The couple have not been seen together since the Oscars in February, when they went to Elton John's bash.
A report in today's Sun said Petra, 27 - whose fiancee Simon Atlee died when they were caught in the Asian Tsunami in 2004 - is upset over the split but realised the relationship had come to an end.
A source told The Sun: "They are still on close terms as friends and they speak all the time.
"James and Petra didn't get to spend enough time together because their careers have kept them on different sides of the globe for much of the time."
"James is now enjoying being a single man - he's having the time of his life thanks to his huge success."
In recent weeks, Blunt has become a regular fixture in the Hollywood nightlife scene, hitting the town solo. US reports have also linked him to actress Lindsay Lohan.
He was spotted on March 21 - at both club Les Deux, where he hung with pal Robbie Williams, and later at Teddy's, where he partied with Lindsay Lohan, Kelly Osbourne and Amy Winehouse.
According to a witness at Teddy's interviewed by People Magazine, "Lindsay and James were never affectionate, but they did seem flirty, standing right next to each other, and constantly talking."
Nemcova and Blunt met in December 2005 and started dating the following year. In November 2006, rumors circulated that they'd split, but the couple denied the stories.
Blunt was the Czech model's first serious relationship since her photographer boyfriend died in Thailand.
Nemcova survived by clinging to a palm tree for eight hours, and suffered a broken pelvis.
Blunt was recently in the news when police said he was involved in a car accident outside a pre-Oscar party in which a man's foot was run over. Blunt's spokesman says the singer was steering through a crowd of paparazzi.
