Actress Ashley Benson has blamed her hectic work schedule for prompting her split from boyfriend Ryan Good last year (13).

The Spring Breakers beauty ended her romance with the movie producer, who was responsible for bringing Justin Bieber's two documentaries to the big screen, in March (13), only to reconcile with him later in the year.

Benson has now explained they struggled to maintain a relationship because she was always away filming.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan magazine, she says, "Ryan is one of the strongest people I've met. So grounded and such a positive influence on people.

"We took a break because it was so hard. I work 20 hour days, so I'm always gone. So a lot of your relationship is on the phone and iChatting and trying to catch up."
