Everyone likes a good bit of gossip, so did I hear ITV correctly when they mentioned that Jenson Button and fiancee Louise Griffiths have split up?

They also mentioned Jenson and DC going out on the town for a big one (maybe they should have invited Kimi). Was that what caused the split, or to celebrate it?

I haven't seen anything in the papers about this (although I don't generally read those sort of papers).

Yup - you heard correctly.

Sky News report it on their website but that's about the only place I've seen it online.

Not surprising really.... DC has this tendency to ditch girlfriends when things get too serious or the M word creeps in and with JB getting hitched this year I reckon he had a few words to put him off the idea ;) (joke!)

My best guess is that Jenson couldn't take her singing any longer.

That wouldn't surprise - the only cheer she got at the Silverstone after-party last year was when she said "and that's enough of me" :lol: [cue BIG cheer].
A bit cruel - I'm sure she's a lovely person, but that doesn't mean she can sing.

Great link - thanks for that.

It beggers the question, "why did they get engaged in the first place?".

I thought they were supposed to be such a wonderful couple!

Indeed, I think I cheered more loudly at that point than I did when Michael won the race! She was just awful.

That's good because now Boyband can concentrate on his dance moves so he can make sure he wins his next big dance competition. :lol:
Brutal

However, it didn't stop there as the two drivers then decided to have a dance competition.

"It was hysterical. They both staggered on to the dancefloor, but Jenson stunned his rival with his hilarious John Travolta moves," the onlooker continued.

"They were both taking it deadly seriously. There was a crowd of clubbers standing around them cheering and clapping."

gawd. :lol:

Well,

If certain scurrillous gossip sites are to be believed, Jenson didn't take the relationship very seriously from day one. Apparently, none of the hacks who cover the z-list celebrity scene knew who JB was, so he got away with certain 'indiscretions' for quite some time.

Considering that Emily (the snapper) told us that evening she had no idea at all who the girl was, that's a fairly presumptuous caption!

Whatever happened to DC's girl, Simone Abdelnour? We used to get dozens of pics of her, but these days hardly any.... I believe they're still together, but she's more out of the limelight I guess...

To be 100% honest but frank (hopefully not insulting) but.....WHO CARES?
It has absolutely no impact on neither motor racing, nor his performances... outside of Hello magazine and The Sun of course!

Button isn't a serious guy, he like the hype, and the academy girl was good for money and gossip!

now that his fiancée fade up, he's not very interested, this guy haven't maturity not to have kids, but to make beleive his fiancée that isn't the right moment!

an easy guy for easy girls, without interests!

Harsh, and broadly incorrect.
He had been with Louise Griffiths for YEARS. since he was about 20 i think.

he was never into her because of her 'singing career'.


I bet you he checks out this forum every now and then to see all the absolute b*llox that is written and probably has a bl00dy good laugh at threads like this !!

Hi Jens..! (i haven't quite mastered Clay Pigeon yet. The double-apex right-hander after Billy's is a top corner though.)

Such comments are quite idiotic unless you actually know the guy personally.

They were already together long before she participated in Fame Academy.

Indeed, back then she was only a once-failed popstar.
