Jesse James and Kat Von D have broken up.

Their engagement, announced in January, will not end as planned – in a late summer wedding on the one-year anniversary of when they started dating.

The couple confirmed the split themselves.

“I am so sad because I really do love her,” James, who has been married three times before, tells People. “The distance between us was just too much.”

Last night Kat tweeted, “I am no longer w Jesse, and out of respect for him, his family and myself, thats all the info I’d like to share. Thanks for respecting that.”
