Ken Paves, celebrity hair stylist, has been BFFs with Jessica Simpson for as long as I can remember, but it appears that the two have called it quits.

The duo, who produced a line of hair extensions and worked together on Simpson’s failed show The Price of Beauty, have even split professionally. When E! News asked Paves if Simpson, 30, was still his client, he had a bit of trouble getting the answer out. He replied:

“Yes, but no, but…” he stammered. “That’s what led to the speculation.”

He went on to claim “we’re both busy” adding that  he’s been “working on a lot of things that have kept me in town or traveling.”

Mmhhmmmm. Apparently their relationship has been strained ever since Jessica began seeing Eric Johnson in May. A source revealed:

“Ken is sick of her cycle of dumping friends when she’s with a guy. She smothers guys and they dump her. Then she goes back to Ken.”

No wonder her hair has looked so awful lately. Word of advice: DO NOT pick your beau over your hairstylist.

I give it another two months. She’ll come crawling back sooner or later, Paves.
