"Perhaps Love" actress Zhou Xun has split with Li Daqi, her boyfriend of five years, Zhou's publicist said Wednesday.

In a press release sent to sohu.com, Huang Feng says Zhou and Li chose to be friends after being separated for most of the time. "Both are passionate about their careers and have little time to be together," the agent says.

Li Daqi, who is a popular stylist, met Zhou Xun in 2003 when he worked with the actress-turned singer for her debut album, "Summer". Zhou admitted the relationship in July, 2004.

Zhou was once quoted by the media as saying that Daqi was the right man for her to marry.

Before Li Daqi, Zhou had a romance with actor Li Yapeng, who is now married to pop diva Faye Wong.
