LEONA Lewis has ended her decade-long relationship with boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa.

The Bleeding Love singer and Al-Chamaa - who met when they were just 10 - decided to call it quits after Lewis busy work schedule stopped them from being able to spend any quality time together.

A friend told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Things have been under pressure for ages between them and they've finally realised that things are not going to be able to progress.

"Leona's schedule means she's in the States a lot when Lou's in London and then when he goes out she's over here.

"Then there's the fact that she's been totally immersed in preparing for her tour. They've barely spent any time together whatsoever."

The final straw is believed to have come on Wednesday when Al-Chamaa didn't turn up to see Lewis perform at London's O2 Arena, despite living just down the road in Hackney.

The source said: "Not showing up on Wednesday was the final straw. She'll always treasure her time with Lou but she knows it's a relationship that's seen better times." - Bang
