Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald have split after just three years together.

"After much consideration, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald are ending their marriage. They have been living separately for the past six months due to work obligations," her rep said in a statement. "They will continue to share their love of music, and are still working on their debut album, I'm Not Falling, releasing in 2014. They remain best friends and look forward to their continued journey together."

Still, we wonder if this is really over, because just two days ago the Twilight actress chatted with Us Weekly at the LeSport Sac 40th anniversary event in New York City and said of her marriage, "We don't have rules, but I think it's just important to focus on what you love. We love just hanging out. He's my best friend in the world and I love him so much."

The couple met at the March 2011 premiere of Little Red Riding Hood, and after seven months of dating, they walked down the aisle at a ranch in Malibu.
