Kellan Lutz in love split

Kellan Lutz has split from his longtime girlfriend.

The Twilight actor has been dating Australian beauty Sharni Vinson since 2011, but the pair went its separate ways earlier this month (May13), according to UsMagazine.com.

Lutz and Vinson met while auditioning for Step Up 3D. Vinson landed a starring role in the movie, while Lutz did not.

The actor, who played vampire Emmett Cullen in the Twilight series, recently heaped praise on Vinson's romance skills after they enjoyed St. Valentine's Day together in February (13), saying, "Let's just say that I did it so well that she was surprised that I didn't propose to her."

Lutz isn't the only bloodsucker to have his heart broken recently - Vampire Diaries co-stars Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev have broken up after three years.
