Gramatically, it is perfectly correct although it is a little unusual to phrase it like this. Normally, we would say something like: "I've never heard of her breaking anybody's heart" or, more rarely, "I've never heard of her breaking somebody's heart"

It would be more grammatically correct to use anybody rather than somebody. In this situation and in proper grammar we usually use somebody in affirmative sentences.
I met somebody.
Somebody is knocking at her door.
Anybody would be used in this context for questions and negative sentences.
Is anybody here?
I didn't see anybody.
Even though what I told you is proper grammar, a lot of people would say the sentence the way that you said it.

The sentence is grammatically correct except for the ending punctuation. The last word should appear as this:
. . . heart?" A period is unnecessary nor required.
Additional punctuation marks, except for the semicolon, the colon, and the dash, are never outside the ending quotation mark.

No it is like this: ` I've never heard that she broken somebody's heart.'
