Brody Jenner hasn't found his queen of Malibu after all.

The reality-TV scion has parted ways with his Playboy Playmate girlfriend, Jayde Nicole, sources close to the ex-couple confirm to E! News.

"'Sometimes when you truly love someone you have to let them go.....' I never really understood that quote until now," Nicole wrote on Twitter Friday evening, a tweet that makes plenty of sense now.

Our sources say the pair had been fighting leading up to Jenner's trip to Australia, which he returned from Monday after deciding to stay a couple of days longer even though the rest of his traveling companions had taken off.

"Might just stay here and start a new life," he tweeted, having also written that he'll be heading to Melbourne in March.

Yeah, not exactly something the girl waiting for you back home wants to hear.

"Brody is relieved," says a pal of the breakup. "He's been wanting to move on. She was a handful. There were a lot of jealousy issues."

Another source tells E! that Nicole has moved out of Jenner's West Hollywood condo into her own apartment.

The pair had been together for more than a year. No word on whether Jenner ever made it outside the box during that time.
