It's over: Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively split.

After five months together, Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio have split. The “Inception” star had been dating the “Gossip Girl” actress since May and although they have decided to part ways, representatives for both say the pair told Us Weekly they will “remain friends.

Leonardo DiCaprio, 35, and Blake Lively, 24, were first spotted getting cozy while aboard Steven Spielberg‘s yacht in Monte Carlo on May 17 during the Cannes Film Festival. Despite refusing to confirm their relationship, the two of them were seen on a string of dates throughout the summer, including trips on a yacht in Disneyland, California, and a water taxi in Venice, Italy.

Weeks before he and the beautiful Blake Lively became an item, Leonardo DiCaprio and model Bar Refaeli split after five years together. Back in October 2010, Lively and Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley ended their three-year romance.

“I have a strong sense of myself. That gives me a sense of security, you know? Every relationship you have, you’re learning and growing and taking something from that. So for me, it’s never been too dramatic of a thing when something ends.”-Blake Lively recently told Glamour magazine.

We don’t know about Leonardo DiCaprio but according to her statement, Lively is unlikely to be down for long, after the split.
