Minka Kelly and Derek Jeter (Pacific Coast News)One of Hollywood's hottest couples is no more: Actress Minka Kelly and baseball star Derek Jeter have called it quits after three years together. The actress' rep confirmed the news to
People magazine.
"They care about each other and it was amicable," says a source. "They're still friends."
While no official statement has been released by the couple, we can easily see this being an "our schedules got in the way," or "the distance was too much" kind of split. After all, Jeter is constantly training and traveling with the Yankees (Kelly watched him get his 3,000th hit this summer), while she is busy filming the upcoming
Charlie's Angels TV reboot.
While these two have never been forthcoming with details about their relationship, there weren't any indications that there was trouble in paradise. In fact, the couple most recently dodged another round of engagement rumors. They also joked about the actress' lack of baseball knowledge not long ago. Perhaps
that was the problem.
Kelly and Jeter began dating in May 2008 and each have a long list of high-profile exes. The Yankees stud has been linked to no shortage of beautiful women over the years, including Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, Adriana Lima, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, and more. John Mayer, Chris Evans, and Donald Faison have reportedly dated the brunette actress.
