Have Zach Braff and Mandy Moore broken up?

As Zach Braff downed drinks, partied with pals and (unsuccessfully) tried to get Jessica Simpson’s attention on June 8 at West Hollywood hot spot Hyde, he looked like a typical guy on the prowl. And with good reason: A source tells Us Weekly that the Scrubs actor, 31, and his girlfriend of a year and a half, Mandy Moore, 22, have split up.

“There was no drama,” says the source. “They were ready.” “One big factor: their nine-year age gap. “Mandy was very young when they got together and she wanted to see what’s out there, now that she’s a woman,” says the source. “Zach was mature and realized it was time to let her do that.”

Still, not everyone’s sure they’re finished. Scrubs costar Christa Miller said on the Howard Stern Show on June 12 that the couple is still together. Braff’s rep did not return phone calls; Moore’s rep does not comment on her personal life.
