(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Colin Farrell has split from his partner, according to reports.

The Irish actor met Alicja Bachleda-Curu on the set of movie Ondine in 2008, and they have one-year-old son Henry together. It has been claimed Colin called time on the romance after realising it was not working out, with Alicja said to have grown tired of waiting for the Hollywood star to pop the question.

She realised that Colin is never going to marry her, a source told American magazine Star. He cares for Alicja and the baby but he wants to be a free spirit.

Neither Colin, 34, nor 27-year-old Alicja have confirmed the reports.

Before settling down with Alicja Colin was known as a hellraiser, following the surfacing of a sex tape and a stint in rehab. Earlier this year he spoke of how much the relationship had changed him, explaining how much he enjoyed spending time with a then five-month-old Henry and his son James, now seven, from a previous relationship.

Little Henry he sleeps savage, 9pm to 7am every night, its great. Im lucky, I get to be a hands-on dad as Im unemployed, Im not working at the moment, he said. Ive had so much good fortune through my job when Im away Im gone for four months but when Im home Im there for five months, which is great. Henrys already got more air miles than most people thought flying back and forth to see my parents in Ireland! (C) Cover Media
