"They&amp;apos;re done.\r\nAfter just a few months of dating, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato have called it quits, both stars confirmed Monday.\r\nBut despite earlier reports, the breakup didn&amp;apos;t happen over the phone, Lovato says. &amp;quot;There are so many crazy rumors flying around today,&amp;quot; Lovato Tweeted. &amp;quot;Joe and I did split, but it wasn&amp;apos;t over the phone. Things didn&amp;apos;t work out but we&amp;apos;ll remain friends.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Demi and I knew going into our romantic relationship that it may not be an easy one,&amp;quot; Jonas says in a statement to UsMagazine.com. &amp;quot;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&amp;apos;s been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her.&amp;quot;\r\nThe split was first reported by Access Hollywood.\r\n(Jonas has ended at least once relationship via phone: back in November 2008, Jonas&amp;apos; ex Taylor Swift admitted he dumped her during a &amp;quot;27 second&amp;quot; phone call a month before.)\r\nLovato, 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&amp;apos;s Billy Bush.\r\n\r\nThe former couple will still have to deal with one another this  summer: they&amp;apos;re set to tour together this summer.\r\nJust last week, Lovato gushed to Us that Jonas was &amp;quot;my first  serious relationship...He knows me better than I know myself, and I know  him better than he knows himself.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s a strong girl,&amp;quot; a source close to the couple says, adding that the breakup isn&amp;apos;t &amp;quot;necessarily&amp;quot; forever. &amp;quot;They are so young...I wouldn&amp;apos;t count them out yet.&amp;quot;\r\nLovato also shot down reports that she&amp;apos;s already seeing someone new post-Joe. &amp;quot;I am NOT dating anybody already,&amp;quot; she Tweeted. &amp;quot;Nothing is more important to me than the relationship I have with my fans.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
