Blame it on their age difference, according to US Weekly.
"They both decided that after two years, Mandy was a little young. Zach Braff, 31, was ready for something different and they wanted to just kind of test the waters a little bit. It was an amicable break." The magazine reports that Moore's maturity has cooled the formerly linked couple to venture their separate ways.
The beautiful New Englander, Moore, hailing from the "Live Free or Die" state, has a slew of projects in the works. Moore is currently involved in the active development and pre-production of many films.
"Right now, however, Mandy Moore is working overtime. Currently in Europe filming a romantic comedy about the daughter of the U.S. President (The Untitled Mandy Moore Project), Mandy is preparing for a busy summer and fall. This July sees the release of "How To Deal", a film in which she plays a high school girl who has gone sour on love and in early fall, there's 'Coverage' (album) and the Michael Stipe (Being John Malkovich, Velvet Goldmine)-produced noir comedy "Saved", where Mandy plays "the perfect Christian girl who uses her personal relationship with Jesus to take advantage of everyone."
"My plan is that I have no plan," Mandy admits. "I want to get back on the road, especially with this music. Emphasizing that 'Coverage' "an album with real musicians playing real instruments," is very much a progression in her career as a recording artist, Mandy Moore is confident about the next stage of her musical development. "I just want to be on stage, connecting with an audience, and continue to test my boundaries." From Moore's personal website.
The Daily Dish.com reports online that Braff, the star of NBC's "Scrubs" series "has wasted no time moving on -- he was recently seen partying with pals at Hollywood hot spot 'Hyde' on June 8 and unsuccessfully romancing Jessica Simpson."
