Actress Elizabeth Hurley and former cricketer Shane Warne have reportedly called off their engagement for the second time after an initial split in September.

The 48-year-old brunette beauty and the 44-year-old retired cricketer got back together last month, but if a source is to be believed the couple has now called it quits for good.

"It is very sad and they tried to make it work but there were just too many issues in the way. Elizabeth is taking it one day at a time. She will always be extremely fond of Shane," HELLO! magazine quoted a source as saying.

Rumours of their split were fuelled after Warne tweeted: "The past should be the past and stay there. It destroys the future. Live life for what tomorrow has to offer, not for what happened yesterday."

The duo parted ways in September after Hurley reportedly found intimate text messages from someone else on Warne's mobile phone while packing for a trip to his native Australia.
