How do you want split your string? You said you want split the string, but in your code you are just matching the pattern with string. So Just give an example input and output.

Don't use foreach, just use indexing.
And I don't think your RegEx does what you want.
Try testing what you have: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/39165/RegexTester

Try this,
it works only if they enter two words.

C#

var input =   textBox1.Text;
         var matches = Regex.Matches(input, @"\w+[^\s]*\w+|\w");
         if (matches.Count == 2)
         {
             textBox2.Text = matches[0].Value;
             textBox3.Text = matches[1].Value;
         }
