The younger sister of Kate Middleton has been attracting buzz lately, especially with the reported break up with her longtime boyfriend Alex Loudon.

The new addition to the list of world's most eligible bachelorettes and sister of the Duchess of Cambridge has reportedly split from her 30-year-old boyfriend Alex Loudon. According to sources, friends of the couple had "common knowledge" of the break up and they weren't surprised with the two parting ways. Before the couple split, there have been rumors of Loudon preparing for a proposal to marry Kate Middleton's sister, but all of those were proven untrue after reports of the split broke.

Pippa recently became one of the most-coveted bachelorettes in the world after she made an appearance as Kate's made of honor at the Royal Wedding. ALex Loudon was a former batsman who played for various teams such as Kent, Durham and Warwickschire. In 2008, he enrolled for a full MBA at the London Business School to pursue his career in banking.

"It is common knowledge in their close circle of friends that Pippa and Alex have recently split up", say the sources in a report posted at news.au.com. No statements have been released by either Loudon or the 27-year-old Midleton. Pippa has been recently spotted enjoying herself with tennis at the Queen's Club Championship matches.
