Us Weekly is reporting that angel-voiced crooner Justin Timberlake has broken off his long-term relationship with Jessica Biel after three years together. The former boy bander reportedly ended things about a month ago during a phone conversation (!) with Biel and has been telling friends "it’s over."

"There’s no way of knowing if it’s a firm breakup, because with them it’s so hot and cold," said Us Weekly’s source.

Another insider told the mag that Biel is in "severe denial and won’t accept" the breakup.

However, People reports that while the couple is going through a "rough patch," they are still together and are trying to work things out. They were even photographed together in Northern California earlier this week.

"They're together. They're not breaking up. Any time they spend time apart it's because they're working," said People’s insider. "Things have been a bit up in the air recently. They've been spending more time apart – more time with each of their friends, and they've been reevaluating [their relationship]."

"Reevaluating"? Anybody who has ever reevaluated their relationship can tell you that this usually means the couple is within weeks of calling it quits. But OK, fine, we’ll play along for now – but the second JT is single, we will be there to make age-inappropriate advances on him.
