Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander have reportedly split after nine months of dating. The couple, who played husband and wife in the 2016 film, "The Light Between Oceans," threw in the towel just before their movie will be shown.
According to UsWeekly, Fassbender, 38, and Vikander, 26, was last seen still looking besotted during their attendance at the Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco in May. The two met on the set of their upcoming film, however, things took a different turn after nearly a year they've been together.

According to Realty Today, the two had built a strong chemistry on the set while working as Magneto and Mystique. The two, who worked also on the first X-Men movie in 2011 developed special feelings towards each other however, he's still with his girlfriend Zoe Kravitz at the time.
It was a bad timing for Fassbender and Lawrence until the second time as she was in a relationship with the Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin. According to National Enquirer report via The Hollywood Gossip, a source told the tabloid that they are just keeping their relationship under wraps. At that time, the "Steve Jobs" actor and Alicia haven't split yet.
Fassbender earlier dished that it's his fault that his relationship didn't last, Daily Mail reports. He claimed he devotes more time for his profession more than to his romances.
"I'm kind of selfish with the hours that I put into the work. I think the longest relationship that I've been in was two years... I started doing this when I was 17, so I guess in my dating, adult life, that kind of covers it."
The Irish- German hunk has the reputation of dating his co-stars including "X-Men: First Class" co-star Zoe Kravitz and "Shame" co-star Nicole Beharie from 2012 to 2013. Fassbender or Vikander has not released a statement on their reported split.
