Lana Del Rey and her boyfriend, Francesco Carrozzini, have parted ways after dating for 18 months. Multiple sources revealed that the split was a longtime coming since the former couple has an on-again, off-again romance.
Del Rey and boyfriend reportedly ended up things two weeks ago. New York Daily News broke the report, which claimed that the Italian photographer wasn't ready to settle down yet unlike the "Summertime Sadness" songstress.
"They love each other, but she's wanted to settle down for over a year now and he's just not there yet," a witness told the site.
The two met in 2014 and started going public with their relationship in June of the same year. They were spotted getting cozy on a romantic getaway at Amalfi coast in Portofino, Italy. Del Rey's boyfriend, Carrozzini, is the son of Vogue Italia editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani, who directed Del Rey's music video "Ultraviolence," which was launched in August 2014, E! News reports.
Before the 30-year-old dated Carrozzini, she broke up with her Scottish musician boyfriend of three years, Barrie-James O'Neill. Del Rey and her former boyfriend were engaged, but Del Rey called off their engagement after claiming that her relationship with him was rewarding but very difficult, CeleBuzz reports.
"I'm a dark character and he very is an even darker character than I am. Trying to get some consistency and some normality within the dynamic of that relationship has been impossible," Del Rey told of her ex-fiancée. She added, "He's unwell and I'm unwell in some ways, and psychologically we've been through a lot together."
During the time, Del Rey moved on with the Italian director after splitting with O'Neill for a week. She claimed that all she wished for was to find someone she could share her life with and have children.
Meanwhile, Del Rey and her former beau were reportedly heard fighting many times throughout their relationship. They had split several times, but the last was their long breakup.
Early this year, Del Rey was photographed crying at the LAX airport and was screaming in tears. Sources claimed that she appeared completely upset and stressed. Del Rey's boyfriend reportedly moved from New York to Los Angeles for seven months to be with her. However, things didn't end well for them. The two were last seen together leaving Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica on Oct. 8.
