Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz has split from her boyfriend Texas sex symbol Matthew McConaughey, reports People Magazine:

Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz have decided to spend time apart, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

The couple “have decided to take time off as a couple. Due to busy work schedules and so much time apart, they mutually decided four weeks ago that separating was the best thing to do at this time,” according to a joint statement from the couple to PEOPLE.

“They’re very good friends, but they haven’t been able to be together,” a source close to Cruz tells PEOPLE. “Who knows what the future holds.”

The biggest factor influencing the break appears to be the fact that the couple saw each other very infrequently:

(Penelope) said it has been too hard to have a relationship when you see the other person every six weeks,” adds the source.

The couple last saw each other in February when McConaughey visited Cruz on location in Spain.

What’s that saying? “Amor de lejos es amor de pendejos”. These guys seem to have figured that out.
