Tiffany Haddish and Common have called it quits after more than a year of dating, according to multiple reports.

Haddish and Common's split was first reported Monday by People, which cited long-distance and busy schedules as the reasons for the breakup.

"They are never in the same city together and both of them are just too busy for a serious relationship," an unnamed source told the outlet.

An insider close to Common, 49, also told E! News that his split from the 41-year-old comedian and actress was "amicable."

"They both still think very highly of one another, work obligations simply proved to be too much for them to move forward," the unnamed source said.

Common, whose real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, will be staying in the U.K. for the next six months to film a TV show, the insider added. Haddish, meanwhile, is in Atlanta, Georgia, filming the Disney movie "Haunted Mansion" with Owen Wilson for several months, a separate unnamed source told E! News.

Their breakup comes more than a year after Haddish told Steve-O during an August 2020 interview on his podcast "Steve-O’s Wild Ride" that she and Common were an item.

"I am in a relationship," Haddish said at the time. She also joked about their similar shaved heads, saying, "Yeah, we're twins now."

The pair met on the set of the 2019 film "The Kitchen." They hit it off immediately and became friends, according to the actress. Haddish said that at the time their relationship "wasn’t anything sexual or anything like that because my eyes were set on something else."

But their friendship turned romantic after they went on a virtual Bumble date in April last year. "And then he got tested for everything, I got tested for everything, and yeah, we’ve been f—ing," she said.

In an interview on "Live with Kelly and Ryan" that same month, Common gushed over the comedian. He described Haddish as a "wonderful woman, a queen and just a beautiful person."

"You know, I just care for her a lot, enjoy her and am grateful to have her in my life. I'm happy," he added.

Haddish was previously married to her ex-husband William Stewart, whom she split from in 2013. Common has never been married but is a dad to daughter Omoye Lynn, 24, whom he shares with ex Kim Jones.
