It's over between Minka Kelly and Trevor Noah.

The 40-year-old Friday Night Lights actress and the 37-year-old host of The Daily Show have broken up after dating for about a year, People and Entertainment Tonight reported on Sunday, May 16.

Last August, an insider confirmed to E! News that Minka and Trevor have been seeing each other for "several months," adding that she has been living with him in New York City for awhile and that things were "getting serious" between them. In September, they were photographed together for the first time, getting out of an SUV and walking into his apartment.

In January, Trevor bought a $27.5 million mansion in Los Angeles' Bel-Air neighborhood. "They are still together and very much in love," another insider told E! News at the time.

Then in February, on the TV host's birthday, he and the Titans actress were photographed grabbing some In-N-Out Burger in L.A. Minka was later spotted leaving a Party City store holding a bunch of balloons.

The two have not been photographed together in public since then. However, over the weekend, Trevor was spotted without her at a party at the Pool at Strawberry Moon at the Goodtime Hotel in Miami Beach, Fla., a source there told E! News, adding that the star hung out onstage with Steve Aoki behind the DJ booth and hyped up the crowd.

Trevor and Minka have not commented publicly about their breakup. In fact, they'd remained mum about their relationship since it began.
