Lily Allen splits with multimillionaire lover - so much for the engagement ring!
It looks like Lily Allen has been messing with us in order to drum up some extra publicity for her up-coming second album release (in shops next month, folks!).
The 23-year-old, who was last week conspicuously flashing a ring on her engagement finger, has reportedly split with her lover.
The singer, who had been seeing the stupidly rich art dealer Jay Jopling (said to be worth £100m! ) for just a month, has split with the 45 year old due to the age difference between them.
He was only one year off being twice her age after all!
A source said: "It was her decision to split as she’ll be away a lot this year and wouldn’t have got to see Jay much.
"She also felt the age gap was a bit too big. She felt that both his and her friends disapproved."
Although Lily's dad Keith, who is friends with Jopling, apparently didn't disapprove.
The source added: "She’ll definitely miss sharing his lifestyle. She loved staying at his huge London pad and talking about art.
"Their break-up wasn’t acrimonious and they’re still on really good terms."
So what was the engagement ring all about? We think you can put that in the pile marked 'second album promotion tactics' along with the supposedly ill-thought-out drug comments.
