Pippa Tip: When one’s boyfriend moves to Switzerland to get away from you, keep him as your official boyfriend and then fool around with all of your exes while he’s away.

Yes, at long last, Pippa Middleton and Nico Jackson are finally over. That took forever, and everyone was getting really tired of all of the “engagement rumors” being floated whenever anyone asked why Pippa seemed to only be photographed with ex-boyfriends these days. That’s not really a slam on Pippa: she’s never had the ring and Nico ran off to Switzerland last year for work, so what’s a girl to do? So in Nico’s absence, Pippa was always being seen with Tom Kingston, James Matthews, Alex Loudon and George Percy. Just last week, photographers got pics of Pippa entering James Matthews’ place in the evening and leaving the next morning. So… yeah. Pippa and Nico are over.

Pippa Middleton is single again, PEOPLE can confirm. The sporty sister of Princess Kate has split from Nico Jackson, her boyfriend of three years. Certainly, Pippa , 32, and Nico Jackson, 37, who now works in Switzerland, have found it hard to spend any long periods of time together.

They were last publicly seen together in September, when they were spotted showing PDA during a night out in London. But before, and since, Pippa has been spotted with friends and ex-boyfriends (like Alex Loudon and friend Tom Kingston) as she vacations in the Caribbean and takes part in extreme sports events.

In happier times, Pippa and Nico, who works for a bank in Geneva, had took a short vacation in Venice, Italy, in April, just before the birth of her niece Princess Charlotte. A few days after leaving Venice, they were spotted having a romantic dinner date in London. But Jackson was also absent at Wimbledon this year (the couple enjoyed top seats in the royal enclosure in summer 2014) with Pippa spending time at the tennis event with her brother James instead.

And Pippa has been spending a lot of time with ex-boyfriend James Matthews. Not only was he by her side on vacation (along with brother James, his girlfriend Donna Air, and parents Carol and Michael) in St. Barts recently, they also competed in the grueling Otillo race in Sweden together (he was James Middleton’s teammate but the group ran half the course as a foursome)

But a source who spent time with them at the Otillo swim-run tells PEOPLE there was nothing flirtatious between the pair. “The group of six of them all seemed very close but there was nothing amorous at all, as far as I could see. They all just seemed like good friends.”

A “close friend of Miss Middleton” also confirmed the split to the Daily Mail, saying “Pippa and Nico have parted ways. No third parties were involved.” Riiight. While Nico always struck me as sort of a perfect complement to Pippa – Nico seemed to love the cameras and attention, just like Pippa – I always wondered if he was more of a placeholder, the best she could do until she scored someone with a title or someone with better connections and/or old money. Nico was sort of nouveau riche, not all that well-connected and too focused on his career for Pippa’s tastes. Anyway… I wonder what she’ll do now. It’s weird to think that Pippa is so much more outgoing than Kate and Pippa has always been The Fun Sister, yet Pippa just can’t get one of these guys to propose to her. Always the bridesmaid?
