Devendra Banhart splits with Natalie Portman – Tabloid Hell

It's over between the bearded one and the actress

Devendra Banhart and actress Natalie Portman are no longer an item, according to reports today.

Things apparently just weren't working out between the pair, who started dating in April. Portman subsequently appeared in the video for Banhart’s song 'Carmensita'.

A source told usmagazine.com that the pair were just too different to make it work.

The source claimed: "Things just weren't working out. Natalie is young and they just were very different ultimately."

As previously reported, Devendra Banhart's new side project Megapuss recently unveiled details of their debut album and a West Coast tour, on which they're set to be joined by The Strokes' Fabrizio Moretti.

Megapuss is a collaboration between Banhart and multi-instrumentalist Greg Rogove.

Their debut album, 'Surfing', is due out digitally on September 16 and in CD and vinyl formats on October 7.
