Celebrity / Uma Thurman Uma Thurman Calls Off Engagement, Again She and Arki Busson are no more, once more By Newser Editors, Newser Staff Posted Apr 21, 2014 10:11 AM CDT Copied Uma Thurman and Arki Busson attend a National Audubon Society gala, Jan. 17, 2013, in New York. (AP Photo/Peter Kramer, file) The second time was apparently not the charm for Uma Thurman. The Daily Mail is reporting that the actress has called off her engagement to Arpad "Arki" Busson—again. A rough timeline: The two started dating in 2007, got engaged in 2008, called it off in 2009, got back together in 2011, and got engaged and had a daughter together in 2012 (and gave her a really unusual name). As for what went wrong between the French-born hedge fund manager (who has kids with Elle MacPherson) and the actress: One source says distance, with Uma in New York and Arki in London. The proof of their split, since neither's rep commented? The fact that Uma went to an April 8 gala solo and engagement ring-less, and the fact that they've recently been seen at only "one or two" events lately, looking "miserable."
