The New Girl is now a single girl.

RadarOnline.com has learned Zooey Deschanel and her producer husband Jacob Pechenik are splitting up after over four years of marriage.

“After much discussion and a long period of contemplation we have decided we are better off as friends, business partners and co-parents rather than life partners,” a joint statement from the couple read. “We remain committed to our business, our values and most of all our children. Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time.”
