Was Justin Bieber to Blame? Rita Ora Opens Up About Her Split With Calvin Harris


Rita Ora has broken her silence about her break-up with producer Calvin Harris.

Less than a week after he announced via Twitter that their relationship was over, the 23-year-old singer spoke about the split on the social networking site as well.

"I don't usually address speculation but I've had an incredible time w Calvin,& i will treasure the memories," Rita tweeted Thursday. "I've moved on from this topic so i hope people will respect that and do the same."

Days before, Calvin Harris tweeted, "To address speculation - myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago. She is a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best."

After the duo started dating in May 2013, Rita went on to dish to the UK Mirror about how they made their long distance relationship work. "You have to fly each other out, you just have to," she said last month. "Sometimes you fly for 20 hours, sometimes you only fly for five hours. It's an effort, but you make it work."

"I'm not a fan of long distance relationships," Rita continued. "If you had a choice, you want that person with you. It makes me pretty sad. But you work with what you've got."

Before the duo confirmed their split, the "R.I.P." songstress was spotted hanging out with Justin Bieber quite a bit. Not long after, TMZ reported that Rita and Calvin called it quits because he heard she was getting comfy with the Biebs during recording sessions over the past few months.

According to the site, Calvin reportedly found out that the "Confident" crooner had been rubbing his lady's back and she had been sitting in his lap as well.

Neither Rita or Calvin have addressed the Bieber rumors...yet.
