Amy Winehouse cheats on husband
Smitten Amy Winehouse enjoys a tender moment — in the arms of her new lover. The 24-year-old pop diva gazed adoringly at hunky Alex Haynes while her junkie husband languished behind bars.
Amy, who has today been cautioned for common assault, now plans to divorce waster Blake Fielder-Civil.
Her friends and management are said to be “over the moon” that she has fallen for 24-year-old Alex, who is her manager’s assistant and is described as a “clean-cut mummy’s boy” from Gloucestershire.
A source said: “It is a relief that it’s finally out and they have everyone’s 100 per cent backing. Alex is a good boy. He doesn’t smoke or take drugs. He isn’t a big drinker. Amy has really fallen for him.”
The Rehab singer had tried to keep the couple’s month-long romance under wraps for fear of how Blake, 25, would take the news in London’s Pentonville prison, where he is remand on trial-fixing charges.
A pal of the star said last night: “Amy doesn’t want the truth coming out because she doesn’t want him reading things that will upset him in case he tries to do anything silly in jail. She does care about him still and has been trying to be seen to support him through his jail ordeal — but she just doesn’t want to be with him any more.”
Amy told Blake their 11-month marriage was over during a tearful meeting at the prison on Monday.
She first called in financial advisers two weeks ago to discuss how to protect her £10million fortune. The singer is said to have made her decision after a series of late-night heart-to-hearts with Alex.
A source said: “Amy hangs on his every word. He is tough and Blake is scared of him. That has made her feel ready to end it.”
Amy, who has cast off her wedding ring, has been holed up inside her Camden flat with Alex — her manager Raye Cosbert’s right-hand man — since she dumped Blake.
While she has been advised not to talk about her split with Blake, friends say Amy has tried to send out public signals.
She has not visited Blake in weeks — apart from to end the relationship — most notably missing his birthday. And yesterday she stayed in bed when he appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
