LONDON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- British actress Keira Knightley and actor Rupert Friend have ended their 5-year courtship, a source told People.com.

The couple co-starred in the big-screen adaptation of "Pride & Prejudice."

Knightley, 25, is best known for her work in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.

Friend, 29, played the male lead in "The Young Victoria."

A source told People.com distance and busy schedules prompted the split a few months ago.

"It was time for her to move on," the insider said of Knightley.
