Jemi No More: Joe & Demi Confirm Breakup Via Twitter

By Bashira Webb

Single guys and gals, commence jumping for delusional joy! Heartthrob Joe Jonas and Disney starlet Demi Lovato have officially broken up. News broke yesterday (May 24), with rumors circulating that Joe broke up with Demi on the phone. Harsh!

Today (May 25), Demi took to Twitter to set the record straight:

“There are so many crazy rumors flying around today. I'd like to clear a few things up. First, Joe and I did split but it wasn't over the phone. Things didn't work out but we'll remain friends. Secondly, I am NOT dating anybody already. Nothing is more important to me than the relationship I have with my fans..Just thought you guys should know this.”

Shortly after Demi spoke her piece, Joe released his own statement:

“Demi and I knew going into our romantic relationship that it may not be an easy one. I realize over the time we have shared together that I feel I care more about our friendship right now. It was my choice to breakup but I love her as a friend. She's been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her.”

At least they are both being mature about this! Joe has obviously learned from his previous relationship; back in November 2008, Jonas' ex Taylor Swift admitted he dumped her during a "27 second" phone call.

Unfortunately, Jemi's break up couldn’t have come at a more awkward time; the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato are about to embark on their “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” world tour.

That sounds like tons of fun, being stuck on a bus with your ex boo and his brothers.

Don't worry Demi, MTV News has got your back: check out their awesome breakup metal playlist they made for you. Rage more!
