Joe Jonas Dumped Demi Lovato Over Phone!

Some people use their cellphones to keep in touch for friends and family — Joe Jonas uses his to ditch dead weight. The Jonas Brothers singer, who split from Taylor Swift in a 37-second phonecall two years ago, reportedly used the same method to end his romance with Demi Lovato just days ago.

Despite an early report claiming Jonas called it quits with Lovato in a face-to-face confrontation over her media-friendly chats about their relationship, Us Weekly tattles claim Joe actually ditched Demi via mobile because he “didn’t have the heart to do it in person.”

“He thought it wasn’t a good idea for them to be dating and working together all time and was afraid it was ruining the friendship.”

Jonas, 20, and Lovato, 17, met in 2007 while filming The Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock. They confirmed their romance in a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest in March.

Neither Jonas nor Lovato has commented. The pair is set to tour together this summer.

A little food for thought: If you’re not mature enough to sever ties with someone respectfully — and face-to-face — perhaps you’re not mature enough to be dating at all.
