FINALLY! After two years together, Alex Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth are finally done, Us Weekly is reporting. This explains why The Bos hasn’t been rubbing her bones on Alex in public recently, and it also explains why there were reports of Alex getting flirty and friendly with various chicas during Comic-Con. The Bos lost her grip on him!
Guess it wasn’t true love! After nearly two years together, True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard and 21 actress Kate Bosworth have called it quits, Us Weekly has confirmed exclusively.
“It was very mutual,” a source tells the new issue of Us (on newsstands Wednesday). “And it happened a while ago.”
While Bosworth, 28, was photographed giving her ex, Orlando Bloom (now married to Miranda Kerr) a friendly hug on July 7, her Straw Dogs costar Skarsgard has been embracing his freedom.
During a July 21 Film District bash at Comic-Con in San Diego, the actor, 34, flirted with a brunette — and left the party with her.
“He’s single,” confirms a source, “and he is loving the attention!”
[From Us Weekly]
Here’s the question, though: Did The Bos do permanent damage to Alex’s reputation? What I mean is… would you be able to hook up with him knowing that he and The Bos were together for TWO YEARS? I’m not sure if I would be able to. I think less of him because he was with her and her incessant famewhore hustling for so long.
Here’s another thought – I think they might have just been trying to stick it out through the promotion of their film Straw Dogs, which comes out in September. Remember, this is the film where they met each other – that’s how long the film was languishing, waiting for a release date – more than two years. So, basically, the red carpets should be super-fun.

Ding Dong the wicked @itch is gone! It has been a long long time coming. The summer is on!
Oh goody! My turn (grabs skeleton costume and blonde wig)!
Alex I’m heeereee!!
Alex I love you sweetheart, but I don’t think I could get with you after two years of that. Or maybe I could. So conflicted ><
Ha! Good one tooey!!
HALLE-FRICKEN-LUJAH!!!
Gotta love the Swede’s. But I kind of only love him as Eric Northman. Not much more.
YAY!
I think they’ve been broken up for a while, just didn’t issue a press release about it. Because let’s face it: no one cares about her, or really likes her much any more. She’s a non-issue.
She is just awful, and as for Askars it’s weird but some times I think he’s “bake your biscuits hot” and other times I’m just “meh he’s alright.”
I’m so… I’m so… I’m just so excited!
Oh please God, let this be true.
Best news everrrrrrr!!!!
And there was much rejoicing!
I could totally still get with him. After he had a long, boiling hot shower to wash off the skeeve. Damn I wish I could have gone to Comicon this year!
YES!!! I mean…awwww.
YES…..! I can actually watch True Blood now without thinking about him dating that FW.
Is it just me or do other people think that this was a showmance? She is far from his normal type. I think he’s into tallish brunettes, so to hear that he’s flirting with one at Comic-Con seems like legit gossip to me.
Theyve been broken up for 3 months, wow the gossips are slow.
Finally! We can see happy Alex again. I wonder who’ll be her next victim.
YEEESSSS! *slowly rubs hands together sinisterly*
It’s too late, his hotness is already gone. I started finding him less attractive after that hilarious paparazzi incident Coachella last year, and the writers at True Blood have killed my attraction to Eric this year. I prefer Eric Northman when he’s evil and doesn’t fear anything or anybody.
Sigh. We could have had something special, Alex.
I don’t think any less of him. It’s not like he was very loud about it to begin with, and her fame whore personality was probably a big turn off for him. From the interviews I have read of him, Alex seems to cherish his personal life a lot. If anything I think it’s great he sees she is not what he wants :p
I’d still be with him. he seems to be loyal and one to try to make it work. who wouldn’t want that? it’s not like he was with linnocent.
I so agree with you once he hooked up with Bosworth and atualy stayed around for 2 years and put up with her douchiness and famewhore ways he lost all his appeal.
And a remake of the brilliant Straw Dogs (PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL!!!) is devastating.
He’s just so goddamn HOT. The things I would do to that man…
@turtle dove she’s very much his type he likes petite girls – Amanda seyfried, the polish model izabella miko, his last Swedish girlfriend – all small cutesy girls
How can I get him my number????
I’ve never minded Boz. She’s made trying to stay relevant/sleeping with relevant into an art form for other pap ho’s to follow. She tends to come off as kind of desperate at the end of her relationships, though. lots of women are like that though, hanging on for dear life.
I sure like her a lot more with Bloom than his current stick figure. That woman out-paps even Bozzie. It’s like every friggin day now.
Wonder who Boz has in her sights now?
I’m so happy about this. I was afraid that they’d string this out until Straw Dogs comes out in September. I think it started out as a real relationship but has been for pr for the last year or so. Just look at the difference in their interactions and facial expressions from last year’s Coachella & this year’s. And, no Kaiser, I would have no problems getting with this man. We all make mistakes. lol.
Yay for them being done! Boo on Alex for dating her for so freaking long. He gave that famewhore some relevance & we’ve suffered from it. So yes, it’s damaged the lust I had for him, but then I’ll see a clip of him showering naked and it magically returns.
Shocking! haha
I must have missed it, why do we hate the Bos?
I’m not as familiar with her famewhore ways so I’m a little disappointed. They looked good together, aesthetically. And, I think she’s been decent in the work I’ve seen.
Yeah, why the glee over these two breaking up? It’s not like he’s knocking on any of our doors. Sheesh.
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! He looks like my husband, yes LECKER! My husband hates when I say that…. oh well.
Anyhoo, Finally is an understatement! More like: “Amen”!
And the Swedish bon bon is HOT before her and after her, one monkey stops no show……… that is one of the beauties of life!
I never understood why he was with her to begin with, and she definitely lowered my opinion of him.
I think I only like him as Eric too.
Strike up the band the Beige is no more. Hell Yeah Kaiser, I’d still hit that…but only after seeing the full STD screening results. Anyway, I’m hoping Alex will embrace his newfound freedom and we’ll get random sightings of different women. I’d rather enjoy manwh0re Alex than see him settle down again with whatever costar he’s filming with…Oh wait. He’s due to start filming with Julienne Moore soon. Anyone know if she’s single?
I don’t get the intense hate people have for this girl. I mean there are millions of women out there worse than Kate Bosworth, who seems pretty innocuous to me.
He’s only hot as Eric Northman to me anymore. It’s baffling as to why he stuck around so long. But at least he looks happier and ready for some fun.
Would I be able to hook up with him? Hell yeah!
Finally!
I’d hit it repeatedly-KBos has no effect- if there was a chance in hell I would ever get the opportunity. Sadly, there’s not.
HELL TO THE YIZZ-YEAH!
‘it was very mutual’ – hell yeah, I bet!
Best news ever! Check out Lainey’s post today about their splitting… no wonder Alex hasn’t been spotted at Joan’s- Kate’s in stalker mode. Yikes! It’ll be nice to see a happy Alex again.. he always seemed so grumpy around Kate.
Why do people dislike her so much? I think I need a reminder! She seems quite nice in interviews.
I’m a little embarrased about how happy this make me to be honest but as a ASkarsfan, this really makes me happy 😀
Speaking of Lainey’s post about this, it sounds like they split up before and she got him back and is trying to do the same by more or less stalking him. I wonder how the promotion of Straw Dogs will go down. The director is allready making an ass of himself on twitter and now two of the leads are broken up. Will be interesting.
No way were they together for two years. Can’t people do math? They started being seen together late 2009 and havent been spotted together since April. Still, a year is a long time to put up with that.
I figured it must be real this time-he hasn’t looked this happy and relaxed since the first season of TB, I swear.
@regina – it seems to be because she is thin.
All the new Alex haters can step aside. That might get me that much closer in line to him. He’s hot!
The paps are going to break their hips trying to get photos of him and whomever he bones next. I’m totally loving this news.
Thank God! And thank God he had a one-night stand with a burnette *puts blonde wig away*!
@Gwen: I follow someone on twitter who retweets the director’s tweets. He sounds like a tool. No one cares about your movie, dude! And trying to convince people it’s going to be better than the original is only setting it up for failure.
@AmandaG: No one hates Bonesworth because she’s thin. We hate her because she’s a no-talent, famewhore who dates rising stars to get her name in the press. She does nothing to warrant the level of interest in her. She calls the paps & is in bed with certain gossip sites.
I don’t care about her…I’d still hit it!
Would it be too cynical to assume Kate B got dumped and she or one of her people is actually ‘the source’… Damage control, after ex enjoying the single life in San Diego!
Guess she won’t be taking those ankle boots to Sweden again.
Do ya think he likes middle-aged, slightly overweight, tall white girls? If so, I’m all his!!
I don’t follow her only know from here that she is despised. I think I’m the only one who thinks she actually has a really pretty face.
I saw his “It Gets Better” ad and it was very genuine. That was hot to me. Normally though I only prefer him as Eric.
The crying in bed with Sookie and curling into her lap, mixed feelings if liked or turned off.
Do celebrities never date normal people just because of the circles they run in? If he values his privacy and non-fame whores, then he might prefer a ‘normal’ person.
@Mia: He seems to be a loose kanon. Writes one stupid tweet after another, begs for retweets, offends people on a daily basis. Where are the people in charge of the movie? Surely they can’t be happy with his behaviour? Also I don’t understand how they’re promoting the film. I thought it was meant as a fresh take on the book and that it shouldn’t be compared to the old film – yet they copied the old movie poster. Very strange.
Ya era hora!! Now he should date a hot Latina for a change!;)
And about your latest post on him, (as Carrie Bradshaw would say) “I can’t help but wonder”…Why the hell is he making such bad choices career wise??
He seems like a genuine person in a profession filled with fame-whores. Good luck to him.
Kate Bosworth is a famewhore who calls the paps on herself at any given opportunity and latches onto rising male talent to keep her name in the press. She’s a mediocre actor– at best– and she isn’t above trying to hook up with attached men (Chris Martin, Jim Sturgess). She is, from everything I’ve seen, incredibly phony. Remember a few years ago when she was dating that British model? She did several interviews with a faux English accent. I have never been a fan. That said, it’s not like I’m rejoicing over this. I don’t know Skars and most likely never will, so it doesn’t really mean a lot for me personally.
I’d still hit it. With a strike package.
Sorry, but she’s sucked all the sexy out of him. Just being linked to her makes a guy’s stock plummet.
Glad she’s been apparently kicked to the curb, couldn’t care less about his supposed single status. I don’t trust it either. With those 2, I always expect an encore.
She (his taste in women), along with his hairstyle and dress choices (all 3 are just awful) killed his hotness all by hiw own effors. The fact that his talent showcase, TB, is so badly written, killed the rest.
YAY!! This is such great news, you made my day even better Kaiser- thanks! 😀
And yes, yes I would hit it, many, many times over 😀 (his dick hasn’t been near my most disliked female celebs so I am giving him a pass – this time).
He dresses like almost all Swedish men. Sorry it’s not American and sloppy enough for you.
THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooohooo! I knew it though since they haven’t been in public together in forever! I think they broke up at Coachella (remember that whole thing were she said she ‘had to work’ and he got plastered????? I didn’t by that for one second)!
“He dresses like almost all Swedish men. Sorry it’s not American and sloppy enough for you.”
Thanks for coming on to brighten the board with b*tch comments about Americans. Yes, I think I would definitely be more attracted to him if he was an obese, hamburger eating, uneducated slob. Sooooooo f*cking sick of the American bashing.
Anyways, I don’t see how he dresses any different then ‘Americans’.
How did she have time to break up with him when she’s so busy not eating?! Christ. I don’t hate her because she’s thin, but I find people who don’t eat and continually seek attention highly suspect.
bout time!
Ahhh Kaiser that must make you so happy – so you see good does come to all those who wait!
@ Linds
I know it’s difficult for Americans like you to understand, but there’s a world outside the US. He dresses like a slob for European standards, which is where I am. Is that more to your liking?
There were rumours before about them splitting up and they proved not to be true
I know bitches were waiting with abated breath.
Must be hard when a large chunk of the world is waiting for your relationship to fail.
Now, maybe next time he’ll make a smarter choice :/
One that we approve of.
The stench of Bonesworth makes him unfucakble. I mean damn 2 years?!?! That’s just way too long.
I thought for a while he might be sticking it out for Straw Dogs and they kept pushing the release and he was “trapped”, maybe that was the truth but why announce now? There’s only a few weeks till September, he stuck it out this long afterall.
I can’t wait to see the red carpet photos for that movie though. AWKWARD. Especially since you know clingy Kate will be sidling up to him for maximum pr exposure.
CC – now that you mention it, everything you said is a reason for why I can’t get on this bandwagon anymore. Even Eric can’t keep me hooked. Plus they’ve written him so far from book Eric (and all that sexiness) it’s just not enough.
Not to mention he has very, very bad taste in choosing film scrips. I mean Battleship? A Straw Dogs remake? That French film remake with the Russian roulette? Ugh, who gave him those ideas? If he’s as picky as he says he is, he must be getting really lowsy scripts, like bottom of the barrel, to pick those as good choices. Someone needs a better agent.
taytay (24) – Yeah, you’re right he much prefers non-brunettes. 😛

Sucks for them. I don’t find either one of them likeable.
On the other hand, I don’t find her worthy of some of the hatred she gets, or maybe I’m not that immersed in the whole paparazzi culture, but for a famewhore, I only see her like three times a year.
I don’t like him because he seems like he’s always trying to be edgy and provocative, much like the softcore soap opera he stars in.
Famewhores are a dime a dozen, and Bos-what’s-her-name is just one in a million. But by associating with her for so long, I think that Skarwhatever has lowered his attraction quotient.
He was never all that hot to me anyway.
