Australian actress Emily Browning has ended her relationship with Jeremy Irons' son Max, according to a British report.

The Sucker Punch star started dating the British hunk last May after meeting him in Los Angeles, but they have now decided to go their separate ways, according to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

Irons will have a busy year to concentrate on getting over the break-up - he beat out Miley Cyrus' boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and Game of Thrones star Kit Harington for a leading role in Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's upcoming film adaptation of The Host.
