The O.C. star Mischa Barton and Brandon Davis, her boyfriend of more than a year, have split.

"They are no longer together but they remain close friends," Barton's publicist, Craig Schneider, said. No third party was involved, Schneider adds. While Barton's rep would not provide additional details about the split, a source close to the 19-year-old actress says, "It developed over the last week."

Barton began dating Davis, the twentysomething grandson of billionaire Marvin Davis, after the two were introduced at a charity event in February 2004.

After filming the Italian-set feature Decameron: Angels & Virgins in Europe recently (opposite Star Wars actor Hayden Christensen), Barton is now back at work on the set of The O.C.

--Eh, you knew that wasn't going to last. He seemed like dead weight.
