It’s over for Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake

In a statement made on Thursday, January 11, Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz officially announced that they have called it quits. Diaz, 34 and Timberlake, 25 had been together for four years. They had met in April 2003 at Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.

“It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we’ve spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media,” the pair said. “We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship, and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another.”

There had been numerous rumors of a split in their relationship earlier. But in spite of all this they had stayed on. In fact Timberlake in July 2004 had filed a libel suit against the British tabloid News of the World when it claimed that he had cheated with model Lucy Clarkson.

Cameron Diaz sued the U K tabloid ‘The Sun’ for linking her with Shane Nickerson, who produced her MTV adventure show ‘Trippin’

Timberlake in September 2006 had told Ellen DeGeneres that she could buy a dress for their wedding but went to quip - “The only thing is, you’ll have to stay the same size for the next 15 years.”

When Diaz appeared in the Timberlake show - this was her comment on marriage - “I’m a commitment-phobe. Don’t want to do it.”
