Whitney Port & Jay Lyon Are Dunzo!
Altho the season finale of MTV’s The City doesn’t air until later on tonight, In Touch Weekly magazine is providing a bit of a spoiler for the show that might not even air on tonight’s episode. Because reality and “reality TV” have a funny way of intersecting, this news might prove spoilerish for upcoming eps of the show but because life waits for no TV show, I suppose it’s worth reporting now … Whitney Port and her NYC paramour Jay Lyon are dunzo!
“The City’s” Whitney Port and her reality show boyfriend, Jay Lyon, have called it quits, a friend of Whitney’s reveals to In Touch. “They broke up on Monday,” said the friend. “Whitney did it over the phone, she was basically just not happy for a while and decided she really wanted to end it. Jay said they should talk things over, but it seems her mind is made up.” The couple agreed to take a break while Jay toured with his band Tamarama, as shown in this week’s episode, but later reconciled. “The episode that aired on Monday was filmed over a month ago. They got back together after that, but now Whitney has dumped him for good,” says the friend. The couple met and began dating last summer when Whitney began filming MTV’s “The City” and moved to Manhattan. They had been dating ever since. “There was no cheating or anything like that, she’s just finally fed up,” the friend says. “She asked her close friends for advice and thinks it’s best her and Jay both go their separate ways. He’s not going to change and she’s just sick of it.”
To be honest, I have a very hard time believing any showmance that is heavily featured on reality TV is actually real (consider Lauren LC Conrad was “dating” Doug Reinhardt on The Hills but was really dating actor Kyle Howard off screen) so this news of Whitney and Jay’s dunzoness doesn’t really smack of any sort of, well, reality. We know that The City was picked up for a second season and perhaps producers thought it would behoove the series to have Whitney a single lady in the city so that they can exploit Sex and the City-like scenarios in upcoming new eps of the show. To be honest, I was never a Jay fan and I’m glad to see him go. Real or not, I’m looking forward to seeing Whitney unattached and let loose on the town. Methinks her singlehood will make for much more entertaining TV to come.

Good riddance! I never liked Jay either, in fact I don’t like the whole show at all! Everyone is so whiny…Can’t wait for the Hills to return! That drama was fun!

Yeah when Whitney was on the aftershow a couple weeks ago she showed the clip of them breaking up for him to go on tour. Not quite sure why she would put that out there that early but he had to go anyways with his cheating ways!

@Rach — I think the couple gets back together on the show after that “tour break-up” but have just broken up for good for “real”

I thought at the end of last weeks episode they broke up. So maybe they did get back together for a short time and that is what we will see tonight. Either way good riddance Whitney was too good for him he seemed okay at first and then proved to be a pretty shady character.

There were pictures of her and Jay going out on her bday, but maybe she dumped him after her bday.

@Jennifer I tend to agree with you he seemed ok at first and at least she had someone when she was new in The City!! She is too good for him.

March 16th, 2009 at 5:35 pm

I’m glad he’s out of the picture…..but can they PLEASE kill off that K@NT Olivia…It would be great not to see that bitch roll her eyes every episode and the bonus would be we would never heve to see her slease ball cousin again! YAY!

@vajayjay — while Olivia’s cousin Nevin is a total douche, I do love Olivia so. Her eyerolling, her perceived bitchiness … she’s a great villain to love to hate :)

You are way to paranoid about reality tv since finding out somee things are fake, that doesn’t mean everythings fake. Whitney is not the kinda person to fake date/kiss someone and then break up just cause shes told to.

jay use to date miranda kerr before she made it big and i think his a fame whore he probably went on the show just to get his bands name out there and to friday foster not all aussie guys are like that douche bag
