Rita Ora and Calvin Harris have broken up, the DJ confirmed on Twitter after both were spotted out together with different people in recent weeks.

"To address speculation, myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago," he said. "She’s a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best."

So what caused the breakup of the couple, who dated for a year? Long distance, primarily … and also Justin Bieber. Seriously. According to TMZ:

Justin and Rita got "touchy feely" with one another while they were in the studio together over the last few months, and word got back to Calvin.

While laying down tracks, Ora and Bieber were "very affectionate," with the singer sitting on his lap, the pop star rubbing her back and so forth.

Justin was also down in Mexico for the last few days, as was Rita, further fueling speculation that the two are dating or at least hanging out.

Either way, Calvin Harris was not a happy camper. At all.

 

He’s already had her things removed from his L.A. house, and will no longer allow the release of songs he worked on with her while they were dating.

Sounds like that Tweet was just Harris being diplomatic.

Ora, 23, hinted in an interview with The Mirror last month that the strain of flying long distances to see Harris, 30, was starting to take a toll.

This was also a factor in her breakup with Rob Kardashian, who famously accused her of cheating on him with like 20 dudes while they were apart.

It was a figure we just couldn’t Belieb … until now.

The singer, who will star in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, has been Instagramming up a storm in Mexico while celebrating a friend’s birthday.

Not taking the split too hard in other words.

No word on whether Justin, whose life’s mission to have sex with hot women appears to be in full effect, will be hollering at her south of the border.
