# A Sweet Teenage Split: AJ Michalka Reveals the Truth Behind Her Phone Breakup with Joe Jonas **Imagine breaking up with your first love over a phone call—at just 15 years old—and calling it "sweet" and "mutual."** That's exactly how AJ Michalka described her 2006 split from Joe Jonas on the *Podcrushed* podcast, shattering rumors of a dramatic text dump.[1][2] AJ, one half of the sister duo Aly & AJ, opened up about their innocent teenage romance that sparked during the Jonas Brothers' *Living the Dream Tour*. She and her sister were opening acts, bonding with Joe on the road. "We were, like, 15. We were so young, eh, I think we were both sloppy and inexperienced," she shared previously on *The Viall Files* podcast.[1] The relationship lasted nearly a year, but when it ended, it was far from messy. "We didn't break up over text, [but] it was over a phone call. I feel like it was a very sweet, amicable [breakup]. I know that sounds crazy at that age," AJ recalled. "It was sweet and, I think, it was mutual."[1][2][3] This story stands out in a world of celebrity breakup drama—like Taylor Swift's infamous short voicemail from Joe.[3] AJ set the record straight, emphasizing respect despite their youth. Fast-forward nearly 20 years: Joe has dated high-profiles like Demi Lovato, Gigi Hadid, and Sophie Turner (with whom he shares two daughters before their 2023 divorce), and is now with model Tatiana Gabriela.[1][2] AJ, meanwhile, has been happily with actor Josh Pence since 2017 and recently reconnected with Joe for a performance, calling it "refreshing" to see his growth.[2] It's a refreshing reminder that not all young love ends in heartbreak—sometimes it just fades kindly, leaving fond memories. Fans even speculate if Aly & AJ's "Potential Breakup Song" was inspired by Joe, though the sisters have denied it.[2]
