Britney Spears and Jason Trawick Split!

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have split, a source confirmed to People.

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have split, a source confirmed to People. Britney and Jason started dating in early 2009 and got engaged in December 2011. Britney never shared any wedding plans, and it seems like there won't be "I dos" after all. There have been rumors of trouble for months and now, apparently, it's confirmed.

Britney released a statement saying, "Jason and I have decided to call off our engagement. I'll always adore him and we will remain great friends."

Britney is also leaving The X Factor, she confirmed today in a statement. She wants to get back into the studio, so it sounds like 2013 will mean a fresh start for Britney in more ways than one.

Jennifer is gearing up to make an appearance at Sunday's Golden Globes, where she'll be presenting an award on stage. It hasn't been confirmed if she'll be walking the red carpet with husband Ben Affleck, whose film Argo is up for four awards. Ben was on hand at the Critics' Choice Awards last night, where he took home trophies for both best director and best picture.

Britney Spears announced that she's leaving The X Factor today. She shared the news after speculation came out earlier this week that she would not be returning for the third season. Britney released a statement, saying:

"I've made the very difficult decision not to return for another season. I had an incredible time doing the show and I love the other judges, and I am so proud of my teens, but it's time for me to get back in the studio. Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much! I can't wait to get back out there and do what I love most."
