The former couple called off their relationship in July and the 'Dawson's Creek' star admits things are a lot different on the dating scene now than it was a decade ago.

Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Joshua admitted: "Things have changed a little bit since last time I was single. Maybe it was there, but I don't remember it. I mean, everything's on your phone now, right?

"There's no more talking to people anymore. You talk to somebody and they're like, 'Ugh! No, no, no, no, no! We don't do that anymore.' So, yeah, it's been quite a big change."

Meanwhile, it was previously claimed that the pair split because Diane "resented" leaving France to be with her boyfriend in the United States.

A source said: "Diane is fiercely independent and ended up resenting leaving Paris to be with Joshua. She's also disillusioned with Hollywood and wasn't interested in attending events as part of a power couple, she needs her own space. The move was make or break and in the end, it broke them. Joshua is heartbroken."

And Diane - who was previously married to Guillaume Canet - had admitted moving to New York whilst Joshua was appearing in a play in the city was a "big step into adulthood".

Asked if she would consider marrying again, she said: "Welcome to my dilemma. I just moved to New York. I need to unpack and buy some house stuff, like candles and books. [Moving here] was a major commitment. That's a big step into adulthood for me, to allow that time for someone else out of my time."

Despite their split, the couple vowed to stay friends.

Their representatives said in a statement at the time of their split: "Diane Kruger and Josh Jackson have decided to separate and remain friends."
