Where’s an episode of Hey Paula when you need one?

After nearly a year together, E! has confirmed that Paula Abdul is no longer with her restauranteur boyfriend. J.T. Torregiani, who was 13 years younger than the American Idol judge, had been living with Abdul as well.

Just last October, Paula talked to People about wanting to have a baby soon. Though she was keeping her medical options open, she remained cautiously optimistic about her new relationship with Torregiani. “He’s a positive force that has come into my life right now. Where it leads, who knows?”
