(CBS)  Jessica Simpson and John Mayer are no longer a couple.

A source close to the singer-actress tells The ShowBuzz that they broke up last week.

The source says that things may not be over for good since Simpson and Mayer have split up before.

"They're still talking," the source said.

Simpson's rep, Lauren Auslander, told The ShowBuzz 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.

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.

Everyone who is surprised by this, raise your right hand...
Oh, wait, those of you (male) who think this little blonde bimbo is hot probably are busy with that hand, aren't ya?
John Mayer is too talented and smart for this girl and I am glad he woke up and realized that, before he did something really stupid and married her - Nick, you did good to get away when you could...

John Mayer is so talented and good looking. When he decides to stop playing with Barbie he has plently of attractive and intelligent women who would love to be with him. I just hope he dosent make the same mistake Nick Lachey did.

She is the classic dumb blonde so what he sees in her has to be physical NOT intellectual.
