Is Heidi and Spencer Pratt's split for real?
Affirmative, says Heidi's rep, who confirms the separation to UsMagazine.com, explaining that nothing legal has been filed.
"Heidi is going through a difficult time and hopes people respect her privacy," the rep tells Us.
An insider insists that the couple, who wed in April of last year, parted ways early last week, with Heidi initiating the break.
Adds the pal: "there are no plans for divorce...they are going through some issues. It's a hiccup."
