Luke Pritchard Mischa Barton Breakup Blog

March 9th, 2009 by Castina

Actress Mischa Barton has ended her relationship with musician Luke Pritchard and in a move uncharacteristic of celebs, the former OC actress has taken to her blog to give fans the inside scoop on what caused the breakdown of her short-lived romance with The Kooks star.

In an entry posted on Monday, Mischa writes:

“I’m sure you guys are all going to hear about it soon enough so I just wanted to tell you what is real first — I broke up with Luke when I got to London. Things just didn’t feel quite right. There was no cheating or anything terrible, the bad just started to outweigh the good and a long distance relationship is never an easy thing to do.

I hope that the press will show some respect in the near future as we both find it very difficult to deal with a lot of attention or speculation from the media. I think Luke is a great guy, but the type better suited as a friend. We have a surprising amount of mutual friends in England and I don’t regret our time together, I just couldn’t keep it going.

There is no bitterness between us…that I know of (sorry, I had to joke!). If there ever is a case of two people staying friends I’m sure it will be the case with us — our personalities are very good for that.

Lots of love to my fans! I’ll check in again soon.

Love, Mischa”
