Nicole Richie and fiancé Adam Goldstein's recent split was not mutual, according to reports.
The stunning 'Simple Life' star and club DJ Adam, who dated for a year before getting engaged in February, called time on their nine-month engagement saying it was a joint decision.
But, according to America's New York Post, sources have claimed Goldstein ended the relationship because of Richie's 'moodiness' - attributed to maintaining her stick-thin figure - had put a strain on the couple. Richie's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, confirmed that the couple had split, saying the break-up had been in the works for several days. Richie, the 24-year-old daughter of R&B crooner Lionel Richie, will begin shooting the fourth season of 'Simple Life' early next year. Richie and her co-star and ex-friend, Paris Hilton, have feuded publicly in the past year. The new format of the hit show will allow Richie and Hilton to remain separated. They will each take turns playing a 'wife' and running households, with the family involved each week deciding which did a better job. Hilton announced in October that she was ending her own engagement to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis.Copyright 2005 BANG Media International
