    Wedding bells aren't in every Cyrus family member's future.

    "Brenda and I have decided to go our separate ways. We split up a couple of months ago," Trace told Us Weekly in a statement Monday. "We will continue to focus on our careers."

    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."

    Song, who played Andrew Garfield's psycho girlfriend in The Social Network, is a successful Disney Channel star whose acting credits include Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, College Road Trip and Stuck in the Suburbs.
