O’Connell tells People magazine on Monday at a Los Angeles book release party “Sarah and I actually just broke up. You’ll be the first to know”

O’Connell, 35, the brother of actor Jerry O’Connell, the bachelor on the seventh season of the ABC hit show back in 2005. He chose Brice, 29 during the finale.

The couple has called it quits back in 2007 but reunited. 

This time around Charlie tells People magazine “I think it was a mutual break-up. The thing is that we dated for five years … and [were] just arguing over the same things and stuff like that. And then eventually you’ve got to go your separate ways.”
But he has no harsh words for his ex and knows she’ll be just fine.“She’s a great girl. I’m sure she’ll do great.”

We didn’t think they would last this long to be honest. Life isn’t all glam in reality, we know that, right? Did you think they would eventually call it quits?
