Earlier this week, Justin T. and Cameron D. confirmed that they split back in mid-December. The announcement came right on the hills of rumors that J.T has been cuddling up to an ex-girlfriend turned Memphis real estate agent as well as twenty-two year old actress, Scarlett Johansson.

People Magazine now has the 411 on the events leading up to the split and the current state of their so-called “mutual love and respect for one another,” via one Justin’s buddies:

“He called me around Christmas to say they had broken up,” the tattle told PEOPLE. “They’re not talking to each other because things are a little awkward.”

The friend, who is close to both J.T and Cammy D, has a good idea of what lead to the relationships demise-she’s just too old for him. “I don’t think she’s so much into the scene like he is. He’s really young and he likes to go out. (He) hasn’t been into her for awhile.” Ouch.
