Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams are officially over. Ok! Magazine is reporting that the couple has called it quits. Ryan even gave a statement to the rag saying what a lovely woman she really is.

"Mandy is one of those genuinely sweet angelic people you wish to meet your whole life," Ryan tells OK! in a statement. "I am grateful for our friendship and how it allowed us both to grow and learn more."

So why did they break up? The media played a big part of it. 

"Unfortunately I am allergic to paparazzi and have found the best antidote to that sort of nonsense is staying behind the guitar and typewriter, staying close to my support group of friends and band mates and not engaging in activities that prevent me from taking care of myself or others," he says. "I found the entire speculation and subsequent photographs and intrusions terrifying and only wish to live as normal a life as possible, so that I might always remain punk as f*** AND sober."

He continues, "Also, I just want to jam. Plus I like metal A LOT."
