Not married, filing separately, but both listed on a 1099-INT for a joint checking account?

My significant other and I are not married and are filing separately, but received a 1099-INT from the bank where we opened a joint checking account last year (the bank offered a bonus for opening a checking account and setting up direct deposit, which is the full amount reported).  The 1099-INT is addressed to <my name> OR <his name>, and lists my SSN.  Do just I report it on my taxes, or does he need to as well?  Or do we split the amount between our two filings?

Since it has your SSN, the IRS computers will be looking for it to be reported on your income tax return.
