The American Idol judge and her restaurateur beau have called it quits on their romantic relationship, her publicist Jeffrey Ballard told E! News in a Friday report.
"They broke up months ago," Ballard told E! News, while a rep for Torregiani "insisted" the two are still together.
The 45-year-old Abdul and 32-year-old nightclub owner first met last April following an Idol taping and began dating as the sixth-season wrapped its broadcast run last May.
The couple moved in together last October, however Ballard told E! News that Torregiani -- who is a partner in The Dolce Group, the Los Angeles restaurant group that was co-founded by Big Brother second-season houseguest and All-Stars winner Mike "Boogie" Malin -- is currently living with a friend in the Hollywood Hills.
"[They] still are friendly, though," Ballard told E! News.
