New York Yankees star Derek Jeter and his girlfriend, actress Minka Kelly, watch James Blake USA being beaten by Novak Djokovic SRB in 3 sets at the US Open 2010. The couple looked to be enjoying each other's company at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center in Queens, New York. (Pacific Coast News)more pics Minka Kelly and Derek Jeter (Pacific Coast News)One of Hollywood's hottest couples is no more: Actress Minka Kelly and baseball star Derek Jeter have called it quits after three years together. The actress' rep confirmed the news to People magazine.
"They care about each other and it was amicable," says a source. "They're still friends."
While no official statement has been released by the couple, we can easily see this being an "our schedules got in the way," or "the distance was too much" kind of split. After all, Jeter is constantly training and traveling with the Yankees (Kelly watched him get his 3,000th hit this summer), while she is busy filming the upcoming Charlie's Angels TV reboot.
While these two have never been forthcoming with details about their relationship, there weren't any indications that there was trouble in paradise. In fact, the couple most recently dodged another round of engagement rumors. They also joked about the actress' lack of baseball knowledge not long ago. Perhaps that was the problem. When JJ contacted her reps, they did confirm the split.
Last month, HBO premiered Deter Jeter 3K, a documentary that chroniclesDerek’s journey of becoming the second player to reach 3,000 hits as a shortstop (the first was Honus Wagner).
Minka is busy in Miami shooting the ABC reboot of the classic show Charlie’s Angels, which is being produced by Drew Barrymore and Leonard Goldberg. Charlie’s Angels, which co-stars Rachael TaylorAnnie Ilonzeh, premieres Thursday, September 22, at 8/7c.
