Edie Brickell is an American singer-songwriter best known for Edie Brickell & New Bohemians’ debut album, Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars, which peaked at number four on the Billboard albums list in 1988. 

She is married to musician and songwriter Paul Simon. The couple tied the knot on May 30, 1992 — making it her first marriage and Simon’s third.

The duo are together to date and as of 2024, they have been married for 32 years. They have three children together, Adrian, Lulu, and Gabriel.

Though there have been various ups and downs in their relationship, including a domestic dispute that involved violence by both parties. Regardless, the duo have made it though, and are still married to date.

However, recently, Brickell revealed that she was warned about Simon and was told not to date him. Here is all we know about it.

Edie Brickell was warned not to date Paul Simon

Recently, the first part of the documentary about Simon’s life was released, titled, In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon. It was released on March 17, 2024, where various parts of Simon’s life were discussed.

His wife, Brickell also talked about their relationship and revealed that she was warned not to date him, saying he was arrogant. “When I first started dating him somebody warned me, ‘Don’t date him, he’s arrogant,’” Brickell reminisced. “And I said, ‘How do you know? You don’t know him. It’s from the media.’”

There were various misconceptions about Simon because of his split from his band, Simon & Garfunkel, with his childhood friend, Art Garfunkel. Brickell defended her husband and said, “In terms of Art Garfunkel, they made it seem like Paul victimized him.”

“As opposed to the truth being that the guy walked away to pursue a different kind of career. Everybody looked at it as, ‘Oh, Paul went off to do Paul,’ but that’s not what happened,” she pointed out.

Despite the public opinion of Simon, with many calling him arrogant, Brickell decided to look past all of it. So, even though she was warned not to date him, she dated him, and now, the pair have been married for over three decades.

Who is Paul Simon?

Simon is an American singer-songwriter best known for his solo work and collaborations with Garfunkel. He and his schoolmate Garfunkel, whom he met in 1953, rose to notoriety in the 1960s as Simon & Garfunkel.

Their folk-rock combination, which included classics like ‘The Sound of Silence,’ ‘Mrs. Robinson,’ ‘America,’ and ‘The Boxer,’ served as a soundtrack to the counterculture movement. Their final album, Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970), is among the best-selling of all time.

Simon’s solo work has included gospel, reggae, and soul. His albums Paul Simon (1972), There Goes Rhymin’ Simon (1973), and Still Crazy After All These Years (1975) retained him in the public spotlight and received critical praise, creating singles such as ‘Mother and Child Reunion,’ ‘Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard,’ and ‘50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.’ 

Simon & Garfunkel reunited for multiple tours, including the 1981 Concert in Central Park. Simon’s most popular and praised album, Graceland, was released in 1986, and it had South African elements. 

‘You Can Call Me Al’ became one of Simon’s most popular tracks. Graceland was followed by The Rhythm of the Saints (1990) and a second Concert in the Park in 1991, without Garfunkel, which drew half a million people.

Simon penned the Broadway musical The Capeman in 1988, which garnered terrible reviews. He recorded and toured far into the twenty-first century. 

His subsequent albums, including You’re the One (2000), So Beautiful or So What (2011), and Stranger to Stranger (2016), exposed him to new audiences. Simon stopped performing in 2018; however, he continued to record songs.

The album Seven Psalms was released in May 2023.

Simon is one of the world’s best-selling music artists. He has twice been elected into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and has won sixteen Grammy Awards, including three for Album of the Year. 

Two of his albums, Sounds of Silence and Graceland, were entered into the National Recording Registry for their cultural value, and in 2007, the Library of Congress named him the first winner of the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. He is also one of the co-founders of the Children’s Health Fund, a non-profit organization that offers medical services to children.

Michele Morrone’s Dating History — His Girlfriend, Ex Wife, and Gay Rumors

Michele Morrone is a talented Italian actor and singer who gained international recognition after portraying the lead role of Massimo Torricelli in the 2020 erotic thriller 365 Days and its two sequels, 365 Days: This Day and The Next 365 Days — both released in 2022.

Since the film that provided him with fame was all about romance, netizens were quick to wonder if anything was going on in his real-life personal life. The Netflix films also led to questions about his sexuality and gay rumors.

In the third installment of the film series, The Next 365 Days, viewers witnessed Morrone’s Massimo share an intimate scene with actor Simone Susinna’s character, Marcello ‘Nacho’ Matos, in which the two characters kiss after sharing the bed.

As a result of this scene, including some misleading Instagram posts from the two co-stars, people began to search “Is Michele Morrone gay?” on Google. So, is Michele Morrone gay? The answer is a direct no, as there is no truth to any of the gay rumors.

Morrone himself debunked the gay rumors via his Instagram handle. On his Instagram story, he wrote, “This morning, I woke up with my team calling me and saying, ‘Hey, there’s a lot of articles…saying that you came out,’ because of the picture I took with Simone.”

“He became a very good friend of mine, we’re like brothers. We’re shooting a movie together. Guys, it was just a picture. Nothing more. And by the way, I’m a very big supporter of the LGBT community. But we’re just talking about a normal picture. I didn’t come out.”

“As I said, I’m a big supporter of the LGBT community. There’s a lot of young guys and young girls…they would love to come out but they don’t do it because of their families. You know, happiness is priceless, guys. Peace and love, I love you so much,” he concluded.

Now that that’s sorted out, is Michele Morrone married? As of this writing, the actor isn’t married to a wife. Similarly, he doesn’t seem to be dating anyone at the moment, as there are no official reports that claim such.

However, he was recently linked to British TV show host Maya Jama after the two worked together in a Dolce & Gabbana perfume campaign. In the campaign, they played a couple walking the streets of Rome before they lost each other.

The ad was launched in January 2025, and people have been shipping the duo ever since. But as of now, it doesn’t seem like Morrone and Jama are dating. So, it looks like the Italian singer doesn’t have a girlfriend in 2025, and his present relationship status is single.

Michele Morrone shares two kids with his ex wife

While Michele might be single at the moment, he was once in a marital relationship with his now-former wife, Rouba Saadeh, a Lebanese stylist. From his marriage to her, he is a father to two children, sons named Marcus Morrone and Brado Morrone.

As for their relationship, it has been reported that they initially met through mutual friends and were in a romantic relationship for around seven years. In 2014, the then-longtime couple finally shared the wedding vows and became husband and wife.

In the same year that they got married, in September 2014, Michele and Rouba welcomed their first bundle of joy, a son named Marcus. The couple welcomed their second son, Brado, three years later, in September 2017.

Everything seemed fine with the couple’s marriage on the outside, especially after the birth of their second child; however, it wasn’t that way on the inside. Cracks had begun to build their way up, and in 2018, they called it quits and divorced.

It’s reported that Michele and his ex wife divorced due to disputes and other personal issues, but the exact reason isn’t revealed. Two years later, in 2020, the actor opened up a bit about how he was in a deep depression following his split with Rouba.

On February 8, 2020, in a candid Instagram post, he wrote, “A year and a half ago, I was about to leave everything. I didn’t want to act anymore. I was in a severe state of depression after divorcing my wife.”

“I found work as a gardener in a remote village of 1000 inhabitants because I had no more money in my pocket. But life is strange, when you’re down, destiny puts the right train in front of you, and if you’re strong, you can take it. Always believe in yourself… ALWAYS.”

Besides this, there isn’t much information available about Michele and Rouba’s relationship, as well as their divorce. As for their children, Michele still maintains a good relationship with them and can be seen posting pictures alongside them on several occasions.

The actor has also taken his sons on vacations to different places. On one such instance, while vacationing in Ischia, Italy, he shared some cute pictures with his kids. In the caption, he mentioned that his children are the best film of his life.

Michele Morrone’s dating history explored

As mentioned earlier, Michele was married to his ex wife from 2014 to 2018, and they dated for around seven years before marrying. As for his love life before his relationship with Rouba, there are no details available.

Following his divorce from Rouba, Michele stayed single for some time, and while he was linked to several people, including Anna Maria Sieklucka, nothing was ever confirmed. In September 2022, people heavily speculated that the actor was dating Khloé Kardashian.

The rumors heated up after they were spotted together at a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Milan. With Michele posting a picture with Khloé on his Instagram story, the talks only went further.

Later, in a July 2023 episode of The Kardashians, netizens learned that Khloé’s sister, Kim Kardashian, wanted to set up Michele with her sister at the Dolce & Gabbana event, where Kim served as the Creative Director.

Speaking of Michele and his Netflix film, Kim told some of her friends, “He’s so hot. He’s in the show. It’s like soft porn, practically, but it’s a show on Netflix. So, let’s fully set this up so that Khloe falls in love in Milan. But she has no idea.”

When Khloé eventually found out, she was also on board. In a confessional, she said, “I didn’t know I lost my mojo, but I guess Kim definitely thinks I did, so we need to find that motherf— somewhere. I think he’s super hot. He’s like a man. I love a good man.”

However, a romance was never confirmed, with Michele’s rep telling E! News, “There’s no relationship to speak of at all. The two were asked to take a photo together at the D&G show. They obliged.”

Michele and Khloé didn’t date can also be proven by the fact that the former started dating model Moara Sorio in November 2022. The duo initially kept their relationship under wraps, but they were ultimately photographed together, including once with Morrone’s ex-wife.

After the news got out, they began flaunting each other on their respective social media handles, sharing mirror selfies and cute pictures. In November 2023, he even wrote a song about her and posted it on his TikTok handle.

However, it seems their togetherness wasn’t meant to last forever as they eventually broke up in mid-2024, with the reason still unknown. After this, he was rumored to be dating his Subservience co-star Megan Fox, following the latter’s split with Machine Gun Kelly.

However, Megan was quick to shut down the speculations as one of her reps told TMZ, “Any accusations beyond a work friendship are simply untrue. They filmed a movie together a year ago. Michele is currently in Italy filming another project.”

In January 2025, Michele was reportedly seen kissing sports journalist Marialuisa Jacobelli in Milan, Italy. Around the same time, he was also linked to Maya Jama. Nonetheless, none of these romance speculations has either been confirmed or denied.

Was it just rumors or something more?

Exploring Sydney Chandler’s Boyfriend and Dating Rumors With Louis Partridge

Sydney Chandler first came into the limelight as the daughter of the renowned American actor Kyle Chandler and his film writer wife Kathryn Chandler. Sydney later went on to find fame through her own work in the entertainment industry.

She initially made her acting debut in 2016 but took a break for a couple of years. She returned to the screens with a role in the 2019 TV series SKAM Austin, after which she appeared in a few short films.

In 2022, she landed her first major role in the FX TV mini-series Pistol, in which she portrayed the role of Chrissie Hynde. One of the stars who worked alongside her in the show was Louis Partridge, who played Sid Vicious.

Sydney Chandler and Louis Partridge’s dating rumors

Rumors about Sydney and Louis’s potential romance started some time after they began working together on the sets of Pistol. By April 2022, netizens had already been talking about their possible relationship.

There was widespread speculation about their romance, as well as controversy, particularly regarding their age difference. At that time, the actress was around 25 years of age, whereas her rumored boyfriend was 17.

In May 2022, Louis seemingly confirmed that he might be dating Sydney during his exclusive interview with The Face. The magazine mentioned that he had a girlfriend, after which Louis stressed that she was an ​“ex-friend turned girlfriend [who’s] in the business.”

After it was revealed that his girlfriend was someone who was also in the same industry, it was all but confirmed that she was none other than Sydney. What ignited more heat was when Louis attended the premiere of Sydney’s new movie.

In September 2022, Louis flew all the way to Italy to be alongside his girlfriend at the premiere of her film Don’t Worry Darling at the Venice Film Festival. At the time, the drama between the director, Olivia Wilde, and the two lead stars of the movie, Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, helped to keep the focus off them.

“Everyone was so focused on all the drama with Florence, Olivia and Harry that I don’t think anyone noticed who Sydney’s date was. They’ve been quietly going out for about a year now but have managed to keep it under the radar,” a source told The Sun.

“They seem very close to going public with their relationship, and Louis clearly played the role of the supportive boyfriend very well,” the source added. Likewise, they stated that they spent time in Los Angeles and London after finishing filming Pistols.

Later in December 2022, Sydney and her boyfriend accompanied each other to the British Fashion Awards. The couple’s togetherness continued for a few more months until they reportedly broke up sometime in 2023.

Sydney’s reported breakup with Louis was confirmed after the latter was rumored to be in a new relationship with American singer Olivia Rodrigo. Louis and Olivia’s relationship was eventually confirmed in the following months.

Coming back to Sydney and Louis’s relationship, neither of them publicly announced that they were explicitly dating each other. However, there were many hints that they were in a romantic relationship.

And the situation was the same when their relationship came to an end — neither of them nor their respective representatives confirmed or denied that Sydney and Louis split.

Who is Sydney Chandler’s boyfriend now?

As of this writing, Sydney doesn’t seem to be dating a boyfriend, and her present relationship status is single. Since her split with Louis, the actress hasn’t been seen with anyone publicly that might raise some eyebrows.

Even before her relationship with Louis, she used to keep her personal life tightly knit and rarely shared any details. So, without further information, there is nothing to explore about her former boyfriends and dating history.

Exploring Alden Ehrenreich’s Gay Rumors, Wife, and Dating Life

Alden Ehrenreich has been active in the entertainment industry since 2005; however, he has gained significantly more attention in recent years for his performances in several movies and TV shows.

For instance, he starred in the leading role as John the Savage in the 2020 Peacock series Brave New World. A couple of years later, he was cast alongside a huge ensemble cast in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr.

More recently, he has been garnering praise for his performance as Paul in the 2025 American mystery horror film Weapons. The rated-R movie, directed by Zach Cregger, was released on August 8, 2025, and stars Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Scarlett Sher, and others.

Alden Ehrenreich’s Love Life — Is Alden Ehrenreich gay?

Ehrenreich is a very private man when it comes to his dating life. To this date, the American actor hasn’t shed any light on his relationships or his love life. He remains keen on keeping things a secret and doesn’t share any information on his interviews or social media handles.

Besides, he wasn’t even using any social media handles before 2023. He joined Instagram in January 2023 after realizing its potential as a tool to share his projects with a broader audience. Moreover, he also hasn’t been seen publicly with a woman in recent time.

All these secrecy surrounding his dating life leaves only one possible conclusion and it is that Ehrenreich isn’t dating a girlfriend at the moment. Furthermore, he also isn’t married and doesn’t have a wife.

Due to this, there had been a clear room left for speculations. One of those speculations is whether Ehrenreich is gay or straight. However, much like this personal life, there are no details whatsoever about his sexuality or anything that indicates that he might be gay.

So, without any proof that reveals otherwise, it cannot be said that Ehrenreich is gay and that there is no truth to these gay rumors. Thus, his sexuality is straight.

Alden Ehrenreich’s Dating History

Much like Ehrenreich’s present relationship status, there is little to no information about his dating history as well. However, one of his interviews from 2013 gives a small insight that he has had a few romantic relationships along the way.

During the press tour of his 2013 film Beautiful Creatures, he touched on the topic of destined romances and compared romance to a vocation, where a person has an inner intuition or “yes” that guides them.

“I don’t know if it’s destined or not, but certainly I couldn’t imagine being the person I am today without the romantic experiences I’ve had,” he added, revealing his former relationships changed his life as well.

As the interview continued, the actor stressed how male characters are often portrayed as “bad boys” who are cold and indifferent. He stated the importance of ending this stereotype by displaying positive qualities like kindness, courtesy, and an interest in reading.

Ehrenreich assumed that showing these character traits could be a possible option for young girls to witness on screen, expanding their perception of what a male partner can be like.

That said, the 35-year-old Los Angeles native actor has been previously linked to a few of his co-stars. In 2013, he was rumored to be dating fellow actress Kelsey McNamee after they made their red carpet debut during the premiere of Beautiful Creatures in Hollywood.

However, the rumors were neither confirmed nor denied by any of them. Besides this, Ehrenreich was linked to his Fair Play co-star Phoebe Dynevor. Their amazing chemistry in the Netflix steamy thriller led many to believe they might be dating in real-life as well.

Nonetheless, these were just mere fan speculations and there was no truth behind them.
