American Idol judge Paula Abdul has split from her restaurateur boyfriend J.T. Torregiani.

The 46-year-old began dating Torregiani - who is 12 years her junior - last uly (07), and the couple moved in together soon afterwards.

But Abdul's representative, Jeffery Ballard, has confirmed to E! that they're no longer together - and haven't been for some time.

He says, "They broke up months ago."
