Breaking the news on her Twitter page late Monday, L.A. Ink tattoo artist von D, 29, offered a short statement out of respect for her former fiance.
"I am no longer w Jesse, and out of respect for him, his family and myself, thats all the info I'd like to share. Thanks for respecting that," von D (real name: Katherine von Drachenberg) blogged.
Engaged since January, von D and James, 41, first stepped out as a couple in August 2010: making out at a Las Vegas museum exhibit and then holding hands in Fredericksburg, Texas.
In a promo that began airing earlier this month for her TLC series, L.A. Ink, von D gushed about her then-fiance. "I feel like I'm the luckiest girl," she said in the clip. "I don't care what anybody thinks."

This would have been the second marriage for von D and the fourth marriage for James, whose exes include Karla James, porn actress Janine Lindemulder and, most famously, Sandra Bullock.
James' six-year marriage to Bullock famously ended with the revelation of his affair with numerous women -- including Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, a stripper with a similar plethora of tattoos.
Tell Us What You Think
51She was his rebound girl. Didn't she realize that smh
Hm maybe I was too hard on her...
@Jennifer Solloway- I guess you misread the news... He dumpeed her! Not only did she date a loser, she was dumped by the loser.
@Kylie and Kristen- Exactly how I feel. Talking about Sandra like she was better than her... "I'm the luckiest girl in the world..." She should've kept her mouth shut and she wouldn't look so bad today. I really liked her, but after her negative comments about Sandra, I lost all respect for her.
they r both fugly
Ok, I am going to try and post this one more time. So many of you were surprised on the broken engagement of Jesse and Kat, when there wasn't any real engagement. He thought by doing this, he could provoke Sandra Bullock to return to him, Surprise, Surprise, she wasn't buying it. So..Jesse and Kat decided to end their phone engagement. End of story. Learn to read between the lines people. I have
Everybody has so many comments. You clamed your all saw it coming, but were still surprised. Did it ever occur to any of you that he had his reasons for his phony engagement to Kat? They never planned on marrying. He is still in love with Sandra Bullock and when push came to shove Kat realized that to. So Surprise, Surprise, there wasn't anything real on Jesse part.
Hmmm how dumb does she look now with a huge tat of him as a child on her side!
Who didn't see that coming?!!!! Jesse is a loser. I bet Sandra's laughing her ass off and thanking her lucky stars she divorced him!
lets see who he gets engaged to next
I kind of liked her til she ragged out on Sandra. Jesse is a loser.
I think they both should get their just desserts , she really should feel like crap for gloating over sandra the way she did . She was someone I used to like , he never was so I guess I am not missing anything with these two LOL!!
What a birthday present for Sandra Bullock today! What goes around comes around!!
I knew it
Good For Kat Von D for seeing the real Jesse James. I hope she finds someone better & she deserves better. Jesse James got exactly what he deserved a broken engagement. I'm starting to have some respect for Kat Von D.
