Clooney, Keibler ‘broke up over phone’

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler reportedly ended their two-year relationship over the phone.

The two have spent a lot of time apart in recent months and decided to call it quits instead of pursuing a long-distance relationship. Clooney, 52, is filming in Europe while Keibler, 33, is in LA working on her new Lifetime show, “Supermarket Superstar,” that premieres later this month.

Sources told TMZ that the Oscar winner actor is scheduled to remain in Berlin until December but the beauty couldn’t handle the long distance for another five months.

“Both sides realized there is no way to have a relationship when you don’t see each other,” said a source.

The source explained that they remain on good terms: “He was very respectful, adult about the situation … he reminded Stacy that they were friends before they dated and wants to be friends after.”

According to reports, Keibler was the one to pull the plug, as “she wants to have children and a family someday. She knows where George stands on that,” a source close to the couple told People magazine.

However, sources tell Page Six that it was Clooney who broke off the relationship, asking her to move her things out of his Hollywood mansion a few weeks ago. One source said, “He is happy for people to think she broke it off in order to save her any embarrassment.”
