OMG—a Gossip guy is back on the market.

After weeks of rumors, Gossip Girl star Matthew Settle has confirmed his split from wife of four years Naama Nativ.

"It's true and we are working on that," the actor who plays Rufus Humphrey in the primetime soap told People. "Things happen in life and you just have to roll with it. I wish things could have been better, but our focus is on our daughter."

The 40-year-old actor and his 26-year-old estranged wife welcomed a daughter, Aven Angelica Settle, last March.

But despite his suddenly single lifestyle, Settle isn't exactly taking to the scene.

"I'm not. I'm not adjusted yet," he told OK!."I'm still working on that, but it's always a tragedy when things happen, and that's all I can say."
