Low-Key Elisabetta Canalis Steps Out After George Clooney Split

Retail therapy.

Elisabetta Canalis went shopping in Milan, Italy on Wednesday afternoon with a mysterious man: Her brother, Luigi.

The Italian model, 32, was photographed visiting an electronics shop just hours before she and George Clooney announced the end of their two-year relationship.

"We are not together anymore," Canalis and Clooney, 50, told Us Weekly in a joint statement. "It's very difficult and very personal and we hope everyone can respect our privacy."

No official word yet on what caused the split -- but the once lovey-dovey pair did have different ideas about matrimony.

Once-married (to actress Talia Balsam) Clooney has evidently ruled out getting hitched again; in January he quipped "I was married...I gave it a shot."

By contrast, the never-wed Canalis told Italian mag Chi this past month, "I am a firm believer in marriage...In the future I will be married, but for the time being I am happy as I am," she says. "I don't need anything to confirm how happy I am."

there is NO WAY this bitch is a year younger than me. she looks like she's old enough to be my mom.

I just read their timeline on here. Went public in August 2009, she publicly declared her love for him August 2010 and well, here we are now.

Yeah. I was expecting to hear about their break-up a lot sooner.

She doesn't look 32 to me either. Looks older.

I think Georgey is proably bi. He's a fine ass man.

How long as he married to Talia for?

I think he's into really dirty sex with whoever flicks his bic. Am glad it's not this chick anymore - I think she was boring.

George Clooney, Elisabetta Canalis "Bickering" Nonstop Pre-Split

What went wrong with George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis?

After two years together, the couple announced their breakup to Us Weekly and the world on Wednesday.

A Clooney insider told Us there were major signs of trouble for the actor, 50, and Italian model, 32, during their New Year's getaway in Mexico.

"She drove him nuts," the source says, explaining there was "non-stop bickering over little things...He would only hang out with his friends, and more or less left her to herself and her friends."

Clooney, who's had very few long-term relationships in his life, had been "creating distance" for many months, the source added. His excuse at the time? "Work. [He] was knee-deep in pre-production on a couple projects."

One of those projects was Gravity; he and costar Sandra Bullock are reportedly wrapping up that thriller in London.

Clooney famously swore off remarrying, telling Piers Morgan in January that he wouldn't walk down the aisle again after his failed union with actress Talia Balsam in the early 90s. Italian model Canalis however, seemed more invested in the institution. "I am a firm believer in marriage," she said in a June interview with Italian magazine Chi. "In the future I will be married, but for the time being I am happy as I am."

Well, she had a good run with him. Next.

George has a type. I don't think those chicks are beards. I think he's attracted to Cindy Crawford and his girlfriends tend to be copies of Cindy.

**Chilly Willy** · June 23rd, 2011, 10:46 AM

He's mine, bitch.

**sluce** · June 23rd, 2011, 11:16 AM

I'll have him tied to the bedposts before you figure out where he is.

**Chilly Willy** · June 23rd, 2011, 11:21 AM

You know I had him first when your crotch starts itching after you forced yourself on him.

On another website, someone came up with the theory that George tells his girlfriends to mention marriage in an interview just so it seems like the reason they broke up is because she wanted marriage and he didn't. And the reality is that the contract is over. Didn't Sara Lawson do something similar?
