Petra Nemcova and James Blunt are over, PEOPLE has confirmed.
“They split in February. It’s very amicable,” a source close to Blunt tells PEOPLE.”They remain good friends.”
A rep for Nemcova had no comment.
The model, 27, and the “You’re Beautiful” singer, 32, were last seen together over Oscar week in February, when they hit a slew of parties. They celebrated his birthday and also went to Elton’s John’s Oscar bash, where Blunt performed and Nemcova looked on.
But in recent weeks, Blunt has become a regular fixture in the Hollywood nightlife scene, hitting the town solo. He was spotted on the same night – March 21 – at both Les Deux, where he hung with pal Robbie Williams, and later at Teddy’s, where he partied with Lindsay Lohan, Kelly Osbourne and Amy Winehouse.
According to a clubgoer at Teddy’s, “Lindsay and James were never affectionate, but they did seem flirty, standing right next to each other, and constantly talking.” Lohan and Blunt were part of a group of people who left together at 2:15 a.m.
Nemcova and Blunt met in December 2005 and started dating the following year. In November 2006, rumors circulated that they’d split, but the couple denied the stories.
“We never got separated,” Nemcova told PEOPLE at the time. “There was some stuff going on in the press, but it didn’t come from a right source – obviously. We’re very much in love.”
Blunt was the Czech model’s first serious relationship since her longtime beau, photographer Simon Atlee, died in Thailand in the 2004 tsunami. (Nemcova survived by clinging to a palm tree for eight hours, and suffered a broken pelvis.)
Blunt was recently in the news when police said he was involved in a car accident outside a pre-Oscar party in which a man’s foot was run over. Blunt’s rep says the singer was steering through a crowd of paparazzi.
PS: Thanks for being patient with me today guys! So I’m finally at the beach. We left the house around 1:30ish – and it took almost 3 hours to get here (tons of stops along the way). So we FINALLY get here, and when we go to check in, we find out that our room is not ready yet! I say – “I have been in the car with the kids for 3 HOURS now, we need to get into our room.” He just looks at me, and says “Sorry.” So we went for yet ANOTHER little drive. We tried to go out on the beach but it was FREEZING. Too cold for the kids.
So anyways…I’m in my hotel room now. I’m sitting next to the patio window – which is open so I can see/hear the ocean. I can also hear the boys screaming on the beach, because Troy just took them out for a walk. Ahhh, at least they’re not screaming here next to me in the hotel room.
Anyway – I’m still going to post as much as I can. I have a laptop just for this reason. Thanks for haning in there today! Now I’ll get some posting done!
