NEW YORK - Nicole Richie and her fiance, Adam Goldstein, have called off their nine-month engagement.

Richie's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that the couple have split. She said the breakup had been in the works for several days, but would not give any further details.

The split was first reported by "Access Hollywood" and Us Weekly magazine.

Richie, co-star of the reality series "The Simple Life," and Goldstein, a professional club DJ who goes by the name DJ AM, had dated for a year before becoming engaged last February.

Richie, the 24-year-old daughter of R&B crooner Lionel Richie, will begin shooting the fourth season of "Simple Life" early next year. Richie and her co-star and ex-friend, Paris Hilton, have feuded publicly in the past year.

The new format of "The Simple Life" will air on E! — not Fox — and will allow Richie and Hilton to remain separated. They will each take turns playing a "wife" and running households, with the family involved each week deciding which did a better job.

Hilton announced in October that she was ending her own engagement to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis.

I'm shocked at this one! They really seemed so cute together. Man I was dying to see what her wedding would be like as well!

I hate to be the one to say it (cause I'm sure more of us are thinking it) but if I was her fiancee, I would not want to marry someone who is so obviously starving herself into oblivion. Regardless of who broke up with who, I think for her sake this is a smart move - it seems like she needs to focus on getting herself healthy right now more than anything. That's just my two cents.

Though I do want to add that I did think they seemed very in love and it is a bummer :(

I thought these pics just taken just a week ago? I would hate that everything I do with my life is done for an effect or ulterior motive.

I honestly sort of think that he's part of the issue w/her weight loss. Did you know that he used to be really fat and had gastric bypass surgery and lost all kinds of weight? Now he's a twig too. The both of them probably starve themselves together. Sorry, I know that's mean.

I guess I'm the only one who isn't surprised, but I guess that's because EVERYONE in hollywood keeps breaking up, so nothing's shocking at this point.

That's what came to mind when I heard the report this AM, I'm so sad, I was rooting for them.

blah. i dont want to sound like a hater but I always thought they tried too hard to look in love when the papparizi were around. She would always be in his lap during lunch, kissing like crazy while they were walking their dog, etc.

I think she's cute but they would drive me crazy with the PDA's!
