It seems that since he cheated on Oscar-winner ex-wife Sandra Bullock, love-rat Jesse James just can't hold a relationship down.

Most recently associated with celebrity tattooist Kat Von D of "LA Ink" fame, Jesse's newly single status has been confirmed by Von D who was quoted recently saying, "I am not in a relationship. (And I apologize for all the "back and forth" if it's caused any confusion)," said the star of LA Ink.

The duo called off their engagement in July, for reasons still not entirely clear, only to be back on again and planning a wedding a mere month later.

Now it's off again. As for why they separated, Von D tells People: "It just became clear to me that we were just on two different paths in life."

"My friend put it best ... I am deserving of total, noble love. And as a woman, I think it's important to know your value and never lose sight of that."
