Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy ended their relationship on Friday, August 1, after being engaged for 5 years.

A representative for the former football star told PEOPLE in a statement, They love each other very much, but with the distance and work schedule it has been hard to maintain the relationship. The Live! with Kelly and Michael host started dating Murphy in 2007. Strahan was previously married to Jean Muggli while Murphys a former wife of Eddie Murphy. Strahan and Murphy got engaged in 2009. The two have nine children between them and have kept quite about their personal lives throughout the relationship. In a recent interview with Ebony magazine, Strahan revealed that Murphy was the perfect woman for him because the 46-year-old beauty was very family-oriented. The Good Morning America co-host said, Its great. As a divorced man, you just want somebody around your kids whos respectful and will treat them like her own. When you understand that, theres never any issue. We laugh and are at graduations and birthday parties, you know... all that stuff. The former New York Giants star continued, I love the kids and the family. For us, its key that we maintain normalcy. We have a great life. People can buy into their own celebrity, and thats a dangerous thing.
