Just when engagement rumors between Pippa Middleton and boyfriend Nico Jackson are heating up, reports shift to break up rumors when Jackson recently quit his job in the City and decided to work for a hedge fund in Switzerland.

Since Middleton and Jackson will now enter a "long-distance" relationship, reports claim that sooner or later, they will be headed to an unfortunate split. The 35-year-old Jackson will soon leave his role in the Deutsch Bank next month as he is reported to be joining the Jabre Capital as an investment banker in Geneva.

Some reports are already claiming that Middleton and Jackson have already broken up, but there is still no confirmation from either party. It has been reported that Middleton and Jackson were asked to keep a low profile at the request of the Royal family so it may take a while before the couple reacts to all the rumors thrown at them.

The break up reports remain in the loop even though the couple were reported to be house hunting recently. A mansion with six double bedrooms as well as some nanny quarters and a cinema suite was reported to interest Middleton and Jackson. Some speculate that with Jackson's recent plan to move, they may look for properties in Geneva.

It is highly likely that Middleton and Jackson are still together especially when insider sources of several news agencies hint that they are stronger than ever. Evening Standard's source recently said "They are very much an item, their relationship is very strong and they are happy together."

The couple has been dating for two years already and there have also been reports that the two are engaged. Jackson's new career is said to be a $2 billion (£1.6 billion) hedge fund which was set up by Beirut-born businessman Philippe Jabre.
