George Clooney has reportedly ended his relationship with girlfriend Sarah Larson. It really was too good to be true that the confirmed bachelor would have found true love after years of playing the field. People magazine’s source says that the couple’s nearly one year romance is history.
Larson dished on Clooney in the June 2008 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, which hit newsstands on May 20th. The model told how they met 4 years ago in Las Vegas and reported that things were very casual for a very long time. They did more text messaging than anything else. Their relationship didn’t actually get serious until June of 2007, when they ran into each other at the premiere of Ocean’s Thirteen.
Larson’s early claim to fame was her stint on Fear Factor where she had to eat a scorpion. The waitress turned model has been enjoying a loftier lifestyle in the past year. She reported that she’s been staying busy traveling across the globe with Clooney. She was especially thrilled to be on George’s arm when he attended the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, where she met the Dalai Lama and Mikhail Gorbachev.
The fairytale life that Sarah was becoming accustomed to has apparently ended. Perhaps the Harpers Bazaar interview was the straw that broke the camels back. The very private Clooney may have taken exception to Larson’s decision to dish about the relationship. There is some speculation that the situation was more like a ‘Pretty Woman’ existence and that the life experiences of the pair were at opposite ends of the spectrum.
If Clooney was looking for a Brangelina adulation from the press, it wasn’t forthcoming. While the couple were widely photographed, the media treated her as eye candy and nothing more. There are also those who speculate that Clooney is the Rock Hudson of modern times. Perhaps Clooney is just too much in love with himself to relate to a woman as a life partner. Just a thought.
