Bradley Cooper, Renee Zellweger Split
Bradley Cooper and
Renee Zellweger have reached their limit.
After less than two years together, the couple have split, multiple sources confirm to
UsMagazine.com. Reps for both Cooper and Zellweger had no comment.
Limitless star Cooper, 36, first met Oscar winner Zellweger, 41, six years ago on the set of their thriller
Case 39 -- but romance didn't bloom until summer 2009.
In the interim, both stars had short-lived marriages: Cooper to actress
Jennifer Esposito, Zellweger to singer
Kenny Chesney. Both unions petered out in less than six months.
After being photographed dining together in NYC in July 2009, the duo were spotted kissing in Spain in early August; the next week, he took her to his Philadelphia home town.
The couple remained steadfastly tight-lipped about their relationship in the press. Asked about Zellweger by
Details magazine in the June/July 2010 issue, Cooper retorted, "I just can't."
"They're so down to earth and [they] spend time with family whenever possible," a source close to the couple told
Us last year. Indeed, Zellweger was spotted frequently in the L.A. area palling around with Cooper's mother.
"They're the real deal!" another insider said of the twosome at the time.
Doing press for his new movie
Limitless, Cooper stayed typically mum on his love. On the
Howard Stern Show on Monday, Howard Stern grilled the
Hangover star about Zellweger; Cooper simply denied any engagement plans.
