Seemingly mere moments after Pimpa Joe gave his double thumbs up to daughter Jessica Simpson's and John Mayer's relationship, sadly, it's all over.

Jessica Simpson and John Mayer have ended their romance – but perhaps not for good, a source close to Simpson tells PEOPLE.

"They have broken up," says the source. "But they have broken up and gotten back together at least ten times before."

According to the source, the pair are in constant contact – even as Simpson promotes her film Major Movie Star at the Cannes Film Festival in France. "They talk to each other at least six times a day. I don't know if this breakup is permanent, but for right now they are broken up."

In fact, the pair have "been emailing and talking to each other," since Simpson went to Cannes, says a Simpson friend. "I'm sure they'll get back together."

As for why the two singers split, a friend of Mayer's says, "John did say that he broke up [with Jessica]. He said that it was because he was just over it."

But the pal says there is no other woman. "He's fine about it, he's not upset – but he's definitely not looking for someone right now."

A split between the two has happened before, and I predict that this is yet another publicity stunt concocted by Pimpa Joe. After all, Chestica does have a new movie coming out soon, and her last two have both been bombs.
