At the time of their relationship, Vincent Piazza was working on the series “Boardwalk Empire,” which was filmed exclusively on the East Coast. Meanwhile, Ashlee Simpson’s life was centered in Los Angeles. Despite living on opposite sides of the country — and the challenges that posed to their budding romance — the two were determined to give the relationship a try.
Unfortunately, this distance eventually became the reason for their split in 2012. A source shared with Page Six, “Vincent has been working a lot, so he hasn’t been able to spend as much time with Ashlee, which has caused some problems.” They also revealed that the couple’s split was a “mutual agreement” as things between the two lovebirds had been “bumpy,” but noted that a reconciliation was possible in the future.

US Weekly also confirmed the breakup, with their source again citing distance as the main reason. They said, “There was no bad blood and no third party involved. It was honestly just a long-distance relationship and it became too hard to make it work.” The source suggested the couple could end up back together, but as we now know, it just wasn’t meant to be.
