One of the most high profile and most talked about romantic pairings in both sports and entertainment may be on permanent hiatus.

Pop star RedFoo (real name Stefan Gordy) and tennis star Victoria Azarenka are taking a long break according to the singer.

In a new interview with the Daily Telegraph, RedFoo talks mostly about his new music ventures in Australia that includes being a judge on that nation's version of the "X Factor" reality music show.

Yet he also revealed that his two year relationship with Azarenka is on a mutually agreed upon hiatus at the moment.

“I think that you know careers are one of the most important things to an individual," RedFoo said about Azarenka. "She has an amazing career and opportunity to be the next greatest women’s tennis player ever. If Serena (Williams) is the greatest, I think she has the talent and the work ethic to be the next best."

Both were last seen together in Sydney back in April during a public outing.

RedFoo, 38, chalks up the decision in both he and Azarenka, 24, needing more time to focus on their individual goals.

“I love my career and music and performing and traveling and I just think that the best environment, the best situation for love, for relationships, is when both people are retired. And that’s what I got to say.”

Azarenka, a former No. 1 and two-time Australian Open champion, has been sidelined for several months with a foot injury. She is expected to make her return at next week's WTA event at Eastbourne.
