They'll always have Monte Carlo. And Sydney. And Disneyland.

After reps for both Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio confirmed their breakup exclusively to Us Weekly on Tuesday, many are wondering what exactly went wrong between the Gossip Girl actress, 24, and the Oscar nominee, 36, after such a hot and heavy courtship.

"Blake wasn't ready to move to the next level," an insider tells the new Us Weekly, out now.

After meeting last November and kicking off their globe-trotting romance in May of this year, "It was just too much, too quickly," the insider explains. "Blake wasn't ready to settle down."

Adds another source: "He's more mature. They're not in the same place right now."

i highly doubt blake wasn't ready to settle down with leo. what i suspect happened is his idea of settling down consisted of babies without marriage and blake's too old-fashioned to go for that setup. good for her if so.

He probably broke up with her because of that dress ... it's horrible!
