Jennifer Love Hewitt has reportedly delayed her wedding.

It has been claimed the actress and her fiancé Ross McCall decided to postpone the nuptials following a rocky patch caused by the amount of time they have spent time apart.

A friend of Jennifer's said: "Things aren't great between them. It's hard because he's filming in New Mexico and she's in Los Angeles. The relationship is strained and their wedding won't happen anytime soon."

'Ghost Whisperer' star Jennifer, 29, got engaged to Ross, 32, last November. She ruled out a summer wedding saying didn't want to be "a sweaty bride", and revealed she was looking forward to a "small, private, romantic and wonderful" ceremony.

Jennifer also hinted the couple were considering having a surprise marriage, saying: "If we kind of wake up and say, 'Let's go do it,' that's how we will do it."

The actress recently shed 18lbs after unflattering pictures of her on the beach were published.
