They're done.
After just a few months of dating, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato have called it quits, both stars confirmed Monday.
But despite earlier reports, the breakup didn't happen over the phone, Lovato says. "There are so many crazy rumors flying around today," Lovato Tweeted. "Joe and I did split, but it wasn't over the phone. Things didn't work out but we'll remain friends."
PHOTOS: Remember these Hollywood breakups?
"Demi and I knew going into our romantic relationship that it may not be an easy one," Jonas says in a statement to UsMagazine.com. "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."
The split was first reported by Access Hollywood.
(Jonas has ended at least once relationship via phone: back in November 2008, Jonas' ex Taylor Swift admitted he dumped her during a "27 second" phone call a month before.)
Lovato, 17, met Jonas, 20, in 2007 on the set of Disney channel series Camp Rock. The pair finally acknowledged their romance in a March radio interview with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush.

The former couple will still have to deal with one another this summer: they're set to tour together this summer.
Just last week, Lovato gushed to Us that Jonas was "my first serious relationship...He knows me better than I know myself, and I know him better than he knows himself."
PHOTOS: What happened to these young couples?
"She's a strong girl," a source close to the couple says, adding that the breakup isn't "necessarily" forever. "They are so young...I wouldn't count them out yet."
Lovato also shot down reports that she's already seeing someone new post-Joe. "I am NOT dating anybody already," she Tweeted. "Nothing is more important to me than the relationship I have with my fans."
Tell Us What You Think
168If they broke uo or they are together that is their choice it is not our business ..... + love them both no matter what ^^
Joe, you are so stupid. Can't you see Demi is one of a kind? She can sing, she's gorgeous, she's funny, she can dance! You broke up with DEMI for ASHLEY. What's wrong with you Joe? Clear your head and you'll see Demi is waaayyyy better. :))
i cant believe it...Demi Lovato And Joe Jonas have a relationship.... :)
I think that they should get back together they make great couples
DEMI LOVATO IS BEAUTIFUL LEAVE HER ALONE MOST OF YOU JUST HAVE DIFFRENT OPPINIONS BUT MY OPINION IS SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND I DONT HATE ON JOE FOR BREAKING UP WITH HER THERE STILL YOUNG.
Andrea- Nice Choice, she was so immature for him! Perfect? Ha, ha. Joe is so original, he is afunny guy, and Demi..... well, even her smile looks fake.
guys Joe's choise was STUPID
Except that the Joe and the Demi is the Perfect couple there are and SO Beautifull together!!! I CAN'T understand the Joe.
they were the perfect couple i really don't understand Joe
:( Wow, these comments are making me feel worse. Hmm, now I'm ugly.
nice choice Joe Demi is ugly
I use to smile every time i saw them together but now i am mad because of Joe he should of never broke up with Demi because she is nice , funny , and pretty ..... Joe ruins every thing all the time i hate him
joe said that it was his choice to break up..so he is not respecting girls...he courted a girl for the reason that he loves her not "own" her..so guys should ask permission first to the girl if he wants to break up with her..u r d one hu courted her so u have no right to dump her...(my opinion only)i hope joe will meet a girl that will teach him a lesson..
I personally think they make a really cute couple, and I'm a big fan of both of them. But it's not really any of our business to say who they should be dating...By the way I found a website that give you prizes for your opinions and 4 play games here is the topic about Joe Jonas: opinion.EZWINGAME.kom/topics/demi-lovato-admits-to-dating-joe-jonas-do-u-care
What do you mean it didn't work out? Can you explain please
i hope they do get back together x they look sooo cute together. demi has really matured in past 2 yrs x and so has joe x but i never knew u wore glassed till last month x heheh
I think demi and joe are a good couple but they are still really good friends so atleast they arent letting this ruin there friendship ! x
Wow...They looked so perfect together, too. Bummer. Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato were just...PERFECT! And they are still young...I mean...they'd "maybe" go back together soon. Hopefully.
I'm kinda over the jonas brothers, but joe is cute, better than he has before.
