Trace Cyrus and Brenda Song have gone their separate ways.

Fresh on the heels of his sister, Miley Cyrus‘ engagement, Trace has broken things off with Brenda and felt the need to make an official announcement.

“Brenda and I have decided to go our separate ways. We split up a couple of months ago. We will continue to focus on our careers. I wish Brenda the best and much success in the future. I hope everyone can respect our privacy about this situation. Thanks so much.”

Trace and Brenda were engaged in October after a year and a half of dating.

According to a source, “they were in love and they care a lot about each other, but they just weren’t ready for what they got themselves into. . . it just comes down to them being too young and not ready.”

Bummer for Trace. Maybe it had something to do with this?
