The couple dated for several years, but the relationship apparently soured after filmmaker Schnabel adapted Jebreal's novel Miral into a movie.
Jebreal and Schnabel split for good in June after finishing Miral's promotional tour, Page Six reports.
A source close to the couple explained: "Things became very difficult working on the movie together and promoting it together. While it garnered critical acclaim, the movie was not a hit, which caused further issues."
Jebreal and Schnabel first met in 2007 while the director was visiting Rome.
Schnabel was married to clothing designer Jacqueline Beaurang and later to Basque actress Olatz López Garmendia before he became involved with Jebreal.
Reps for the Oscar-nominated Diving Bell and the Butterfly director Schnabel and Jebreal declined to comment on the report.
