After five years of dating, Eliza Dushku and Rick Fox have called it quits.

The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actress revealed in an interview with The Boston Globe that her desire to return to her native Boston was the primary reason for the breakup with the former Boston Celtics forward.

"Rick's an L.A. guy and I'm a Boston girl," she told The Boston Globe.

The 33-year-old added that she recently bought a condo close to her childhood home in Watertown, Mass., and she plans to go back to school, as well.

"I'd rather be a little physically cold here than emotionally cold in LA," she said. "I missed my town and I missed my family."

Dushku is unsure of what subject she'll study or what college she'll attend.

Dushku and Fox began dating in 2009.
