Highlights

  • Glamour model Katie Price has split from her Argentinean boyfriend Leandro Penna after seven months.
  • Price, 33, and Penna called off their romance just days after he hinted that they would marry, reported Daily Mail online.
  • The split is said to be due to the language barrier between them, as Price does not speak Spanish and Penna has only a basic grasp of English.
  • After a heartfelt discussion through a translator, they both decided it would be best if the male model moves back to Argentina.
  • "It's over. The truth is Leandro felt isolated being in the UK without any of his friends or family. He decided it would be a good idea to return to Argentina and see his family, and try to get work. She agreed it was probably for the best," a source said.
  • Penna appeared to get homesick after a recent visit from his family and he has gone back to Argentina after taking the decision of splitting with Price.
  • "Leandro decided it was time to take a break. And Katie didn't disagree. Katie knew in her heart that it was coming. She's being very adult about the split and says she didn't see it as a long-term relationship that would lead to marriage and kids. But she will miss him. The language barrier was ultimately the problem for them," a friend said.
  • The couple met in February at Elton John's Oscars party shortly after Price had split from her second husband, cage fighter Alex Reid.
