Stacy Keibler wants us to know she & George Clooney hadn’t had sex in ‘months’
I’m loving all of the angst and hand-wringing coming out the George Clooney and Stacy Keibler breakup. It’s like Clooney’s people think that we haven’t identified his “dating” pattern already, and it’s like Stacy Keibler thinks she was the first Clooney Girl EVER. Dear Stacy: you just got Sarah Larsen’d. Anyway, in yesterday’s post I talked about my assumption that George had given Stacy some “parting gifts” with the breakup, which he did with Elisabetta Canalis and Sarah Larsen too. I think Elisabetta got cash and a nondisclosure agreement. And I believe Stacy got jewelry, a condo, and a job hosting a Lifetime reality show. And probably cash and a nondisclosure agreement too! But before Stacy signs on the dotted line and promises to never, ever speak of Clooney’s proclivities (cough, cough), Stacy must have let it slip that she and The Permanent Sexiest Bachelor hadn’t had sex in MONTHS.
George Clooney’s split from Stacy Keibler after two years of dating didn’t exactly come out of nowhere. The couple had been on the rocks for months and had even been going through a bit of a dry spell, sexually speaking, before the breakup, a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands Friday.
“They hadn’t had sex in months,” the source tells Us. “He’s been in Europe, and she’s in L.A., and they haven’t seen each other in a long time. Some girls would be okay with that and just be happy dating George, but not her.”
“She knew he wasn’t looking to get married,” another insider says. “But there was always that fantasy that he would commit. Sadly, it just ran its course.”
Indeed, as Us Weekly previously reported, the couple had been drifting apart for months. “It’s been slowly falling apart for awhile,” one source told Us of the couple. Added another: “Stacy and George have been having ongoing discussions in the last few weeks. It wasn’t a one-sided decision. No one got dumped. They both discussed it and realized it was better that they split.”
Linked since July 2011, the Gravity actor, 52, and the Supermarket Superstar host, 33, made their official red carpet debut together at the Toronto Film Festival that fall. In the two years after, Keibler was a constant presence at Clooney’s side, accompanying him to high-profile events like the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. They also spent plenty of quality time at the Golden Globe winner’s famed Lake Como compound in Italy.
In recent months, however, things were strained. “The end is near,” one source predicted in March. “It’s a matter of time.”
Ouch. I do believe that came from Team Keibler, and that it was aimed at Clooney’s heartthrob, happy-bachelor image. It’s not as hardcore as “letting it slip” to People Mag that your ex is impotent, but it’s still pretty damaging. I also suspect it’s the truth for many reasons. One, I don’t think Stacy and George have been together romantically, physically or whatever since March. I think the past four months have been a negotiation of who would get what and what Stacy needed to sign the nondisclosure agreement and who was going to pay for the decorations in her new condo. Also, the “no sex for months” thing wouldn’t surprise me because George has looked like he’s in a lot of pain for a few years now. I think he’s still dealing with some really serious back problems, which means sex is probably a chore for him. It also wouldn’t surprise me to learn that George is on painkillers. For his back and for whatever injuries he sustained during the “honeymoon” stage of his relationship with Stacy.
