On Wednesday, eternal bachelor George Clooney and his girlfriend of two years, Elisabetta Canalis, went their separate ways, even though rumors of the two getting ready for a secret wedding began when reporters started camping outside Clooney's Italian villa.
The reporters believed the couple would say "I do," but the high-profile duo have indeed called it quits.
The source added that the actor had been "creating distance" for a few months and used work as an excuse to get away.
Meanwhile, a very casual Elisabetta was spotted strolling through Milan's Malpensa Airport on Friday with her two small dogs, heading for her hometown of Sassari, where the actress will most likely visit family and escape the media.
