It's very likely that the fragment separated recently due to the heat of being near the sun.

this is an asteroid, not a comet - by the way this asteroid is known to roughly share the same orbit as the earth, it's been as close as it's to the sun now for at least millions of years

The majority of asteroids have quite eccentric orbits, so for most of them that was possible, but it looks like this one doesn't.
