(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Bradley Cooper and Rene Zellweger have reportedly split up.

The pair had been dating for less than two years when they decided to call it quits, according to US magazine.

Bradley, 36, and Rene, 41, met in the summer of 2009 and though they never officially confirmed their relationship, were often spotted out together. There were even suggestions of marriage between the couple, who have both experienced short lived unions in the past.

In 2007, Bradley divorced actress Jennifer Esposito after a few months, and Rene split from singer Kenny Chesney after only four months together.

However, speculation was rife that a split was imminent, following an Oscar Awards party in February. Both attended, but failed to acknowledge each other.

Only last year Bradley spoke gushingly of Rene while promoting 2010 film Case 39.

"I can't say enough about her. I just love her. I [loved] coming to work. I love acting with her. I can learn so much from her." (C) Cover Media
