shoot session in May 2008.
Ironically, Canalis was sporting a tattoo while cruising aboard the yacht of Roberto Cavalli last month. The sentiment reads ‘Pain is Love’, not to be confused with Love is a Pain…
