Pop heartthrob Justin Timberlake has reportedly split from actress Jessica Biel after a four-year-long relationship.
The break-up between the Sexy Back singer and the Hollywood beauty is mutual, reported People magazine online.
“There are no hard feelings. It was completely mutual and they both decided it was time to move on,” sources close to the singer told the magazine.
Despite the break-up, the former couple still “love and respect each other,” added the source.
The low-key love birds, who started dating in 2007 after Timberlake split from Cameron Diaz, have been dogged by break-up rumours for years.
Just last month, they were spotted together at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, where according to reports, they “barely interacted.”
Other online reports claim that Timberlake, 30 initiated the break-up, and that Biel is “devastated.”
Timberlake recently helped Biel ring in her 29th birthday on March 3 by tweeting a link to his fans in support of the actress’s wish for donations to be made to charity.

Coffee may cut women stroke risk
London: Ladies, please note — drinking a couple of cups of coffee everyday is actually good for you, as a new study has claimed that the drink reduces one’s risk of a stroke.
And, women who don’t drink coffee at all may actually be increasing their risk for stroke, the study has warned.
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, who carried out the study, have also found evidence that drinking more than a cup of coffee a day can help ward off diabetes and liver cancer in women.
“Some women have avoided coffee because they thought it is unhealthy. In fact, evidence indicates moderate consumption may decrease the risk of diabetes, liver cancer and possibly stroke,” lead researcher Dr Susanna Larsson said.
The researchers found women who drank more than a cup a day saw their stroke risk fall by between 20 and 25 per cent compared with those who drank little or none. This held true regardless of their weight, smoking and drinking habits, or whether they had a family history of diabetes.
