Shia LaBeoufandMargaret Qualleyhave called it quits, a source tells PEOPLE, as theTransformersactor faces allegations of abuse from his ex-girlfriend, singerFKA Twigs.
“They broke up on Saturday. They’re just in different places in their lives,” the source says of the pair who have recently been out seen together on several occasions.
The first source says that Qualley’s main focus remains on her acting and she is “ready to get back to work.” She’s soon heading to Canada where’s set to begin filming a movie alongside Margot Robbie.
The pair were last photographed on Monday in Studio City and previously were spottedholding handson a hike in Los Angeles the day after Christmas.

This follows previous sightings after LaBeouf was seen picking up Qualley from the LAX airport last month. They were then seen showing PDA during various other outings.
A source told PEOPLE last month that LaBeouf, 34, and Qualley, 26, sparked a connection after starring in a NSFW music video together earlier this year.
“They got close when they filmedLove Me Like You Hate Mein the early fall,” the source said. “They are both very passionate people. They are not dating, but have fun together. Margaret is a social butterfly and has a big group of friends. She doesn’t really bring Shia around this group though. She is not interested in having a boyfriend.”
“What I went through with Shia was the worst thing I’ve ever been through in the whole of my life,” Barnett said in an interview withThe New York Times. “I don’t think people would ever think that it would happen to me. But I think that’s the thing. It can happen to anybody.”
LaBeouf later addressed the allegations in several emails to the newspaper, saying he was in no position “to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel.”
“I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years,” he wrote toThe Times. “I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say.”
In a different email, however, he said that “many” of the allegations were not true but explained he owed the women “the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done.”
