She plays a happily married woman on TV but Courtney Thorne-Smith's real-life relationships haven't gone as smoothly.
The According to Jim star just split with her fiancé of two years, cardiologist Robert Andrews.
"Robert and I have amicably decided to call off our engagement," said Thorne-Smith in a statement from her rep. "We remain good friends."
There has been no word on why the couple split, but a National Enquirer article suggests the 36-year-old thesp is something of a control freak who had problems with the doctor's take-charge attitude.
"She likes to be the one in charge. She and Robert had been arguing, so she abruptly decided the engagement was off," said the tab's source.
In contrast to the actress' cool-as-a-cuke statement, the Enquirer claims Thorne-Smith kicked her fiancé to the curb without warning as she embarked on a 10-day cruise to the Bahamas and Key West with her TV costars.
Andrews reportedly moved his belongings out of her Brentwood home while Thorne-Smith was away on vacation.
The actress and the medicine man reportedly met on a blind date and got engaged on Thanksgiving in 2002. They were due to be married this June.
It would have been a second walk down the aisle for Thorne-Smith, who was married once before to genetic scientist Andrew Conrad.
That relationship went bust in 2001, after only seven months of (not so) wedded bliss--the same week Thorne-Smith appeared as the blushing cover bride of In Style magazine's wedding issue.
At the time of that breakup, Thorne-Smith sang a similar tune, saying the two "would remain good friends" in addition to sharing custody of their dogs.
Tab reports blamed the separation on kids, or lack thereof. She wanted them. He didn't.
That thorny issue was apparently never resolved before the onetime twosome swapped vows on June 1, 2000, in a mountaintop garden on the Hawaiian island of Lanai.
California native Thorne-Smith first surfaced in the 1986 TV series Fast Times and feature films such as Lucas and Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise.
She got her big break as the long-suffering Allison Parker on Melrose Place and then jumped to Ally McBeal as attorney Georgia Thomas--a gig she gave up at the end of the third season to pursue a sitcom career.
Thorne-Smith is midway through her third season on ABC's Jim, playing the straight woman to wisecracking TV hubby Jim Belushi.
