Jon Hamm & Jennifer Westfeldt are still together, despite split speculation

Here are some new photos of Jon Hamm and his girlfriend of 13-plus years, Jennifer Westfeldt, arriving at LAX a few days ago. So… they’re still together. Noted! A few weeks ago, The Daily claimed that Jon Hamm had been spotted all over town, chatting up women at random bars. The report came on the heels of a LaineyGossip blind item that seemed to indicate that Jon Hamm might be the kind of dude who screws around with young ladies, and that Jennifer just kind of goes along with it. A lot of you yelled at me because I kind of felt… meh about it. So, let me clarify.

I still feel meh about it. If Lainey’s blind is true (and it probably is), then yes, The Hamm isn’t the dude I thought he was, and he and Westfeldt don’t have the relationship I thought they did. So… I’m very disappointed in him as a person, but because of his long-standing, historical commitment to actually being a decent dude, I’m still going to hold out hope that A) he’s not as big of d-bag as all of this new information indicates and B) the situation is more complicated than what we think. Some people are comparing this to the Kristen Stewart situation just to create a convoluted straw-man argument of “sexism”. There are no photos of Jon Hamm making out with some chick in a Mini Cooper. There are no photos of him grinding his Hamm Dong on a friendly director. There is no public apology and public declaration of love, inviting us to speculate and judge whether the p ever went in the v. The situation is NOT the same. Even taking The Daily’s report at face value… he bought some ladies some drinks. He had some friendly, drunk conversations. That’s it.

But it’s all okay because Jennifer and Jon are still together. Because they held hands as they were walking out of LAX.

PS… I love Jennifer’s jeans.

    If they have been together for 13 years then the more appropriate term for their relationship would be partner or mate instead girlfriend.

    To me, they look to be a couple in love – and to be this way after such a long time deserves credit of dedication and loyalty. This is why it is a sham that Kardashian can have a 72 hour marriage but a same sex couple who have been together in a decade long civil union cannot have the same privelage.

    Perhaps between them they are able to have long conversations married with a sense of humour. And even though they are not “married” in the traditional sense, they are in a civil union, same as Brad and Angelina.

    honestly, i really don’t understand why any of these reports shock people? even reports like this about the most seemingly strong couples. it’s hollywood. i’m pretty sure it’s a crime if someone doesn’t cheat eventually. it’s sad but that’s the way most of them seem to work.

    • erica says:

      My thoughts exactly! Why all the shock if this is true? I know we want to hold certain guys up to a higher standard, but there is no dude alive who is rich and famous that has girls throwing themselves at him who is going to stay monogamous for 13 years. Sorry.

  3. bea says:

    idk………she looks slightly chagrin-ed and he looks defiant.

  4. Rita says:

    He looks guilty to me but then so does she.

  5. Jackie O says:

    ya, what is so surprising….good looking dude becomes successful, has women chasing him, he gives in, female partner puts up with it. same old, same old.

    agreed, at least she has great jeans.

  6. czarina5 says:

    Why do you think the blind item is probably true? As you wrote, there is no evidence to suggest a smoking gun, and because it is a blind item with no names, anyone can make any accusation without being charged with libel.

    Let the photos speak for themselves — they choose to be together — good for them.

    • NM6804 says:

      Blind item followed by reports followed by random people tweeting and outing his sorry ass “game” with women.
      http://www.thedaily.com/page/2012/07/25/072512-ent-jon-hamm-cronin-1-2/

      Maybe because of the blind item, people are keeping an eye out for him, looking for a scoop when he does physically cheat. Either way, something is up. He is attracting negative attention with his openly flirting with random “hot” women. This isn’t a vague reporting, it’s telling dates and places with regular people backing the claims up that he at least:

      – was there
      – chatted up women

      Long before Lainey’s blind item, she also wrote about Westfeldt clinginess. And then: that face.

      Long relationships are good in Hollywood. Good image, fans who support and trust you etc.

      They’re actors btw, photos don’t speak. They almost always project an image that is not in line with who they really are. A photo does not tell you what goes on in private. Look at Stewart and Pattinson for instance.

    • carrie says:

      +1

      they have no reason to stay together except they ‘re happy together

      i complain Lainey’s husband(propably he can’t talk to other women or parties without her)

      • ex-patate says:

        psst, Carrie…pour info…”je le plains” = “I feel sorry for him” –> “I feel sorry for Lainey’s husband” bises!

  7. Dirtnap says:

    The Hammbone wants what it wants.

  8. Hubbahun says:

    I’m sorry but just because you love the Hamm doesn’t mean it isn’t the same sitch as KS. Cheating is cheating and I have no problem imagining him as a douche. Just because there’s no evidence or an apology doesn’t make it any better.

    • lucy2 says:

      You “imagine” he’s a douche, and say there’s no evidence of cheating, but still think it’s the same as Kristen Stewart? I don’t understand.

  9. Jaded says:

    I thought the blind was about Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas – apparently she’s been trying to look the other way for a long time, but finally had enough and took off to Hawaii alone to “think things over”.

  10. Jen34 says:

    I’d be clinging to him, too, if I were her. I still think he’s a decent person and doesn’t want to hurt her, while she is willing to look the other way to keep him.

  11. itstrue says:

    I can’t look at her without thinking “what an unfortunate nose job” or cheek implant or whatever is up with her fake as hell looking face.

  12. Blue says:

    Damn, so even though there is no evidence that he is cheating other than talking to women and buying them, he’s a cheater. Is he supposed to stay in a dark corner and scowl at any woman that dares approach him. Even in these reports that he chatted some women up and bought drinks, it was said that they never left together and there was a time gap between when each party left. I don’t care for him either way. I liked the few episodes of Mad Men but really there needs to be better proof than people having no problem seeing him as a cheat and Lainey’s BI.

  13. Photo Jojo says:

    Maybe they have negotiated a non-monogamous relationship, the details of which we aren’t privy to. It’s a lot more common than you’d think.

    • steph says:

      My thoughts exactly. Or maybe they were trying to find a third party? Or maybe they were on the brinks of seperating, and he talked to a few women. Who knows??

    • ella says:

      That’s what I thought as well. These two seem rather “nontraditional” and liberal in many ways, so I wouldn’t be surprised if their relationship wasn’t a traditional monogamous one either.

      It’s up to every couple to decide for themselves what they consider “cheating”.

      And it bugs me how people are always talking about how the poor woman looks the other way to keep her man. Who knows, she might be hitting on hot young dudes herself.

  14. bubbles says:

    Come on, the Hamm must be shared! he is too damn sexy to be kept to herself by one woman. what a selfish b… simply not fair to all womankind. split! split! split!

    • v says:

      Erm yeah…no sexism here…
      I have a feeling if the blind was about a woman and not a hot dude people wouldn’t be that sceptical…

      • bubbles says:

        I have a feeling you have no sense of humor and are taking celebrity lives A little too serious!

  15. Josie says:

    If they do ever split I feel bad for her; There ain’t anything better than the Hamm.

  16. Mrs. Ari Gold says:

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
    I think they both have issues with drinking, big time. So their relationship is a mess because of their drinking.

    They both clearly love each other deeply. (And I love the Hammbone deeply! 🙂
    But it makes me sad to see them struggling. I wish they’d get sober and figure their shit out together. But life rarely works that way.

  17. Nikki Girl says:

    I have seen no proof whatsoever that Jon Hamm cheats. Seriously nothing except some lame blind item. So I don’t believe it, sorry. I think they’re fine together.

    P.S. I love her whole outfit- cute jeans, cute white shirt!

  18. CurlyMac says:

    Someone I’m close to used to hang out with him on a pretty regular basis. Jon is a grade A douche. I have no doubt that he cheats. He’s the kind of guy that sits around making super heinous frat-guy comment to friends about what he would do with random women who would walk by. I love his acting in Mad Men but outside of that he’s pretty jerky. As for Jennifer, I love her – she’s crazy smart, beautiful, interesting but a total pushover. She’s been trying to get him to marry her for years. The stuff she tolerates is crazy. It’s sad.

    • Whoa says:

      Interesting – I’d love to hear more details (though I know mine is a scummy request).

      I don’t dislike her at all but I find her face near-tragic. I saw “Kissing Jessica Stein” and Westfeldt was very pretty. Her face is like a rictus now, and she doesn’t look young. She just looks bizarre.

  19. lucy2 says:

    It amazes me that people and the tabloids have constructed this whole narrative about them, based on a blind item (because those are ALWAYS true and ALWAYS about who you think they are) and reports of him talking to women at a bar when out with some friends.
    Let’s wait until someone actually commits the crime before throwing them in gossip jail, OK?

    • thinlizzy says:

      If you recall Jennifer wrote and starred in Kissing Jessica Stein which was about a woman who gets into a lesbian relationship then realizes that is not what she wants so she goes backt to men. Hamm had a small part in the film. At most they are into 3-somes which would make everyone happy.

  20. ZenB!tch says:

    He looks awful in these photos.

  21. Kim says:

    Jennifer knows and accepts her man.OT people.com has interview with Elle that Vanessa did.She dumped Depp just as I thought.

  22. skuddles says:

    I like Jon’s style – a pleasing blend of preppy, bad boy, and classic. 🙂

  23. kibbles says:

    I think these two will split eventually. I totally believe she wishes he would marry her and start a family. Her previous comments about having children confirmed that for me. This isn’t a woman who is sure she never wanted children. I think she changed her expectations to be with Hamm and I think that is a shame. I wouldn’t be surprised if once they split, he ends up having a family later in life with a younger woman. This isn’t anything new. If he is cheating on her, she needs to leave him. It isn’t as if they are married with kids and she needs to take into account any legal contracts or children. She can just pack her bags and find a man who can give her what she wants if what she really wants is marriage, family, and monogamy.

    • april says:

      Totally agree. I heard her in an interview with him that she was happy with the dogs they own, as if they were a substitute for children. She seems grateful for the bones he throws her. She needs to get a ring or dump him.

      Notice she is walking with her head down which is typical of low self esteem. Notice he is walking with his head high – typical of someone self confident.

    • Iggles says:

      Sadly, I can see this happening.. 🙁

  24. Boo says:

    Excuse me, but isn’t it Hamm Dongg?

  25. LeeLoo says:

    And for all we know, Jennifer and Jon have given each other hall passes. As I’ve always said, unless she comes out and calls him a cheating douche, I will expect that he still respecting the boundaries of their relationship.

  26. Talie says:

    There was no split speculation…just that he may cheat on her and she may look the other way.

  27. kq says:

    From what I’ve read, there is nothing but flirting in bars going on. Heck I love my man, but I love to flirt in bars, in a good natured sense of course. If someone were to film my life, I guess I’m a terrible cheater too. (for the record I’d never even kiss another dude… but I am a heck of a flirt… not a tease mind you, I never say I”m going to do anything but I love to laugh and joke with cute dudes, nothing wrong with that)

  28. rebecca says:

    I doubt they’ll ever break up. If she’s fine with looking the other way then he’ll keep doing his thing on the side. It’s still annoying that he’s turned out to be such a hypocrite.

  29. Ella says:

    All The Daily actually said was that he took a photo with a blonde girl who said “He was super nice!” and “joked with him about taking a picture with a Jayhawk.” He wasn’t “getting handsy” with Anna Safroncik – they were at a public event, and he put his arm around her for a photo, which actors do with everyone all the time. The “mediocre” girls he (and two other actors) supposedly bought drinks for at the Hot Bird “dipped after 10 min of convo.” Is it possible – just possible – that he wasn’t trying to seduce these girls in the first place? That maybe he was just buying drinks for them because he’s Jon Hamm and has lots of money and they all recognised him and wanted photo ops? Seriously, if The Daily is going to break up a serious long-term relationship, it’s gonna have to do better than that.
