The now ex-girlfriend of the "How I Met Your Mother" star also stated in her lengthy post that she chose an old photograph of the couple because it was taken when they were in love.

According to sources, Segel is yet to make a public statement about the breakup. The actor's relationship with Mixter began in 2014, but their red carpet debut occurred in 2016 at Sean Penn's fundraiser.

Although the 41-year-old Hollywood star is yet to comment on his recent breakup, Segel has previously shared details about some of his past relationships and the brutal way a particular relationship ended.

In a 2009 interview, the actor revealed that the breakup scene from the iconic movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," which he starred in alongside Kristen Bell, was taken from his real life.

Segel explained that a girl once dumped him while he was naked, but unlike the movie where his character stayed nude, he chose to wear clothes after his ex-girlfriend asked him to.

Despite his heartbreaks, the actor has come a long way, especially as a cast member of the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother." The famous show ran for nine seasons from 2005 — 2014.

After his success on the sitcom, Segel created and starred on AMC's series "Dispatches From Elsewhere." The actor told sources at the time that this opportunity allowed him to showcase his version of "The Wizard Of Oz."
