Los Angeles - Supermodel Rachel Hunter, 39, was left stunned when ice hockey star Jarret Stoll, 27, walked out on her with no explanation, emailing guests due to attend their August 14 wedding ceremony to tell them it was off. 

'The August wedding of Rachel Hunter and Jarret Stoll has been cancelled and the couple have decided to split,' Hunter's representative told the gossip publication. 'We ask you to respect Rachel and her family's privacy during this extremely upsetting time.'

Hunter, 39, who was formerly married to Rod Stewart, announced the engagement last August after the couple had dated for two years. The two lived together in Hermosa Beach with Hunter's teenaged children with Stewart, Renee and Liam.
