Evan Peters

Emma Roberts and Evan Peters squeaked in with a late-breaking Friday break up announcement. Emma and Evan were together for three years and got dramatically engaged in early 2014. The entire relationship was a mess, to put it mildly.

Let’s do a brief rundown. In July 2013, Emma was arrested for domestic violence after Canadian police determined she bit and punched Evan during an argument. He chose not to press charges. A source said the couple enjoyed a a “passionate” and “extreme” relationship. Things calmed down until last August when Emma and Evan had an explosive fight at a Comic-Con party. At the time, a friend admitted, “Their relationship isn’t healthy. They fight more than they get along and she has problems controlling her temper. She flips out at the drop of a hat.” Then a weird story came out that the couple alternately fought and made out on the American Horror Story set. We haven’t heard from Emma and Evan for awhile, but now they’re over. Just Jared broke the story:

Emma Roberts and Evan Peters have called off their engagement, sources exclusively tell JustJared.com.

“Their three years together just ran its course,” our source tells JJ. “They have so many great memories together but couldn’t make it work in the end. The break-up was amicable — there was no drama whatsoever. Emma and Evan are even still friends!”

Reps for both actors couldn’t be reached for comment.

Evan, 28, and Emma, 24, started dating in 2012 and got engaged over the Christmas holiday in 2014. The former couple starred together on two seasons of the FX series American Horror Story.

People magazine confirmed the split with a source who said, “They grew apart. They both had a lot of growing to do and it was better that they do it on their own.” Emma and Evan are both young. I rarely believe the “amicable” detail in any couple who splits, let alone one where a domestic violence arrest happened. But I’m glad these two are done. Emma seems like a pill, and she was terrible during her breakup with Chord Overstreet. Maybe she’ll stay single for awhile.

Here are pictures of Emma with Dave Franco on the set of their new movie, Nerve. I’ve heard buzzings that these two are hooking up. In 2011, Dave told Access Hollywood that Emma is a “very cool girl, very sweet girl, let’s leave it at that.” He denied dating her, but who knows.
