“She and Alex (Loudon) split briefly in the summer but this time it’s over. They are barely speaking,” the source added.
Loudon is a former cricket player for the Team of England. He is currently a city banker in London.
Loudon met Prince William at the prestigious boys’ school Eton. He allegedly also comes from an aristocratic family.
According to the Telegraph, rumors of their rocky relationship circulated after Pippa entered the media lens as an international sex symbol.
The flattering Alexander McQueen bridesmaid gown she wore to her sister’s royal wedding at Westminster Abbey caused British media outlets, including The Daily Mail, to deem the in-law “Her Royal Hotness.”
Many contend Loudon was too possessive of Pippa after she skyrocketed as a sex symbol.
The split comes just weeks after Loudon reportedly scouted for engagement rings with a friend in the Cotswold’s, taking a special liking to a Diane von Furstenberg ring.
“Alex knows that if he doesn't ask her soon he might lose her. He's an ideal choice for Pippa,” said a friend to The Sun.
Tabloids have praised Pippa for her attractive looks and smart fashion sense. Ever since her sister, Kate Middleton’s wedding to Prince William April 29 at Westminster Abbey, the media has wondered if Pippa will find a prince charming.
Many question if a relationship with William's brother, Prince Harry, is a possibility, especially after Harry's recent split with long time girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
Prince Harry and Pippa were photographed sharing a laugh at their siblings' royal wedding.
