British tabloids broke the story over the weekend, and Chung’s spokeswoman Liz Matthews confirmed it this morning: “It’s completely amicable — but yes it’s true. They have split,” she said of Chung and Alex Turner, the 25-year-old front man of British rock band the Arctic Monkeys. The couple began dating over four years ago, after they met at Coachella in 2007. Chung recently bought an apartment in New York, where she’ll live while shooting her new Lifetime show, tentatively titled “24-Hour Catwalk.” So in other words, guys, we’re saying there’s a chance.
