Hollywood couple Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas have called it quits after nearly a year together.

They have split after first being linked in early 2020 while shooting thriller film "Deep Water" in New Orleans.

"Ben is no longer dating Ana. She broke it off. Their relationship was complicated. Ana doesn't want to be Los Angeles based and Ben obviously has to since his kids live in Los Angeles." a source told PEOPLE.

"This is something that was mutual and something that is completely amicable," another source close to Affleck and de Armas adds. "They are in different points in their lives; there is deep love and respect there. Ben continues to want to work on himself. He has three jobs lined up and he's a solid father at home. They are both happy with where they are in their lives."

The Oscar-winning actor didn't seem to be pining for his now-ex, barely waiting a moment before discarding mementos from his romance with the Cuban beauty.

Right after the couple's split made news on Monday, someone was seen trashing a life-sized, cardboard cut-out of the actress in the bins outside Affleck's Brentwood home.

The former couple had been romantically linked since early March 2020, when they were spotted vacationing together on a trip to her native Cuba. They then headed to Costa Rica for a romantic vacation before returning to Los Angeles.

Affleck and de Armas were frequently seen together during the summer as they both spent the quarantine period in Los Angeles.

The "Knives Out" actress confirmed their relationship on Instagram in April when she shared photos of them spending time together for her 32nd birthday.

In the months before their split, de Armas had been spending more quality time with Affleck and his kids, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: daughters Violet, and Seraphina, as well as son Samuel.

In June, she joined Affleck, his kids, and his mom Christine on a family vacation to Georgia.

The two also moved in together in late summer. In August, de Armas was spotted moving her things into Affleck's Los Angeles residence from her Venice, California, home.

A source previously told PEOPLE she placed her Venice, California, home on the market.

The move came shortly after de Armas celebrated Affleck's birthday by gifting him a custom BMW motorcycle, which was built from scratch for Affleck by WYLD Garage Co.
