A couple of weeks ago, we saw photos of nearly unrecognizable (read: normally dressed) Lady Gaga toting around a baby. The baby was identified as the son of her on-again boyfriend, an art director with her production company named Matthew Williams. Williams designs Gaga’s crazy outfits and is partially to blame for her attention-getting style. It turns out that there’s a whole backstory there and it’s not favorable to Gaga or Williams. Williams and Gaga were dating up until late 2008, but had broken up for over a year. Williams was in a live-in relationship with his baby’s mother up until he rekindled his relationship with Gaga while they were on tour together. When sparks flew between the two, Williams dumped his girlfriend and the mother of his baby over the phone.
In the March 1 issue of Star — on sale today — we report that when a dressed down Gaga was photographed toting a tot on Feb.3, she was on a shopping trip with on-again boyfriend, Matthew “Dada” Williams, an art director with her Hause of Gaga production company. And the adorable little tot balanced on Gaga’s hip was Matt’s 10-month-old son, Cairo, by his former live-in love — fashion stylist Erin Hirsh, who was coldly dumped by Matt after Gaga rekindled their romance, sources tell Star exclusively!
“Matt was crazy about Erin, but then Gaga manipulated to get him back,” says a friend.
When Cairo was just 2 months old, Matt left Erin and the baby behind to join Gaga on her international tour — and that was the beginning of the end of his family life. Soon after he called Erin to tell her he wouldn’t be coming home. While Matt didn’t say his decision was because he had rekindled his romance with the disco goddess. Soon after, photos surfaced of Gaga and Matthew kissing passionately during a night out in London.
“Erin saw the pictures and realized what was going down,” says the friend. “Even though Matt had told her in so many words that they were through, actually seeing Gaga getting it on with the father of her child was absolutely devastating to her.”
[From Star Magazine’s website]
The print edition of Star has more, including quotes from the other woman Erin Hirsh’s mom. She said simply that “My daughter and Matthew were together for a year and a half – but they’re no longer a couple.” Unnamed sources are quoted as saying “Matt has absolutely not apologized to Erin. He thinks he’s done nothing wrong whatsoever. It’s a shame, but he’s impressionable and seems to be caught up in this magic ride of fame.” They also say that Matt isn’t great about arranging visitation with his son, Cairo. (What kind of name is Cairo?) “Matt does try to see Cairo when he’s in town, but sometimes he doesn’t show up when he’s supposed to. He can be really flaky.”
It’s not surprising to hear that the guy responsible for Gaga’s outrageous style is an unfaithful flake. I don’t know much about Lady Gaga but I didn’t expect her to be the type of person to date a guy with a girlfriend. This crap happens all the time though.
In related Lady Gaga news, she’s helping promote a line of condoms designed by Jeremy Scott. Gaga, a representative of the MAC AIDS Viva Glam campaign to increase AIDs awareness, calls the condoms “a fashion statement.” I guess she won’t be toting around her own baby anytime soon.
Note: I’m not sure that the guy below is Williams, but it looks like the same guy identified as him in the Star article.
Once again, women cannot manipulate men into doing anything they do not want to do. Blame her all you want for him leaving the girlfriend and baby, but he chose to do it.
So Erin was dating this guy for less than a year and got pregnant? Silly girl. He should be the one thinking about condoms!
Thank you, Maleficent, for pointing out what so many refuse to acknowledge: if a man has a home and chooses to fool around, he is just as much (if not more) of a homewrecker than the woman with whom he chooses to fool around.
What a wonderful guy, leaves a girlfriend with a two month old and then never comes to see his kid. What a catch! Way to go Lady Gaga.
Hel, I don’t think that’s a fair statement. Lots of promises can be made in a year. My friend got pregnant with her boyfriend of a few months and they’ve been together now 18 years.
I’m of two minds on this…1) If a guy can be lured away from his wife and child, you know he’s not worth keeping, so forget about him so a baby can have his daddy. 2) If a guy can be lured away from his wife and child, then it’s only a matter of time and better for all to do it sooner than later.
Meh, I just don’t know.
People date and break up all the time. Even with babies involved. But of course, there must be a vixen to blame. Because men are so weak and easy to manipulate that the poor guy just couldn’t see it coming.
Let us not blame him for his choice to leave his girlfriend and baby and go gallivanting around with an ex girlfriend. That would be far too reasonable.
ja what a catch, and if that guy in the photo is him, hes even more of catch ( *kisses george cloney goodbye for the new handsome man of lady gaga*)
Yeah, I’m not a real GaGa fan – but I’m really getting sick of the double standard.
Compatibility shouldn’t be solely determined by whether or not you can reproduce. Sad for the kid – but it didn’t sound like he’d have an attentive father in the first place.
Once again – don’t have a damn baby with somebody you’ve only been with for a year or less and you will never have this bloody problem!
Cheeze, it’s not rocket science – wear one of them condoms for fcuk’s sake. 🙄
I finally figured out what this headpiece reminds me of – a Giant piece of Popcorn.
Totally agree – no one, male or female, can be a “homewrecker”. It’s the person’s choice whether or not they want to stay or go. He chose to go, which is not her fault.
At least isn’t Matt Williams the one who designed the condoms GaGa is promoting… Can you imaging it? Condoms with feathers and sparkles?
Agreed. They would both be homewreckers in this situation, I would say. Although maybe the term is used by women then applied to other women because we would expect better from our fellow women. Who knows?
And why would you want to be with a man who would leave a family behind under those circumstances anyway? It’s not such a difficult life lesson. If they will do it with you, they will do it too you.
I don’t think it’s quite as bad as some other stories. They already an off-on relationship before this woman Erin came along…maybe Erin was the man-stealer! Also they were not together that long, and they weren’t married. None of that makes it ok, but I think there’s more to the story than just the label homewrecker.
How is Gaga a homewrecker when Erin and what’s his face were not married? People do what they want and how do I even know if their relationship wasn’t falling apart in the first place. A baby is not going to solve things if the relationship is already in shambles.Hopefully the child will have a good life regardless of the stupid choices the kid’s parents made.
Funny to hear people dictate how long u should be with some1 before having a baby with them. Wtsup with that? I knw pple that were together 6 months nd even less, had babies nd have been together for ova 20yrs. Time has nothing to do with it. Now Erin is to blame? Sick!
They were not married. Sorry to sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but boyfriend/girlfriend with baby is not a permanent situation. (Yeah, yeah I know, married doesnt necessarily mean permanent either) But boyfriend/girlfriend relationships either become marriages or they don’t, a dating relationship is easier to walk away from. The guy sounds pretty selfish, but he’s entitled to break up with his girlfriend and date someone else. He obviously does not love her.
I know there are posters saying how their friend had a baby with someone they just met and they’ve been together for 20 years. Good for them. They made a good choice of person to date. This girl Erin clearly did not.
im sure hes a big boy and made the decision to be with gaga all by himself. and who cares if he has a kid or not. shi* happens.
That baby is a cute one.
She’s straight??
he’s the one who left. what.. so all men are as pure as the Virgin Mary and are just at the whims of us evil ladies?
please.. he did this all himself.
Would somebody please tell this GAGA person she looks like an idiot? Sheesh, it is Halloween every day for her.
I thought she was a guy? Right, everyone’s always talking about her tuck, so now she’s not a guy, she’s a homewrecker slut? Bah.
I saw pictures of her sunbathing with a guy (looks like the one above and the article mentioned that she was on again/off again with the guy) at least 6 months ago. So this is hardly a new development that his former girlfriend didn’t see coming.
How does she walk with that crap on her head? She’s a miniature person and those things are about as big as she is.
What’s wrong with her doing whatever it is for condoms? It’s not like she’s selling Gaga vibrators (yet).
Didn’t Britney do the same with Kevin? how long did that last?
Unless your vag is made out of gold and it also flows out of it, there’s no excuse for men to always let the women take all the blame
The man left his girl for gaga, why is that her problem? Its the mans issue. Whatever! There is nothing here.
I dont see anything wrong with what she did. Please. Aint nothing
@snowball:
Totally love that comment.
And the vibrator just might be a good money making scheme.
That outfit looks like a dried up money shot from a porn movie.
I don’t get her point. LOOKATMELOOKATMELOOKATME … okay, i’m looking… now what?
I’m surprised at how many people think that just being married implies some sort of deeper commitment or automatic “hands-off”, while someone unmarried but in a serious LTR is somehow not expected to be faithful? Sorry but that’s BS. My boyfriend is my life partner, but we don’t want or need the unnecessary pressures of a purely tradition-based institution like marriage. They’re both just as shitty for fucking around with each other while he was involved in a committed relationship and had a child.
side note: all those ridiculous half-masks just draw more attention to that FUG head. can’t stand her.
It’s not so much her fault as it is his.
Oh and BeckyR,
“Sheesh, it is Halloween every day for her.”
Hence, the monster ball. she did a 50’s horror themed photo shoot over the summer, and that’s where she got all this inspiration from.
“I’ve become really fascinated with fantasy and monster movies and the naïveté of the ’50s. Somehow I feel, socially, after a war or after something really bad happens there’s a rebirth of naïveté, so that’s where my obsession comes from. That’s when the fame monster is born.”
Lady Gaga is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Seriously. She is so damn beautiful and I love her style. All her haters are just jealous!
: ), a long time make a note of. Well actually I can use this article too, I’m so glad I found this site again. I need this article one of my school projects, fortunately for me mine has a similar topic as yours. Thanks, happy trails.How to Make My Penis Bigger
