Ricky Whittle was "too busy" for his ex-girlfriend Rumer Willis.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ actor reportedly broke up with Rumer after his work schedule started to fill up after he landed a regular role on the US television show, ‘The 100’.
According to The Sun newspaper, a source said: "Ricky and Rumer’s relationship cooled recently.
"Amazingly, it was Ricky who was getting too busy with work and didn’t have the time to spend with her any more. He’d often be filming 12 to 15 hours a day on ‘The 100’ in Canada, while she was in LA."
The insider then revealed that the 26-year-old actress has been fine with the split and is even reigniting things with a former flame.
The source told the newspaper: "Rumer’s been fine about it and has barely mentioned him to friends.
"She is talking a lot to another ex, Jayson and going out with pals."
Ricky was rumoured to be close to Rumer’s showbiz parents, although the source added that he while he’d got on famously with his girlfriend’s mum, Demi Moore, he had been "terrified" to meet Rumer’s dad, ‘Die Hard’ actor, Bruce Willis.
The insider shared: "It’s a shame because he met Demi, who loved him. He was terrified of meeting Bruce."
Ricky had sparked speculation that he had split up with his ‘House Bunny’ beau after he tweeted a cryptic message in September.
He wrote: "It’s better to have your heart broken by walking away than to have it break daily waiting for things to get better. (sic)"
