[Lainey Gossip] This is about two different men. Their stories are not connected. But I wonder if they might want to find each other.
Many of the first man’s secrets and shortcomings have been widely publicised. The juicy sh-t however remains undercover. He had an affair with a very good, very famous friend, also male. And they get all sporty together. There has been speculation about them for years. At first I found it hard to believe. But recently two very good sources have confirmed it.
The other man has a very beautiful girlfriend. And it’s been a while since he’s had a very young boyfriend. Getting wild with young, ripped men has been a compulsion for him. But since she came around, he’s been able to deny those desires and has committed to straight living. It helps that there’s a payment plan. Multiple independent sources have told me over the last week that the story going up and down her circle is that on the 15th of every month she receives a direct deposit amounting to almost a million dollars. So I suppose he sees it like an investment?
These two are actually perfect for each other. And they’re not that far removed. Surely someone can make it happen.

1st Man: Tom Brady – Lainey said in her podcast posted today that “juicy” is a big hint. Might be Tom because of his healthy green juice diet publicized recently? Cheating scandal would be the widely publicized shortcomings.
His Famous Sporty Friend: Ben Affleck – “very good” friend = Good Will Hunting. Sporty because he’s obsessed with Boston sports and Tom obviously plays for one.
2nd Man: Christiano Renaldo
His Girlfriend:: Maja Darving
Not far removed because they both…
keebler92 says
Mathew McConaughey (sp?)
Lance Armstrong
Bradley Cooper
Irina Shank (or whatever her name is)
misstibbs says
Cruise.
Beckham.
Bradley Cooper
Most recent model / contracted beard
Molly Moll says
First man Ben Affleck
Sporty friend Tom Brady (remember the nanny photo with Bradys rings? Lainey is obsessed with it)
Second man is definitely Cristiano Ronaldo, not many that can pay a million a month!
His girl Maja Darving, danish 19-year old model
mcgroovy1 says
I have no idea. A million dollars a month!? How do you get that job?
ctkat1 says
The First Guy has had his “secrets & shortcoming” widely disseminated in the press, but the “juicy” gossip is his affair with a famous male friend he does “sporty” stuff with, and there have been rumors about them for years.
So, famous men who have their dirt out in the open: Ben Affleck (nanny affair, alcoholism), Gavin Rossdale (nanny affair, frequent cheating tumors), David Beckham (cheating tumors), Zac Efron (drug issues- remember that fight with a homeless man under a bridge?),…
oldstephens says
OK I can go along with Cruise and Beckham–also find it hard to believe, but it seems that is the gut reaction of most.
While second guy could be Cooper, I am finding it hard to believe if Cooper is into younger hard bodies, why would he want Old Man Cruise?
Also, Cristiano Rinaldo would seem like a better fit and wasn’t there some recent talk about him moving to LA? (of course his boyfriend wasn’t a young hard body and he doesn’t have a long term girl…)
I am stuck.
oldstephens says
Oh and not sure $1 mill a month is the paycheck–Cooper ain’t that rich.
ithinkthis says
The first man is Gavin Rossdale with Roger Federer being his famous friend. Lainey mentions ‘Juicy’ which is how Gwen described the scandal in a recent interview. Also there has been plenty of speculation about these two men. The second man has to be extremely wealth and the words ‘another investment’ makes me think he makes a lot of these. Maybe James Packer (Mariah’s fiance). I don’t think BCooper is wealthy or ‘investment’ savvy enough to be No. 2.
WhoDatGirl says
First Guy: Enricky Iglesias (misspelled for how I pronounce it lol)
Sporty Guy: Cristiano Ronaldo
Second Man: Bradley Cooper
Paid Girlfriend: Irina Shayk
BaZinGa says
1st one
Shortcomings = Tom Cruise
Famous Friend = David Miscavige
2nd ???
Catmo says
Christiano Ronaldo
Fellow footballer – no idea who (get sporty together)
Bradley Cooper
Irina Shayk – the ex-beard for Ronaldo, hence the link to Bradley Cooper
DrunkyMcPuncherson says
Oh my god I think I figured it out. And it’s great!
First Man: Zac Efron
His Famous Sporty Friend: Leo DiCaprio
Second Man: Bradley Cooper
His Girlfriend: Irina Shayk
Leo and Zac are friends, and if you do a Google image search of them, every single photo was taken at a different sporting event (‘sporty’). Zac is the ‘young, ripped’ guy referred to in Cooper’s part.
Oh I hope they get together and come out as a couple! Can you imagine?! #swoon
jasper says
First pair may be Becks, but I think James Corden over Tommy.
Becks and James are long time friends who are into footy (“soccer”) . James is known to have had a gay dating profile years ago, and gay rumors follow Becks around, as well. plus, they’ve done several bathtub skits together, and a parody commercial for underwear. Even publicly intimate hetero-lifemates Pegg and Frost don’t ping my gaydar like Corden and Beckham.
Second half, I’ll go with Bradley and Irina, too.
sfgirl42 says
First Guy: Cristiano Rinaldo (Clue = “shortcomings” as in “down there”; sporty)
Boyfriend: Badr Hari (His Kickboxer “best friend”)
Second Guy: Bradley Cooper (but does he really have that much money?)
Paid Gal: Irina Shayk
DrunkyMcPuncherson says
I just googled it and Bradley Cooper’s net worth is 90 million, and he raked in 45 million last year alone, so maybe? Especially if the ‘relationship’ is only contracted to last less than a year. Maybe he’s just that terrified of being exposed. But it does sound like it could be a super wealthy investor type with money to burn.
jajarose says
I can’t think of the first man but I have a feeling the second one could be Simon Cowell as he is known to go lbs his girlfriends money, usually one off settlements but it could be different for the mother of his child.
gc02ef says
I think this is Gavin Rossdale and Roger Federer
The ‘juicy’ clue is from Gwen’s recent interview where she said the whole story was juicy like bad bad.
Second is Bradley Cooper and Irina
huhwhoami says
i am going with Zac Ephron and : no guess
The one liking young ripped is Rupert Murdock lots of bucks to pay the model Jerry Hall
Similiar clue had rolling in the name. ftw
cargogo says
First Man: Gerard Butler
Second Man: Bradley Cooper
Paid Girlfriend: Irina Shayk
LAJuice says
The sporty Friend throws me, can this be Ben Affleck and Tom Brady? or is it McConeghy and ?
second guy: Tom Hardy or Henry Cavill?
LAJuice says
I take it back- short comings is obv. Tom Cruise and sporty must be Becks.
tallzeez says
Second one is Bradley Cooper with Irina what’s-her-name.
bostonmark says
Cindy Crawford’s husband
George Clooney
Bradley Cooper
teaya says
Ok guessing the first couple! Tom Cruise and David Beckham?? “shortcomings” and all
I’m gonna say Ryan Seacrest and Hillary Cruz for the second couple. Seacrest is around the same height as Tom!
keenobserver says
i like this guess
4sixx2 says
Man 1: Ryan Seacrest. He must be running the interwebs. When I search Ryan & male friend/boyfriend/best friend/sporty friend, NOTHING comes up listing any male. Haha, he who protesteth too much… I don’t know the sporty friend. Hints are SEcrets=SEAcret & SHORTcomings= he’s very short.
Man 2; I’m guessing Bradley Cooper, reconnected with Irina Shayk. I was surprised he’s listed as worth 60 million. But that will go fast at an almost $1 Million/month payment. I think that may be inflated.
SaraSunshine says
Gavin Rossdale and Roger Federer for 1st man and his sporty friend. I’ve been saying this for years. ?
spunkie brewster says
Tom Cruise
David Beckham
Bradley Cooper
Irina Shayek (sp?)
Ennui There Yet says
The First Man is Jake Gyllenhaal.
I think the Sporty Friend must be Lance Armstrong. “Juicy” = his doping scandal.
There was a while when you couldn’t open the internet without seeing sweaty shirtless photos with Jakey, Lance and Matthew McConaughey.
I don’t have a clue on the Second Man
MamaJunesneckrolls says
Tom Cruise
David Beckham
Jeremy Renner??
MamaJunesneckrolls says
Change that to Cristian Ronaldo… for Guy #2
Not that far removed since Becks and he both played soccer and he is one of a few people who could afford $1Mill a month to some beard.
TheSalmon says
First guy is Tom Cruise, who had an affair with the very sporty, very famous David Beckham (hard for me to believe at first, too).
Second one is Bradley Cooper, known to like his boys quite young and quite buff, but trying to go straight with model Irina Shayk. It won’t work, no matter how many millions it costs him.
JuiceBoxHero says
Leo DiCaprio
Lucas Haas
Bradley Cooper
Irina Shayk
FlaminHotCheetos says
Ben Affleck
Tom Brady
Aaron Rodgers
Olivia Munn
Ericaomega says
First: Johnny Manzel
Sporty friend: King James
Second man: Aaron Rogers
Ericaomega says
Oh and gf is Olivia Munn
GingerNaps says
Clues: good (A Few Good Men? The Good Wife?)
Up and down? (It’s an odd turn of phrase)
Ben and Matt for the couple? Or Jake and Matthew McC?
mermaidh2 says
Ben Affleck/Tom Brady came to mind as the first part…but I think the second part is about Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk. And Ben Affleck is far from being young and ripped..lol. So I don’t honestly know.
fishfish123 says
Lance Armstrong
Jake Gyllenhaal
Aaron Rodgers
Olivia Munn
KatarinaJ says
Bradley Cooper and Tom Cruise?
plumplum says
Tom cruise and David Beckham ( I don’t buy it)
Bradley Cooper ( young boyfriend is Lucky Blue Smith) with Irina Sheik ( I don’t buy she is that expensive)
funtworead says
Aaron Rodgers (went UNDERCOVER to work at Chuze fitness in San Diego)
James Packer – last name Packer with team name of Aaron Rodgers
packerpoke says
George Clooney
Peps66 says
I’m probably WAY off but the names sprung up in my head instantly:
First man: Tom Cruise
His Famous Sporty Friend: David Beckham (the guy on the left in the pic reminded me of Beckham)
Second Man: Bradley Cooper
His Girlfriend: Irina Shayk
pmburk says
I like this
Captain30 says
Gavin Rossdale
Roger Federer
Bradley Cooper
Irena Shayk
Captain30 says
Gavin Rossdale has been ‘friends’ with Federer for years, Bradley was a guest of Roger Federer at Wimbledon last year.
NLizzyD says
Yup.
hrhfedup says
Hmm, so my first guess is Gavin Rossdale, but I don’t know who his sporty friend is.
The second guy I’m gonna guess Bradley Cooper and his g/f Irina.
olafmelted says
First Man: Tom Cruise
His Famous Sporty Friend: David Beckham
Second Man: Jamie Foxx
His Girlfriend: Katie Holmes
mrsjaymack says
beckham and cristiano rinaldo?
TheRevanchist says
Random attempt:
Andrew Garfield
Jamie Dornan
Second man: Jason Statham
Girlfriend: Rosie somethinghyphenatedWhitely
Really though I wish couple 1 was Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Sigh, you ever forget your first OTP.
knocktwice says
First Man: Lance Armstrong

sabrina325 says
Second man: Bradley Cooper, His girlfriend: Irina Shaykh?
tuckerlee123 says
David Beckham
Roger Federer
Bradley Cooper
Irina Shayk
Vidalia Q Intrigue says
First Men: Ben Affleck
His Famous Sporty Friend: Tom Brady
Second Man: I was going to guess Henry Cavill, but he hasn’t been with his current girlfriend for long, and the similar blind is pointing to Cristiano Ronaldo, so I’ll guess Ronaldo.
His girlfriend: Maja Darving
I’m guessing “not that far removed” is referring to the degrees of separation with Brady being married to Gisele Bundchen and Maja Darving also working as a model.
Halo26 says
First Man: Tom Cruise
His Famous Sporty Friend: David Beckham
Second Man: Henry Cavill
His Girlfriend (may or may not be famous): Tara King. Decent Way to pay off college.
Molly7111 says
I think you’re right on with Henry Cavill and his 19 yr old GF.
dmknyc says

romajo says

David beck ham
Bradley cooper
Irina shayk
ebrett says
First Man: Affleck
His Famous Sporty Friend: Brady
I find this difficult to believe.
Second Man: Bradley Cooper
His Girlfriend (may or may not be famous): Irina Shayk
Not that far removed: Cooper was on Alias with J Garner (+ whispers of Cooper/Victor Garber relationship- Garber married Jen and Ben)
LawChick2000 says
This. Just Google and the pictures come up.
lisako says
This is a really good guess!
keeley123 says
I like this guess too but Bradley Cooper and Ben Affleck were in He’s Just Not That Into You together – although the nature of the film may have made it such that they never saw each other.
Fortune Cookie says
1st Man – Lance Armstrong
2nd Man – Matthew McConaughey
Other Man – Jake Gyllenhaal
OM’s GF – Daktoa Johnson?
DrunkyMcPuncherson says
I’m stumped on the guesses (Tom Cruise for the first man, Bradley Cooper for the second?), but can’t wait to see what people come up with!
Juicy!
tkahles says
Tom Cruise (“shortcomings”)
David Beckham (“very good, very famous”)
Bradley Cooper
Irina Shayk
periquito says
Travolta and Bradley Cooper
melly123 says
David Beckham
Tom Cruise
Bradley Cooper
Irina Shayk
classybgyrl says
This!…the picture reminds me of that famous stroll Cruise an Hoffman did in Rain Man
melly123 says
Sorry……the 1st 2 should be reversed
First Man: Tom Cruise
His Sporty Friend: David Beckham
sneezy says
Yeah – you’ve got it right on.
Beckham is a sex addict – so no surprise about Tommy-boy going after, and getting, him.
I’m surprised by that $1million Cooper – Shayk figure as well, that’s awfully high, unless the studio is okay paying it to make sure he looks straight.
Deusex says
I’m agreed. The first two are Cruise and Beckham but I don’t think Cooper is in the $1m a month space for running a blind, especially considering no one is really buying it. He knows it’s a game, we know it’s a game…
What if the third was Cristiano Ronaldo – with the tie up being Ronaldo and Beckham.
I can’t imagine Cooper having any interest in Cruise – they all like to play younger. Or apparently darker if you’re talking Clooney.
stolidog says
I like Tom Cruise and David Beckham, but I think its Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-whitely for the second pair
Deusex says
Beckham + Statham = I’d pay to see that
