Freida Pinto and Dev Patel split?!
Big buzz in the celeb world: Freida Pinto and Dev Patel have broken up after six years together.
Us Weekly broke the news, saying they've "been done for a while."
Their reps did not respond to our requests for comment, so we can still hold out hope. But in the meantime, everyone's really sad about it.
Here's why:
They were a cute, romantic celebrity couple.
They found each other and fame on the set of Slumdog Millionaire. But they seemed to handle it well.
As they fell in love with each other, we fell in love with them.
Freida told Interview magazine four years ago they were "soul mates":
"I don’t think anybody—not even family or friends—can understand what the two of us have been through. As beautiful as it is, there are parts of it that just become a bit tiring to deal with. The paparazzi, for example, and not having privacy. He made a statement unknowingly once and he said, “Oh, she is like my soul mate,” and we were not dating or anything back then, and it became this big hoopla. Like, “Oh my god! How could he have said that? What does that mean?” But I guess he was right in a way; we are soul mates."
But she said in a different interview - five years ago - that it's tough being a couple in the spotlight. When asked if they were still together:
"Yes . . . I find it very hard to say yes or no quite openly, because people are never satisfied. One day they write us off as saying we're not together and the next day we're together and getting married. It's so bizarre and stupid. I don't want to feed stupidity with more stupidity. I just let it be."
But now they're apparently moving on.
Freida, 30, has a new bob.
And Dev, 24, is wrapping up The Newsroom. The series finale airs Sunday on HBO.
