Jesse Williams is breaking things off with wife Aryn Drake-Lee, and if the rumors are to be believed, it’s because he “wants to be the hot single guy in Hollywood.”
PageSix reported that Williams’ rise to fame since Grey’s Anatomy has changed the dynamic of their relationship. Before, Drake-Lee, who worked in both art and real estate, was the main breadwinner and supported Williams through his struggle to find a place in the entertainment industry. But after Williams became a rising star in Hollywood, that changed, quickly.
“She poured money into this relationship and sacrificed her life for him, and now he wants to go out and be the hot single Hollywood guy. Jesse wants to . . . do whatever he thinks will make him a bigger star. He’s drinking his own Kool-Aid and it’s ‘the Jesse show.’ He’s dead f - - king wrong. He did not respect those vows. He wants to be single,” an alleged source close to the couple told PageSix.
In particular, the source blamed the fact that Drake-Lee was hounded by press because she looked normal and not like a Hollywood starlet.
“When you hear people saying, ‘Why aren’t you with someone hotter or with this actress?’ I’m sure that placed a strain on their relationship,” the source said. “It’s bulls - - t . . . They’re going to paint a picture like he’s been separated for a very long time, but the truth is that he left her.”
