Peaches Geldof and director-actor Eli Roth have reportedly split up after an eight-month courtship. According to the Sunday Mirror, the couple cited work commitments and too much time apart as the main causes of the split.

A source close to the pair reveals: "Peaches is really sad that things didn't work out with Eli. They were very much in love and she'd never been so nuts about a guy. But both are hard workers and have huge work commitments coming up, so they were due to be spending too much time apart. It was almost better for them to part ways before things got even trickier with making time for each other."

Peaches, the modeling daughter of Live Aid/Live 8-founding philanthropist Bob Geldof, and Eli, who co-starred in 'Inglourious Basterds' and wrote and directed the hit horror film 'Hostel,' met at the Vanity Fair after Oscar party earlier this year, and were photographed canoodling just days later. They celebrated their six-month anniversary in August at the London premiere of the Roth-produced 'The Last Exorcism.'

The 21-year-old socialite and model, who is an avid Twitterer, has taken a break from the site and in her last message posted, "I'm going to be off twitter for a while, but ill be back to update you all with my mundane, rambling chains of thought before you know it. X."

Roth most famously played the bat-wielding "Bear Jew" in 'Inglourious Basterds.'
