Nick Lachey has split from girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo - just weeks after the model/TV star denied the relationship was in trouble.

The pair has been dogged by rumors of an imminent break up since April amid reports Minnillo was romancing her Disaster Movie co-star Matt Lanter.

The couple, who began dating in 2006 after Lachey's divorce from Jessica Simpson, denied rumors of a split, with Minnillo earlier this month hinting of a possible engagement.

But they have now confirmed reports their three-year relationship is over.

Minnillo's rep tells People.com, "They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another."
