Allen splits with boyfriend

LONDON - British singer Lily Allen has split from her boyfriend Jay Jopling because of their age gap.

According to thesun.co.uk, the 23-year-old Allen was in love with 45-year-old Jopling.

A friend of Allen said: ‘It was her decision to split as she’ll be away a lot this year and wouldn’t get to see Jay much. She also felt the age gap was a bit too big. She felt that both his and her friends disapproved.’

Joping is a modern art dealer worth 100 million pounds. He and Allen were spotted getting intimate on the island of St. Barts.

The friend added: ‘She’ll definitely miss sharing his lifestyle. She loved staying at his huge London pad and talking about art. Their break-up wasn’t acrimonious and they’re still on really good terms.’
