Alex and his girlfriend Jo Hee break up?

The two initially met on the MBC�drama 'Pasta' in early 2011, and Alex announced his relationship to the supermodel-turned-actress to the public shortly afterwards. The rumor is that they gradually became distant due to busy schedules and that they decided to break up this past May.

However, Alex's agency came forward, stating, "It is true that Alex and Jo Hee decided to take time away from each other this May. However, we can't confirm whether they broke up." There are also conflicting reports that his agency has flip-flopped on their initial statement and confirmed the rumors, citing that they were being careful as Jo Hee is currently not active in the entertainment industry.

As of now, it looks like the two have indeed decided to end their relationship, but there's no solid confirmation. In any case, hopefully the two will get what's best for both of them.�
