We really bought into the whole romantic notion that Jesse James so eloquently shared about “the love of his life and soul mate” Kat Von D. That fairytale turned out not to have a ‘happily ever after’ ending and they have called off their engagement.

The two hooked up after Jesse’s very public and messy divorce with Sandra Bullock, involving a sordid cheating scandal.

The couple had planned to get married this summer but that has all changed with the sudden Twitter comment that Von D shared last night:

Jesse told People magazine: “I’m so sad because I really love her. The distance between us was just too much.”

The couple got engaged in January but the commute between Los Angeles, where the tattoo model shoots her reality show, and Austin, Texas, where James and his three children are living, proved that absence did not make the heart grow fonder.
