Love Hurts for Jessica
It looks like Jessica Simpson and John Mayer are on the outs.
A source close to the singer-actress tells CBS News that the couple broke up last week. The source says that things may not be over for good since Simpson and Mayer have broken up before.
"They're still talking," the source said.
PEOPLE.com is reporting that the couple have been keeping in close contact, even as she is promoting her movie 'Major Movie Star' at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
"They talk to each other at least six times a day. I don't know if this breakup is permanent, but for right now they are broken up."
Simpson's rep, Lauren Auslander, told CBS that "we don't comment on our clients' personal lives."
The Web site TMZ reported Friday that Mayer was at the New York club Stereo by himself on Thursday night.
Another source who knows the couple confirms to PEOPLE that pair have split. "She's kind and sweet and he's a terrific guy, but it's safe to say it has run its course."
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton first reported news of a split on his blog.
The pair were hand in hand just over a week ago at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala on May 7 in New York City.
Word that Simpson and Mayer were an item began circulating last August but the couple were mum on the topic. Sometime after they began popping up at events.
They got quite cozy in the V.I.P at Christina Aguilera 's New Year's Eve bash at the Hudson Hotel in New York City. Simpson also recently spent time with Mayer in Italy.
Her divorce from singer Nick Lachey was finalized last June. Lachey is dating TV personality Vanessa Minnillo.
