Jason Segel and Mixter split after eight years

Jason Segel and girlfriend Alexis Mixter

Actor-comedian Jason Segel and longtime girlfriend Alexis Mixter have broken up after eight years of dating. Mixter made an announcement on Instagram with a lengthy caption alongside an old photo of her and Segel.

"This is a photo of two best friends. This guy and I have shared so much life together. Changed each other at a soul deep level. All for the better. The depth of our bond was something I could never have anticipated," she wrote, adding, "I have never spent so much time with another person, grown so much alongside someone else, laughed so much, cried so much, shared so much."

Mixter said it's "odd" to write about their split, as their friendship is "so full of life," but revealed they made the decision a while back to go their separate ways romantically.

Mixter concluded her announcement with a thank you note to the How I Met Your Mother star. "Thank you J for being my best friend. The person who shares all my favourite jokes, sees who I really am and all I want to be and loves me unconditionally. I will never stop cheering you on with every cell of my body. I will never stop loving you unconditionally," she wrote.

Segel has yet to publicly address the split.
