Matt LeBlanc and his long-term partner Andrea Anders have split.

The 47-year-old actor called time on his relationship with girlfriend Anders after eight years together, a spokesperson revealed to US Weekly on Tuesday, and it is believed the pair have been broken up for several months.

Rumours had been rife of a split after LeBlanc attended the premiere for the fourth series of his show Episodes alone on Monday. The couple were last seen in public together at the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles back in August.

LeBlanc started dating Anders after splitting from his ex-wife Melissa McKnight in 2006. He was married to former model McKnight for three years and has a daughter Marina, 10, with her.

Anders starred alongside LeBlanc in his Friends spin-off series Joey for two seasons as his neighbour Alex and the pair soon went public with their romance after hitting it off on set.

However, the split doesn't seem to have affected him too much, with LeBlanc appearing all smiles at the premiere while chatting with Episodes co-star Mircea Monroe.
