'How Met I Your Mother' actor Jason Segal and Alexis Mixter call it quits after 8 years of dating

Popular Hollywood actor Jason Segel and girlfriend of eight years Alexis Mixter have called it quits. The photographer took to her Instagram page and announced the break up with him by sharing a throwback photo. She wrote the note by calling themselves best friends and concluded by saying that she will never stop loving him unconditionally. Jason and Alexis have been in a relationship since December 2013 and made several public appearances together.

Mixter wrote, "This is a photo of two best friends. This guy and I have shared so much life. Changed each other at a soul-deep level. All for the better. The depth of our bond was something I could never have anticipated. I’ve never spent so much time with another person, grown so much alongside someone else, laughed so much, cried so much, shared so much. It is odd to write about the end of a relationship, especially when the friendship that still exists is so full of life. But change happens and we made the decision quite a while ago to let ourselves grow away from what our relationship had been and into what it was becoming. Announcing a breakup on social media is a strange feeling. Some won’t understand why it is necessary and that’s okay. Having a public romantic relationship is not easy. Ending one feels like navigating a road that doesn’t even exist. We are private people when it comes to our personal lives and I intend to keep it that way."

Alexis added, "My feelings while writing this are only ones of love and gratitude. Gratitude to the universe for putting this man in my life the way it did and then allowing us the grace to decide that what we had, could become more. Because that is what our friendship feels like. More. More than either of us could have asked for in another person. This post is a tribute to love and friendship and those relationships that make life worth living. 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, love me unconditionally and makes me always strive to be bigger and better than I was yesterday. I will never stop cheering you on with every cell of my body. I will never stop loving you unconditionally."

She concluded by stating, "This is an old picture but I chose it because we both love it and it was from such a great day."
