X Factor USA judge Paula Abdul, 49, and her boyfriend record label boss Jeff Bratton, have split after year and a half together.
The couple who had a long distance relationship, split their time between LA and New York and were said to have little time for their relationship.
According to reports the couple split in November 2011 due to their conflicting work schedules. Bratton confirmed the news to US magazine, People.
He said: “It was an amicable thing. But between the final months of X Factor and my responsibilities with my label Cascine, there was little time for us. We're still close and I'll always be grateful for the time we shared as a couple."
Paula is yet to comment on the split.
Perhaps it was Paula and Simon Cowell's PDA on the red carpet that sealed the deal?
