Jesse James and Kat Von D began dating after his bitter split from Sandra Bullock last year.

Just weeks after Jesse James repeatedly gushed to the media about his romance with Kat Von D ? while simultaneously trashing his marriage to Sandra Bullock ? the couple may be having some trouble.

James, 42, and Von D, 29, are taking a break from their relationship, according to Life & Style.

"That's what he's telling pals," a source claimed. "He's says there's too much drama for him."

The couple, who became engaged in January, seemed rock-solid ? at least according to recent interviews James gave while promoting his memoir, "American Outlaw."

"She fell in love with me when I was being called Satan," he told People in May. "If that's not a testament to what kind of a person she is and where her intentions are, I think nothing is."

He admitted the two weren't living together, however, since he had moved to Austin and Von D, a tattoo artist, was based in Los Angeles for the foreseeable future.

"What would you rather have ? a perfect partner and be logistically challenged or a half-assed partner who lives next-door?" he asked.

James also said on "Nightline" that Von D was his "match" and "100 percent the first woman that I've ever trusted ... 100 percent."

Not long after they began dating last year, the two started using Twitter to frequently exchange love notes. It seems those days might be long gone.

"I guess I was trying to take to much from the world," James vaguely tweeted on June 5. "Funny how things go from Amazing to S--t in the blink of an eye."

That same day, Von D tweeted "I have no regrets" without any further explanation.

But the couple, if they even split at all, could be working things out. On Wednesday, James seemed quite eager to see his tattooed babe.

"Looong M'f-k'n Day!" he tweeted. "But lucky me, my prize at the end is @thekatvond."
