Henry Cavill is allegedly single again. According to The Sun, the 33-year-old actor dumped his 19-year-old girlfriend Tara King after a year of dating. The Bristol University student was reportedly devastated by her separation from the "Man of Steel" star.

"Henry and Tara have split - it is official. Henry said the two of them could remain friends and he even invited her to his recent birthday party, which she went to, but the relationship is over," a source says. "It has been very difficult for Tara, who has been saying he was the love of her life."

Cavill and King first met at London club Mahiki last year. They were spotted together at a rugby match at Twickenham. He later brought her to the London premiere of his movie "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". They also walked the red carpet together at Vanity Fair's Oscar after-party last month.

It's unclear what caused their split, but the Superman depicter once said the large age gap between them had never been a big deal. "People say age is just a number," he insisted. "It's actually real and true sign of someone's maturity. But in this case, she's fantastic."
