Theballerlife.com has learned that actress Eliza Dushku and retired NBA star Rick Fox have decided to call it quits after five years of dating.
According to Dushku, them wanting to live on opposite coasts played a key role in their breakup.
The former Dollhouse star Dushku has moved back to her native Boston.
“Rick’s an L.A. guy and I’m a Boston girl,” she told The Boston Globe.
Dushku, 33, told The Globe that she’s bought a condo near Watertown and is planning to go back to school, but isn’t turning her back on acting.
“I’d rather be a little physically cold here than emotionally cold in L.A.,” she said. “I missed my town and my family.”
Dushku told The Improper Bostonian that she will start studying for a bachelor’s degree in the fall.
“I have a new life right now,” the former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star added. “I’m on kind of a different path for the time being.”
Fox, who is also an actor, was previously married to “Ugly Betty” star Vanessa Williams, with whom he has a daughter. He also has a son from a previous relationship.
