Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo were probably one of the last couples in Hollywood that you would expect to break up. The pair seemed more solid than any other couple and have gone through some tough times together, most notably DeRulo’s neck injury which sidelined him for quite a while.

News of the breakup began to surface on Septmember 25, around the same time that it was reported that Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose were divorcing. It seems to be a bad time to be a young couple in Hollywood.

Sparks and DeRulo have been together for a long time and were engaged at the time of their split. It’s sad to see them part ways but hopefully they can still be friends ans support each other. That’s all you can hope for during a breakup.

According to MTV News, Sparks isn’t crying over her split. Maybe she is doing so quietly and behind closed doors, but in public she is putting on a strong face and facing the media and fans head-on. She tweeted out a positive message on Friday, saying “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” That’s a good way to look at things, especially when so many people immediately start bad-mouthing their ex on social media these days.

Will there be a reconciliation in the future for Sparks and DeRulo? Maybe. It’s probably something that fans would like to see since they seemed to work so well together. But at the end of the day they are going to do what is right for them and that may mean this is the end of the adorable couple for good.
