Jennifer Love Hewitt & Ross McCall Split

Jennifer Love Hewitt and her fiancé Ross McCall have called off their engagement!

“They broke up over the holidays and have ended their engagement,” says a source close to the couple tells People. “They’re both really sad about this. Even their friends are surprised; they seemed really happy. Everyone just wants the best for both of them.”

The 29-year-old Ghost Whisperer star got engaged to the 32-year-old Scottish actor in November 2007 after dating for two years.

In Hollywood it seems if anybody has a longer engagement that 1 year and they don’t end up getting married, they end up splitting before marrying. Long engagements tend to mean they are not ready I guess.

How do we know she was happy? What’s with the “Love” in her name? Sounds bonkers & sadly inappropriate!

Sorry to hear about this, but I agree with those who said that a long engagement typically equals never making it to the altar.

Probably wasn’t meant to be. I hope they both find what they are looking for.

Better to end it before the wedding, than to go through with a divorce later.

I was surprised. After she went through a lot of dating I thought Ross McCall was her last one and forever one. I wanted to believe in true love but I guess now mostly true love is a fairy tale or a miracle.

Okay some of whats posted on here is so nasty if its true and Jennifer And Ross have split show some compassion for gods sake how would you all feel if this had happend to you??

all she gets is constant crap from bloggers and other people, shes either fat and needs to lose weight (no she doesn’t) and due to her own reasons she loses weight and then shes a hypocrite

we’re all the same so live and let live, and leave her alone

breaking up is a trend, so who cares? after all, they’ve enjoyed each other’s juices, so no love lost after all is lost

HI MR BLONDE #10, WELL THE WAY I SEE IT IS THAT, IN THE WESTERN COULUTURE DIVORCE ACCURES ALOT, MAINLY BECAUSE OF TOO MUCH FREEDOM TO DO WHAT U PLEASE ALL THE TIME. I AGREE WITH DIVORCE BCS ONE SHOULD NOT STAY IN MARRIED LIFE IF SOMETHING IS WRONG, HOWEVER SOMETIME PEOPLE SHOULD LET IT WORK OUT AND NOT JUMP TO DIVORCE (OR ENGAGEMENT INT HIS CASE) FOR STUPID SILLY REASIONS AND IN SUCH QUICK TIME. I THINK THAT SOMETIMES EXTERNAL FACTORS, LIKE FAMILY PRESSURE AND RELIGION OBLIGATION WHOCH CAN SEEM LIKE A BAD THING, CAN ACTUALLY HELP IN THE LONG RUN TO STOP YOU FROM DOING SILLY MISTAKES. I HAVE WANTED TO END MY ENGAGEMENT MANY TIMES OVER STUPID THINGS THAT SEEMED BIG TO ME AT THAT TIME OF THE FIGHT OR WHATEVER AND I WAS UNABLE TO BEACUSE MY FAMILY WOULD NOT APROVE IF I DID AND WOULD CREATE ALOT OF TRUBLE. ALTHOUGH MY FAMILY WOULD NOT KILL ME OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT LOL. BUT WHEN I DO WORK IT WOUT AND THE FIGHT IS OVER BLA BLA. I THANK GOD AND MY FAMILY AND CULTURE FOR HAVING THE EFFECT OF A SEATBELT AND STOPIING ME FROM DANGEROUS ACCEDNTS. I HOPE I MAKE SENSE.

#13 Her mother wanted to name her Love but her older brother thought she should have a “normal” name so she was thus named Jennifer Love. Her friends and family call her Love and only added the Jennifer when she started getting into mainstream acting (Sister Act 2). I first saw her in Kids Inc. so she’ll always be Love to me…

This is so sad. They looked so happy together.
