Modeling Journey

Jesse James and Kat Von D have called off their engagement and broken up. The couple, who were set to marry this year, got together following James's messy divorce from Sandra Bullock. "I am no longer w Jesse," Von D confirmed on her Twitter account, "and out of respect for him, his family and myself, thats all the info I'd like to share. Thanks for respecting that."

James however, was willing to share a bit more. America's bad boy spoke to PEOPLE and said, 

"I'm so sad because I really love her," and revealed that distance was the reason it was not working out. Their engagement, announced in January, will not end as planned - in a late summer wedding on the one-year anniversary of when they started dating.

"I just saw them a couple nights ago together in Hollywood at The Counter and they seemed really happy," an eyewitness told RadarOnline. James was dumped by Hollywood star Sandra Bullock amid claims he had cheated on her multiple times with other women.

Von D shoots her reality show in Los Angeles, while James lives in Austin, Texas, with his three children, Chandler, 16, Jesse Jr., 14, and Sunny, 7.
