George Clooney dumped his girlfriend over engagement rumors, but took her back

gla-003176.jpg
George Clooney is said to have dumped his girlfriend of a record-breaking ten months, Sarah Larson, after hearing rumors that they were engaged. Clooney, 46, suspected that Larson, 29, had a hand in the engagement gossip in order to pressure him into proposing. He promptly dumped her, but took her back a few days later.

Larson is supposedly jealous of Clooney’s working relationship with Renee Zellweger, and Clooney thought that might have prompted her to start the rumor:

“He suspected Sarah leaked the rumor - hoping to push him into a proposal. So he dumped her…”

But the actor knew Sarah was jealous of former girlfriend Renee Zellweger, and he had been seeing a lot of Renee, working together on his new flick “Leatherheads.”

“George figured Sarah hinted they were engaged to keep everyone away - especially Renee,” said the insider.

“Sarah broke down in tears trying to convince George she didn’t plant the rumor, but he didn’t buy it.”

The angry actor gave the beauty her walking papers, but within a few days, called…

“George ended up getting back together with her - on one condition. He made it clear - no wedding ever - and she said she understood.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 14, 2007]

This is George Clooney we’re talking about, so if he shows up at events with a woman several months in a row of course there are going to be rumors that he’s engaged. I’m just surprised these two lasted this long. If it wasn’t for that motorcycle accident that made Clooney think about his own mortality I doubt they would have made it past the four month mark.

Another story that tends to corroborate this is that Clooney was seen flirting with another woman on March 5 at a bar at a hotel. In Touch reported:

George “was really friendly with everyone, but one brunette was just his type and he focused his attention on her,” says an eyewitness. “The girl was obviously into him, too.” [He] couldn’t keep his eyes off the sexy woman all night, according to the witness.

[From In Touch, print edition, March 31, 2008]

If that story about George flirting is true, it happened five days before the engagement rumors broke, so he didn’t really have an excuse and maybe he was getting tired of Larson. Still, the hot and humorous bachelor just might be ready to settle down - into a long term relationship that doesn’t threaten his finances or lifestyle.

George and Sarah are shown at the “Leatherheads” premiere on 3/31/08, thanks to PRPhotos.

  3. xanax, the man is not hot in stills. He has a Richard Gere hotness, a charm that you can only see in movement. But anyway . . .

    It’s got to be a pain in the ass to find a well behaved, decently subdued who can dress up pretty to take whenever you have an event and showing up alone has got to invite all kinds of offers he just isn’t interested in.

    Sarah Larson is Clooney’s go to girl. She knows what he expects and vice versa. Works out well for them both it seems.

  7. Oh Msat!! I feel you, mama. I’m sitting here waiting for Clive Owen to find the right time to tell his poor wife that he has fallen hopelessly in love with me though he has never seen me. But I understand. He doesn’t want to hurt her and this is a delicate time in her life right now.

    *sigh*

  17. He’s the neo-Cary Grant. You cannot deny it. Although Grant married many (too many) times.

    Now when is he finally going to really live that Sarah? It’s time for him to go back to his bachelor status.
    Just to make all those women sigh & smile again.

  19. What ever her past may have been, she must actually be a pretty cool chick to have kept George’s interest these long 10 months

    Eastern Promises was amazing. I think Viggo is my fiance’s new man-crush. I, however, will pine for Johnny till I die

  27. The man is a vain egotistical prick. I used to like him but he is now old and has forgotten the charm he once had. I hope Sarah finds someone who can commit to her properly.
