Miranda Lambert and boyfriend Anderson East break up after two years

-

(Aceshowbiz) Miranda Lambert may be back on market. The ex-wife of Blake Shelton has reportedly called it quits with her boyfriend Anderson East after dating for two years, a source tells In Touch. The “Famous in a Small Town” hitmaker last posted a photo of them together on Instagram on January 12. According to the site, the two “grew apart” while on separate tours. But still, the 34-year-old country music singer was devastated by the split. “She didn’t see it coming,” the source claims. An insider insists it wasn’t Anderson who decided to pull the plug, but admits that “dating Miranda took [Anderson] to the top of the musical A-list.” Miranda reportedly tries to divert her attention to music. “She’s been writing songs and she’ll join ‘The Bandwagon Tour’ with Little Big Town in July,” the source adds. “She refuses to sit around feeling sorry for herself.” Miranda and Anderson were confirmed dating in December 2015 after she separated from Blake Shelton in July the same year. The ex-spouses had dated since 2006 before tying the knot in May 2011. The “Austin” singer has been dating Gwen Stefani after meeting on the set of “The Voice”. Miranda and Anderson, who is an R&B and blues rock musician, met at Nashville’s Live on the Green Music Festival in September 2015. Prior to the breakup rumours, there were reports that the pair had got engaged after she proposed to him first in June last year. “They actually got engaged over the phone in late June,” a so-called insider revealed. “Miranda was playing a festival in Chicago and Anderson was at a gig in St. Louis. They were up talking long into the night and suddenly Miranda blurted out, ‘Will you marry me?’

It was reported that Anderson might follow it up with his own proposal, but they never confirmed the engagement speculatio­ns.

(Aceshowbiz) Are Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx already over even before they make it official? Words are the couple, who has been secretly dating for years, has called it quits. According to OK! (via HollywoodL­ife.com), it’s Katie who decided to pull the plug. According to the magazine, they couldn’t agree on how they would handle their relationsh­ip in the public eye. Despite mounting evidence of their romance, the two have never confirmed their relationsh­ip and refused to talk about it when asked by the press. A source says after photos of their PDA surfaced in September 2017, “Katie assumed they were finally ready for a new chapter, but Jamie still seems reluctant to show the world how much he cares about her, or even acknowledg­e that they’re an item.” The mag reports that the final straw for Katie was when she found out that Jamie took his baby mama Kristin Grannis out for lunch in Los Angeles on February 17 after spending Valentine’s Day with Katie. “Katie felt humiliated when she saw the photos of Jamie and his ex,” the so-called insider claims. “She used to shrug off his bad boy behaviour and even thought it helped to keep their relationsh­ip a secret, but now she’s realizing things may never change. It’s not the stable future she envisioned for herself or her for [her daughter] Suri.”

Pointing out Jamie’s abrupt exit from an ESPN interview over a question about Katie and his “no white girls” comment he made in honour of Black History Month, the source adds, “Katie has felt betrayed by Jamie over and over again. Between the outings with his baby mama, his clubbing, and the jokes at her expense, she feels crushed every time she sees him acting like he’s single. It’s hard for her to trust him.” Due to these reasons, Katie reportedly is having a hard time seeing a future with the Academy Awardwinni­ng actor. In contrary to OK!’s report, Us Weekly says that Katie and Jamie agreed not to speak about their relationsh­ip in public. “Katie and Jamie have an agreement that they’ll never talk about their relationsh­ip or each other in the press,” a Katie insider explains. Thus, when the 50-year-old actor/singer/comedian joked, “No white girls until March 1,” she found it funny. “She knows he was joking,” says the source. “She loves his sense of humour and doesn’t take a comment like that personally or seriously.” Moreover, the “Dawson’s Creek” alum “appreciate­d” how Jamie handled the ESPN inquiry. “She felt he was respecting their agreement,” the source shares.
