So much for a fairytale romance! Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are calling it quits, and the Hills starlet is already getting a head start on moving out of the residence she shares with her husband of just over a year.

A rep for Heidi released the following statement to X17online:
    "Heidi wishes that everyone respects her privacy during this difficult time and a public statement will be issued soon."


A source close to Heidi tells X17online exclusively she is distraught that this news got out, as she was having some difficulties with her marriage, but she is "in no means getting a divorce ... this is just a trial separation." Additionally, the source added that this is "100% not a publicity stunt -- Heidi wants to be a legitimate actress and she feels as though the bad press Spencer has been getting would be damaging to her career."

Heidi is reportedly looking for a new place in Malibu, and we're curious to see what happens next! Heidi did tweet "PS: I am not Heidi Pratt, I am Heidi Montag" the other day, so maybe we should have known this was coming?
