Duffy 'splits from boyfriend again'

Duffy has reportedly split from her boyfriend Mike Phillips for the second time this year.

The soul singer has made a "final" decision over her relationship with the Welsh rugby player, the Mail on Sunday reports.

"It's sad, but it's all over," a supposed friend said. "Mike and Duffy went through a rough patch in May but they worked through it and spent the summer together between London and Wales."

Reports earlier this year claimed that the couple, who had been together for more than two years, had separated amicably.

The source explained: "We were all hoping it would work out but they broke it off again recently and Duffy has said this time it's final.

"It happened a few weeks ago during the World Cup. It's largely down to their careers and the amount of travelling they do. They were rarely together.

"The long-distance thing had become a problem. While they managed to cope with conducting a relationship between London and Wales, it got harder with Mike being in France."
