Anne Hathaway is not only getting smart, she's apparently wising up.
Reports are ramping up that the actress has split from her scandal-prone boyfriend of the past four years, Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri, after she was solo on the red carpet at Monday's Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, Get Smart.
Hathaway's publicist, Stephen Huvane, remained mum about reports in People, the New York Daily News and British tabs that the actress put the brakes on the relationship over the weekend.
"We won't be commenting on tabloid reports about Anne's personal life," he told E! News.
Those not on her payroll, however, weren't quite as tight-lipped.
"There's been a breakup, God willing it's forever," a source close to the Hathaway family told E! News, adding that the actress' father, lawyer Gerald, has not exactly been a cheerleader for the relationship.
The U.K.'s Mail on Sunday was the first to suggest Hathaway pulled the plug, saying the 25-year-old did the dumping "because of the effects [Follieri's] controversial business dealings could have on her career."
As it is, the 29-year-old Follieri has been making the wrong kind of headlines of late.
Last week, it was revealed that the entrepreneur was under investigation by the New York State Attorney General after it was discovered the state had no record of the requisite IRS tax disclosure forms for his Follieri Foundation, which Hathaway once served on the board of directors for.
He also made headlines in April, when he was arrested for allegedly bouncing a $215,000 check to an associate and failing to pay his public relations company.
Needless to say, it was not the best PR move.
