Eliza Dushku and Rick Fox have called it quits.
The “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” actress revealed that she had split with the former NBA star in a Sunday interview with The Boston Globe. The 33-year-old actress grew up in Watertown, a city near Boston, and attributed the breakup to geographical differences.
“Rick’s an LA guy and I’m a Boston girl,” Dushku said.
The “Bring It On” star added that she had recently relocated back to the Boston area and bought a condo that was near the Watertown home where she was raised. Dushku attributed the move to her preference for her hometown as well as plans to attend school.
“I’d rather be a little physically cold than emotionally cold in LA,” she said. “I missed my town and I missed my family. “
Dushku expanded on the differences between Boston and LA living in an interview with Beantown magazine The Improper Bostonian.
“After living in Los Angeles for 15 years, I definitely grew out of being an L.A. hater, but I think there’s a level of truthfulness and individuality here that is refreshing in a business where everyone conforms to certain standards,” she said.
“I just sort of come alive when I’m home,” she added.
Fox and Dushku began dating in 2009, and Fox even filmed a guest spot on Dushku’s drama “Dollhouse” in 2010.
Dushku can next been seen in horror movie “Eloise” co-starring Chase Crawford, which wrapped filming earlier this month.
As for Fox, he was a guest co-host Tuesday on “The View,” but did not mention his breakup on the show.
