Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen have split after 10 years.

The Hollywood couple officially split as Bilson is living in Los Angeles while Christensen is in Toronto.

Bilson E! news later:

“Yes, they are officially done within the last few weeks,” a high school friend of Bilson told E! News exclusively. “It was a gradual buildup of issues and problems. They were in agreement it was time to move on as a couple.”




“They have very different lifestyles and interests,” the source said. “Rachel is very social and likes to hang out with friends. Hayden is reclusive and off the grid. She accepted that for a long time, but sometimes it was a lot to handle. Hayden can gets depressed and is extremely neurotic and it was bringing her down. She felt like she wanted something different and easier. She tried to make it work for years but just got tired of this being her life.”

“They’ve been on the outs for a couple of months,” another source told Us Weekly, which first reported the breakup. “They are completely, officially done.”

The former star met Christensen on the set of Jumper and their romance sparked. They got engaged in December, 2008 and called it off in August, 2010.

After a break, the couple got back together in 2010 and had a daughter, Briar Rose Christensen in October of 2014.




“They will be on good terms because they have to be for Briar,” the first source told E! News. “Rachel is very close with Hayden’s family and has spent a lot of time with them in Canada and Barbados. She hopes that they can still be a family and continue to do things together.”

“There’s a Disney reference there I suppose,” Christensen said during an appearance in 2015. “The original Sleeping Beauty is called Briar Rose. Rachel—we both love Disney—but Rachel especially was very keen on the name.”

Christensen has gushed over the joy their daughter brings. In 2015, he told E! News, “I have this little angel in my life now, and Rachel and I are so thrilled. We don’t sleep as much as we used to, but it’s all so worth it.”

When he was asked about the best part about being a dad, Christensen simply said, “Everything.”

Bilson opened up on the joys of motherhood and how grateful she was to have Christensen by her side.

When she was pregnant, she told Health.com, “He’s so incredibly supportive and considerate. It’s so basic—that should be there. Because these things are so much more important when you’re older. I’ve been in my relationship for seven years, so we’ve grown up together in a way. This is my partner, my support, just there for me no matter what. And vice versa.”
