Guess it wasn't a model relationship.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit bombshell Petra Nemcova has called off her engagement to British actor Jamie Belman.

The two got engaged in January 2011, about eight months after being introduced by mutual friends.

It's the second recent breakup involving a Sports Illustrated swimsuit alum, following Anne Vyalitsyna's split with Adam Levine.

"Petra Nemcova and Jamie Belman confirm their separation," Nemcova's rep tells People. "They remain close friends and thank their families for their continued support during this time."

The 28-year-old supermodel, who was most recently seen on Dancing With the Stars, had previously been in high-profile relationships with Sean Penn and James Blunt.

But it was her relationship with the late photographer Simon Atlee that many might remember, after he tragically died in Thailand during the tsunami in the Indian Ocean.

She has since devoted her time to the Happy Hearts Foundation, which she set up to help child survivors of the tragedy.
