TV presenter and fashionista Alexa Chung has split from Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner after four years together.
Hectic schedules are getting the blame for Chung and Turner’s surprising split announcement.
Chung, 27, has will soon be setting up home in New York where she is set to front a fashion TV show for media boss Harry Weinstein for the rest of the summer, while Turner, 25, is on a world tour with the band. It would appear a long-distance relationship was not an option for the trendy couple.
Alexa Chung will be moving to New York as a single gal - how very Carrie Bradshaw of her!
A friend of Alexa revealed: “Things haven’t been going well and they haven’t seemed like a couple for the past few weeks. At Glastonbury festival, they barely said a word to each other.”
They continued: “Alexa was out seeing bands with all her buddies like Pixie Geldof and Fifi Brown, while Alex was on his tour bus chilling with his band. They really wanted to give it a go to hold it together and seemed to be getting back on track – but things got bad again and they both decided enough was enough."
Friends say the split between Chung and Turner has been on the cards for weeks
“They want to stay friends so it’s best to split now. They’ve been through a lot together and all their friends are sad they’ve called time as a couple.”
A spokesperson for Chung confirmed: “It’s completely amicable – but yes it’s true. They have split.”
