Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger have reached their limit.
After less than two years together, the couple have split, multiple sources confirm to UsMagazine.com. Reps for both Cooper and Zellweger had no comment.

Limitless star Cooper, 36, first met Oscar winner Zellweger, 41, six years ago on the set of their thriller Case 39 -- but romance didn't bloom until summer 2009.
In the interim, both stars had short-lived marriages: Cooper to actress Jennifer Esposito, Zellweger to singer Kenny Chesney. Both unions petered out in less than six months. (Find out how Bradley explained his short marriage to Esposito.)
After being photographed dining together in NYC in July 2009, the duo were spotted kissing in Spain in early August; the next week, he took her to his Philadelphia home town.

The couple remained steadfastly tight-lipped about their relationship in the press. Asked about Zellweger by Details magazine in the June/July 2010 issue, Cooper retorted, "I just can't."
"They're so down to earth and [they] spend time with family whenever possible," a source close to the couple told Us last year. Indeed, Zellweger was spotted frequently in the L.A. area palling around with Cooper's mother.
"They're the real deal!" another insider said of the twosome at the time.

During press for his new movie Limitless, Cooper stayed typically mum on his love. On the Howard Stern Show on Monday, Howard Stern grilled the Hangover star about Zellweger; Cooper simply denied any engagement plans.
Tell Us What You Think
28@MardiWex I found ads for Blowout deals all over and I managed to secure a genuine ipad for $141.29, bit more than the 90% off they say but still awesome…but you cant just bid 50 cent's then walk away…you wont win…but if you have in mind to spend around $100, and stay on top of it until its over then your on to something. I use two sites, both are good, BidsGo.com and SnagBids.com
I knew that Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper would never marry - she never should have moved in with him and played house. She should have kept dating to keep her options open. Always with his family - he was never with hers...
Maybe it finally dawned on him "oh right I could be banging girls half her age" LOL that's awful, but true! She might look good for 41, but she's STILL 41 on the inside...those eggs ain't gettin' any younger!! Guaranteed within 6 months she'll pull a Sandra Bullock and adopt a baby (good move, little Louis is about the cutest frikin baby i've ever seen!)
The break up was not about looks, it was about the immediate future. Renee is 41 and wants to get married and have kids right away and Brad being 36 is not interested in having those as priorities at this point in his life.
edit for comment below..("the only people who SAY size doesn't matter don't have size")...should of proof read
hahahahah look at ana throw a fit! its absolutely hilarious!! the only reason i checked this out was cuz i just saw limitless and a girl posted it, but seriously that made my night! Just like the saying "the only ppl who people size doesn't matter dont have size" i think the same can be said for you but for looks. I could say more probably true things about you judging by your little fit you've thrown on a pretty much worthless article that doesn't amount to anything...but nahhhh ;)
Well said, Ana. :)
shes not ugly and shes not attractive either hahahaha...
What school did you guys go to? Bunch of morons. How old are you? 16, 17 years old? Definitely,this is not about anyone's looks; they were together for more than two years and they were not married, so they were attracted to each other. Before saying all the crap you're saying and since you all have such a high self-esteem, take a look at your mothers. How did they get married with those awful faces, anyway? Or because they are your mothers they immediately become gorgeous? You are pathetic! According to your opinions, only the most beautiful people have the right to have a boyfriend. Someone must have done your mothers and yourselves a big favor. Please save us the pain, and don't post your pictures: you look trashy, UGLY! Look in the mirror. How do you like it when people judge you by your looks? Does it feel good? The problem is that you're not only ugly, you're stupid, too.
If it's meant to be it's meant to be... I think Bradley Cooper makes a very cute couple with Jessica Biel
She is the homeliest "leading" actress in hollywood. I have no idea how she made it. And with that lame haircut she just makes herself look worse. It never would've worked between them because he's way too hot for her. John Smith, it's not hard to be better looking than her, so far every single person with a pic who has commented here are better looking than her. If you are not, then wow, that's all I'm sayin.
John Smith, you have no idea what anyone here looks like, so your comment is pointless and nobody is hurt by it.
Its better to end things now than divorce later. Good luck to them both.
He's too hot for her.
You stay strong Renee! I think you're awesome
YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!! He was not way too good for her!!! He don't want to marry her.
i was hoping they would get married or something like that, oh well.
Yay!!!!!!!!
I cant believe how cruel some of you people are. I'm sure Renee is a hell of a lot better looking that you all or me. i hope someone dumps you guys for your looks, and then maybe you'll know how to have feelings.
Good news - another SHOWMANCE is over.
