"We are currently not together," Del Rey said. "He is a wonderful person. But there are some things with which he has to deal. I will not explain it in detail. This was hard on our relationship, I no longer felt free. We'll see how it goes."
When E! Online asked for comment, Del Rey's camp reportedly had no comment on the split. Another source said that while the two aren't together right now, they can be "on-off."

Del Rey has been making news for other reasons than her relationship recently, as well. In an interview in The Guardian, Del Rey had said "I wish I was dead already." When the writer told the singer not to say that, Del Rey responded, "But I do. I don't want to have to keep doing this. But I am." Del Rey also cited musical heroes Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain.
Cobain's daughter Francis then took to her Twitter to chastise Del Rey for her words. "@LanaDelRey the death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize @LanaDelRey I'll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because ppl like u think it's "cool" @LanaDelRey Well, it's f---ing not. Embrace life, because u only get one life. The ppl u mentioned wasted that life.Don't be 1 of those ppl."
Del Rey responded to her comments by tweeting, "@alka_seltzer666 it's all good. He was asking me a lot about your dad I said I liked him because he was talented not because he died young -- the other half of what I said wasn't really related to the people he mentioned. I don't find that part of music glam either."
