Ex boyfriend's friend contacting me?

Okay so I broke up with my boyfriend about a month ago. The other day his friend, who I had only met twice messages me and asks what happened to me and my ex. I told him and blah blah blah he was like 'I'm sorry but o well there's always something better' and then started talking bout other stuff. It turns out my ex had only told his friends we had broken up a few days ago even tho we broke up a month ago and haven't talked since

so I have 2 questions...

1. Why would my ex not tell anyone we had broken up? Even hos best friend?

2. Why would his friend ask me what happened if he already knew? Just trying to talk to me or what? Idk...

Anything would help, like what would you mean if you were them?

Thanks 4 helping!
