OlderAdam Lambert Splits with Boyfriend Drake LaBry
Adam Lambert and his boyfriend, interior designer Drake LaBry, are calling it quits, a source close to the couple exclusively tells JustJared.com.
“The relationship just ran its course,” says the source. “The break-up was mutual and amicable. They remain friends and still care for each other.”
Adam, who is dressing up tonight as a glammed-out vampire, is celebrating Halloween with singer pal Katy Perry, who is dressing up as the ass of a camel (it’s a two-part costume with actress pal Shannon Woodward).

“The relationship just run its course,” says the source. “The break-up was mutual and amicable. They remain friends and still care for each other.”
That should be written/said, “The relationship just RAN its course.”
Mmhmm.
This honestly makes me sad. I want Adam to be happy so whatever makes him happy but…I hate breakups. D:
that’s cool w/ me. was not feeling drake’s facial hair haha!
Too bad. But honestly. I like the idea of Lambert single. And he has seemed in good spirits lately if you judge by his tweets. Er. Twats.
..Now all we have to do is get rid of Katy.
OMG!
Happy Halloween to me!!! Yeahhh!!
I saw this coming but I didn’t think it was going to be so soon.
Want to see adam with hot new guys,drake is too Girly for my taste,sorry adam.
ICU Kris!
Oh.
I hate break ups too, but…not knowing the dynamics. Things change a lot when one of the two gains notoriety. I agree # 10. Let’s see Adam w/ new hotties. Drake? Euh. Should be interesting!
Drake was just starting to grow on me. Oh well, I hope Adam’s happy and he seems to remain pretty good friends with his exes. I flove the new singe, “For Your Entertainment”. I can’t wait to see Adam perform this song at American Music Awards.
did adam split with drake just to sell more records, what adam wont
do to sell records, ???? i guess now he’ll say hes dating Katy Perry
just to sell more records,
Very sorry to hear that things didn’t work out for Drake and Adam as a couple but hopefully they will stay friends. The strain of a long tour, Adam working flat ot to release his album and being constantly thrust in the limelight must have taken its toll. Adam has millions of us to love him in his professional life, but I also want him to find love and happiness in his personal one. Good luck Adam in finding him!
LMAO @ “kris and katy” comments. Too funny.
All I hope for adam is happiness and success.
@missy: wow… you really are ridiculous. Adam and Drake haven’t been dating that long, only since the end of Idol. Adam’s been very busy and it’s pretty obvious when they are out in public that Drake isn’t fond of all the attention.
I doubt Adam will claim to be dating a girl… he’s gay in case you missed the memo.
YES, that big nosed twinkie is way beneath Adam. Adam deserves someone equally has hot as he is.
@missy: Missy that is truly pathetic. Adam deserves to find someone and be happy and you obviously don’t follow him at all if you think he is that type of person. It was becoming obvious that Adam’s fame was hard for Drake to handle and I am sure the lack of privacy didn’t help either. I wish them both well and hope Adam eventually finds the love he has been looking for.
@Kaylie:
like me? =)
when you’re in a relationship strictly for sex it does “run its course” really quick. there needs to be a deep friendship and compatibility along with the sex to have a lasting relationship.
@Missy, are you always this ugly, maybe though it’s happened to you ,so sorry if that was the case, Adam is not that shallow, maybe you should listen to the interview with Micheal Sarver who definitely did not agree with any Adam at the beginning of AI but during the tour Micheal said he learned the most from Adam and not about music but about being a good human being, with openess and compassion. Love the man, love his music, love his beautiful soul, you Rock Adam babe, so proud of you, I know you wil attain greatness!
Actually Drake was around during most–if not all–of AI. Celebrity makes stable relationships difficult. They probably didn’t get to see one another that much. Just hope Adam finds happiness with another close relationship.
Drake seems like a wonderful, creative and caring person, who has stuck by his boyfriend Adam for a long time, before Adam auditioned for Idol and reached this level of fame..
We wish Drake the very best in his future, and hope they can find a way to transform their relationship to a healthy friendship..
I could never ever see them together – the boy had no class. Honestly – didn’t he seem rather sleezy to anyone besides me. Of course I want Adam to be crazy happy – but not with a Klingon.
Adam needs to focus on his career and let the right person come into his life that he can trust and who will support his crazy life style. That will happen for him … I just know it.
I’m just saying he really gave me the weird vibes. The other day Adam was with a songwriter guy and they looked adorable together- very happy and comfortable together. I sensed Adam was kind of edgey around Drake… Oh well I am obsessed with Adam and I truly want him to be happy… just saying… his new relationship is his career and he needs to let it grow.
I don’t know if this is true and frankly it’s none of our business. But I have to admit that Adam and Drake just wasn’t right IMO. Drake might be a nice guy, but for some weird reason I just wasn’t feeling him and Adam as a couple. If they have gone their separate ways, I wish them both happiness in their own right. If they are still together and this article is just a sham, well then I’m sorry about my negativity towards their relationship and I wish them hapiness regardless of my personal opinion.
Drake was only using Adam. Let’s face it Adam is not very good looking and kinda over weight. It’s all make-up and hair dye.
@Kaylie: @Kaylie: Looks are everything, right? I think your description of Drake is quite homophobic and not at all giving any credit to Adam’s choice in a partner.
I still think this is a rumor. Until I here it from Adam or Drake, it’s not a done deal.
Also, what’s with the snarkiness about Drake? I’m sure he is a sweet guy and I think he’s cute.
Adam’s not a shallow person and would not be with someone because of their looks.
We don’t know…they both may be hurting right now.
Please give them a break and let their relationship be their personal business.
@adamfan12345: Well said.
yeah yeah…whatever! These bloggers are full of ****…they are all liars!
I actually think Drake is too hot for Adam. The only reason why people thinks Adam is so hot is because he’s famous but if he wasn’t famous I think any gay man would rather date Drake.
if this is true I am sure Adam will find another boy to date
I kind of can’t wait to see who Adam’s going to be dating though LOL

^LOL
@only truth:
only truth, your comment is disgusting. Adam is good looking and incredibly sexy and just because he is not stick-thin it doesn’t make him overweight.
That’s what’s wrong with society these days and people like you who perpetuate physical perfection as the end all and be all.
No matter what you look like, you seem pretty ugly inside.
^^^And then in another breath they’d complain another gay man looks too girly, thin etc. even though Adam’s is very masculine and sexy (he has no belly). No one can win and that’s why they should simply be the weight that healthiest for them/ makes them feel happy.
Nothing against Drake, but maybe Cassady Haley is still single.
Adam and Cassady would make the hottest couple ever! Check him out on youtube. (Whiskey in Churches, etc.) Looks, voice, songwriting ability, sweetness, intelligence, creativity (plays the guitar, designs clothes with Skingraft); he’s got it all. Adam, call Cassady!
^^^I just looked up this Cassidy. Yeah, he’s cute. Apparently he and Adam are already friend’s as he tweeted a congrats or something before.
@missy:
Kidding, right? This was relationship was on the rocks as soon as the tour ended. Anyone with eyes could see it. Started when each were in a different place. You are obviously an Adam hater.
@ Elin, Adam likes twinks, going by Drake, and Brad, the love of his life going by unreliable gossip.
@Missy, you seem like a really rotten person to be posting on an Adam thread just to put him down. You must be a fan of one of the other idols and are just jealous that Adam is getting all the attention, even more than the winner. Everyone who has ever worked with Adam have nothing but nice things to say about him, he has countless friends and fans who love him, as well as a loving and supportive family. He always comes across as down to earth in interviews and he has helped raise a lot of money for charity even before he has received any proceeds from his album. This was a guy living in a bug infested studio apartment in Hollywood, has worked extremely hard, and deserves all the success he is receiving now. Why on earth must you attack his character, which has only been shown to be impeccable? And he even supports the other idols even though they may not do the same for him. That’s true character – he is extremely loving, caring, and supportive of others without expecting anything in return.
May I suggest for consideration: Neil Patrick Harris. He was standing by himself on the red carpet near where Adam was at the This Is It premiere. Neil just broke up with his boyfriend of five years. So he is available. He is bright, rich and cute. Just right for Adam. Just saying…..
^^^That’s actually rather unfortunate =(
I’m not surprised. You could so totally tell that Adam was not into that “forced kiss” initiated by Drake at the 7-11. Not only that, he looks much happier in those photo’s with Cheeks!!!!!
Well, breakups are always inevitable. But frankly, i love to see Adam single and available!!! Yippee…
ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD BREAK UP
Adam goes now for Bill Kaulitz!!!
lol
@only truth: You follow Adam on every website and say things about his weight and looks – yet you stalk him. You are creepy!!
They never really had a relationship and it was months not years. ALOT has changed for Adam. He has love from women all over the world. He has felt a womens sexy curves in that shoot. Adam isd BI…always has been and said so awhile back.His new song is for a lady:)
@Jessi: Dream on darlin’ Adam has said quiet clearly he is gay. I sure wish him well and hope he finds the love he is looking for.
@Trisha:
Or, how about Ferras – just looked him up in Wiki. Verrrry interesting background. He writes music – successfully. Adam sings – like no one else. Same age. Not normally a shipper or matchmaker, but that looks pretty good to me.
@only truth:
Adam is “kinda overweight”? Geez, no wonder people have eating disorders. What a repulsive comment. Adam looks fantastic – his face is a work of art, and he looks fantastic in everything he wears. There’s nothing attractive about being an anorexic twig.
i dont really think so, cos if they really did breakup the tabloids would be loving this news but there arent so i dont think soo..
When Adam came out I was not surprised at all because there were so many instances during AI that I found his movements kind of effeminate and his make-up on Ring of Fire Night was more than too much for me. Still, I like him because of his out-of-this-world singing talent and hoped that his being “gay” will not be a hindrance for him to reaching what his talent truly deserves.
When the paparazzi started exposing his activities with Drake, I was more than worried as those exposures won’t do good for his budding career knowing how cruel those paparazzi can become — they don’t give a damn whether their stolen shots or illegal coverage would do good or harm. And it was Drake that provoked Adam to exchange a kiss with him inside the car and though I know they both have the right to do their thing for “love,” I was hoping that they do their thingies in total privacy. So I thought then that Drake would be a great hindrance and TG (a million times), if this item is not just a rumour but real.
The thing is I like Adam no matter what his sexuality is because it is his talent that I so adore. I wish him the best of luck in finding a new love because I know that somehow being in love gives more inspiration. However, I hope that the new love of his life will not be as showy and as feminine as his ex in public.
Well, enough on Adam’s private affair… I am so excited for the day when I’ll have a hardcopy of his CD in my hands and I can’t wait for the AMA night so I could watch his stellar performance once again.
Good luck and good wishes, Adam!!!
I am a straight man and though I hate to admit it, I am obviously smitten by Adam’s singing greatness and I could not agree more with what you have written. It’s enough for me to know that he is gay and I honestly don’t want to know more about what he does in his own private life. All I want for him is more success in his career so I could enjoy his music more.
@Myra:
Adam’s personal life is none of my business. I only wish him happiness at whatever he does.
@Maria: This is what many gay men do…they pick on other gay men who don’t measure up to looking like the perfect body builder. They are as hard on each other as straight men can be toward women, expecting them to all look like playboy bunnies! Too bad Adam couldn’t turn straight for one night only with a woman (Katy Perry?) and feel what it is like to be accepted for any little flaws he is embarrassed about (bad skin, double chin, a little pudge here and there, etc.) Women are so much more accepting of physical imperfections of the person loving them and paying attention to them! Ooh, then Adam could see how much pleasure he could give to someone when things properly “fit” together! I wonder if he has ever experienced that just once? hmmm.
Oh noes, that’s sad. At least it seemd like a “good” breakup and Adam seemed so happy on Twitter.
Oh noes, that’s sad. At least it seemd like a “good” breakup and Adam seemed so happy on Twitter.
His boyfriend was too hot for Adam anyway
@charlie:
Really? You are in the MINORITY but that’s ok. I think it doesn’t matter and its between Adam and Drake. But your shallow comment speaks volumes about your character.
awwww let us cry LOL
http://www.mayflower777.book.fr
@Aleks:
I, I sir!
I am a straight Asian guy and I really dig Adam Lambert. His voice and his music are terrific. More power, more rock.
@charlie: Let me guess you are a gay guy who thinks Adam’s too fat, too fem and wears too much makeup anyway? Why is it that mostly straight women can feel the masculine power emulating from Adam and over look the little physical things easier than most gay men can? You guys are too picky about “perfect” bodies and looks, just like straight men are toward straight women!
Maybe Drake didn’t like the cd cover either. ;)
I am sad for Adam.. I hope he finds his true soul mate…he is such a sweetie
That’s life,break up and move on.They are young,not a big deal.
Breakups are hard so I hope that they are both okay emotionally. I thought that this was coming when I saw Adam on a platonic date with Katy Perry at the MJ premiere instead of with Drake. Adam’s life has changed so much rcently, and Drake’s hasn’t. That makes it hard to keep a relationship going. Jon Bon Jovi is one of the few rockers with a long-time stable relationship (married many years and four kids) and no affairs too. I think that right now Adam is concentrating on his new career and that takes up lots of his time. I’m glad that he and Katie are buddies, but I wonder if she has a crush on him. They are both so cute. My granddaughter thinks that they look like brother and sister.
Drake was far too cute for Adam. The only reason any guy would date Adam is because Adam is now famous. Adam is soon going to be 30 years which is 50 in gay years, and about 110 in dog years. Drake was cheating behind Adam’s back anyhow with cute guys.
1) I don’t care about Lambert’s love life, only his music.
2) A “source close to the couple”? Yeah. Right. That sounds reliable.
I told all of you last month that this was coming, when the reports came out that they had a tiff at Teddy’s, but nobody believed me. I live in Hollywood, I hear things.
It’s true, you guys. Adam’s friend said so as well.
@Mr. New Olreans:
Adam is beautiful inside and out. There are a lot of jealous people here, wishing they were Adam. Can’t believe the hateful and hurtful things being said. So many ugly people no matter what you guys look like.
Bill Kaulitz and Adam, now there would be a fun couple…….”G” Sorry for the breakup, but Drake seemed very needy and does he actually work? Hope everyone ends up happy.
@Jades:
LaBry is a designer and he paints as well and obviously their vocations do not match well.
On Bill Kaulitz — too late. Adam is with Ferras now. They both attended the Hollywood Halloween Party with Katy and friends.
And if you don’t know Ferras, he is actually a good singer and songwriter and therefore, a perfect match!
Awwwww, RIP Lambry.
It’s very good that they remained friends and still care about each other. They’re families are still close.
@Jades: Eww Bill Kaulitz is gross.
No matter what the circumstances of the break up ,it has to hurt. It will be hard for Adam to find real love ,when he’s so busy with his career. Unfortunately real love is what he probably will need the most. Someone to come home to,someone he can trust in the insanity of hanger ons ,the press and all the crazies.
I wish Adam well and I hope he can balance his career with a kind ,loving and caring partner in the not so far off future.
I only want happiness for these people. I think Adam is in for some sky’s the limit fame, and it was just too hard for Drake. I feel sorry for them both.
@Mr. New Olreans:
Why does only ‘cute’ count with gay guys? This is definitely Drake’s loss. He ain’t never gonna find another Adam. Although I’ve always believed Drake to be one of those cute, flirtatious, come-hither types so he won’t lack for boyfriends. Sorry to hear, he’s been cheating. I assume you know this for sure?
On does he work? Yeah, as a waiter at The Villa, and then paints and supposedly does interior design – in other words, he doesn’t earn any money to speak of. Read recently he lives in an apartment without tv or internet. He is not in Adam’s league at all.
Adam can do much better and should not ‘settle’. Adam is going to be a huge star and needs a partner who is able to successfully navigate that world..
I just am hoping that Adam does not go back to that Brad “cheeks” Bell guy. That guy is really too over the top now chasing fame. Hopefully, Adam’s friends will advise him not to do that. However, sometimes people never get over their first love. Cheeks would really drag Adam down to his level. Drake was a thousand times better looking than Cheeks and I did not like Drake. Too bad Adam said he likes them “younger and smaller”. I picture Adam in twenty years being like Liberace was, picking up younger guys for one night stands. God, I really hope not.
@Mr. New Olreans:
I disagree with your blanket premise of selection, but yes Drake is a certain TYPE and Adam is not and it will be totally true that Drake will always get more guys casually based on his type.
Meanwhile, its hilariously true 30 is 50 in gay years lol….your talking to a bunch of women and teenage girls that never even met a gay man. some had to ask what androgyny meant lol
He just turned 27 btb.
@Go Ferras:
While it may be true, they’ve been friends for awhile and cowrote Aftermath together with Alisan that made it to the album
DUH Adam did have friends before this, you know.
A strong steady supportive nuturing relationship is a gift and I hope Adam will have it. This relationship was changed due to all the experiences, and issure, that have come before Adam this past year. These esperiences marked notice of beginning of end of relationship despite both people being nice guys. Good luck to both.
Katy is playing tonsil hockey with Russell Brand, the coast is clear.
I mispelled Cassidy Haley’s name a few posts back and the teacher in me just had to correct it. (I have a friend who spells it with an a).
Anyway, is Adam really with Ferras now? If not, Adam, call Cassidy!
Totally agree with you.Adam lambert IS too old for Drake.and physically don’t think he has anything hot or sexy in gay community.
@Mr. New Olreans:
Totally agree with you.Adam Is too old for Drake.and adam nothing sexy or hot physically compare to Drake.
^^How many times are you going to repeat yourself c*nt?? Obviously your one of LaBry’s ugly friends who is mad that most like Adam and concerned about his dating life after this or have very LITTLE familiarity with the gay community.
Thats to bad :( I love Adam,hope its not to hard on him! Drake seemed cool.Who knows though, mabey he will meet someone thats better for him then Drake.
I wonder if he has any groupoies
Bill Kaulitz is not gay!!!
Uh, lets take a look at this: people are living longer than ever before these days, well into their 80′s and even 90′s, and 27 is considered old??? Wow, I think I’ve heard it all now.
TROLLS coming out of the woodwork to sling mud at ADAM even though they neither know or care about the subject at hand. You don’t care about the article … only that here is another chance to SPEW more VENOM about a TALENTED and “HANDSOME” man of whom you are INSANELY jealous!!! GO AWAY!!!
New take on the breakup – career issues:
http://www.usmagazine.com/celebritynews/news/adam-lambert-2009111
hahahahahaha!!
if they really broke up then i wish them all the best both of them and i wish Adam bb to find his true love he deserve that … i know they both so mature and they will be friends without any drama .. we saw Adam with Cheecks still friends and respect each other so much :)
Being single is SEXY for a celebrity.
They broke up, it’s officially out there now. It has been over for about a week now.
There is a dancer on Dancing With The Stars, who is 27 and from Russia by the name of Dmitry Chaplin. He is paired with Mya on the show and I bet Adam would find him interesting.
@in_the_know:
So, what was the problem? Adam working too much? Adam seemed preoccupied when he got back from the Tour. I thought then it wouldn’t be long. Drake seemed a bit distant, too.
@DeDe: It was a combination of everything. Mostly Adam’s work schedule, though.
@queeneetha:
Could not agree with you more. I always thought Drake looked a little sleazy and not even good looking. Drake looked like a clingly weasel in the 7/11 photo shoot, where drake kissed Adam in the car just to get his own pic in the paper. Adam can do much better than this.Plus he never smiled. !!
@maggie: I wondered if that was a set up because Drake definitely instigated that kiss with Adam in the car. Sometimes, the paparazzi pay for special shots and maybe Drake knew it was ending with Adam, so he set that up for some side money.Maybe Adam found out, because they ended right after.
@Trisha:
That’s a bit of a stretch – Drake getting $$ from the paps. I do not think that happened.
Not a big Drake fan, but as many said above, he is considered very cute in the gay community and like any really cute guy (or girl), he is accustomed to attention. Adam is too busy and Drake was not liking it. Many would feel that way. I’m beginning to be very sad about this. I always thought Adam could do much better, but Drake is probably considered a very desirable ‘catch’ by gays – just on his looks alone – ignoring that fact that he has no money. As a chorus boy in Wicked before Idol, Adam was earning well over $90,000/year. I doubt Drake has earned $90,000 total over the past 3 years. Well, you only need one primary earner in a relationship.
Drake is history, make room for Kradam!!! All us tinhatters know what’s goin’ on, and TPTB are in on it big time. Peeps, think about it. Why else would they create a Kradam forum on both AO and KAO? And, why would RMGED, site mod and head of online marketing for Adam’s whole campaign at RCA tell all those Kradam hating ‘smart-asses’ to ‘take a hike’ on AO?!! RMGED, you are my f***ing hero! They ARE smart-asses, way to tell them off! Thanks to RMGED and TPTB, Kradam is here to stay, in more ways than one. Take that Glamberts!!!
@KRADAMkat:
OMG – LMFAO!!! Pure satire – and it’s hilarious. I know who you are, btw. LMFAO!!
I think Drake is too skinny and femme for Adam.. It’s good that they broke up
@Kris:
HA! HA! That’s good Kradam FTW!:)
Good riddance. Drake always looks greasy and ****** with his awful tacky tank tops. And his friends and mom are complete fame-ho’s. Find someone of your stature, Adam! *cough*ferras*cough*
Kradam is not real. Never has been, never will be, sorry to tell you.
I think that Adam got what he needed out of the relationship and then kicked him to the curb..I wasn’t a huge Drake fan, but he was there all thru the Idol process supporting him and also for the tour..wow it only took him a little over a month to dump him once the tour was over…
@Southernchik: That’s not true at all. While it was true that Drake was there for him on tour and during the show, the relationship simply wasn’t working any more. There was nowhere else for them to take it. It wasn’t a matter of “Adam kicking poor Drake to the curb.”
@Southernchik:
That is unfair. You are talking apples and oranges.
Who knew when they met that Adam was about to hit the world stage in a such a huge way? Who knew when they met that Adam would have insane career opportunities and all the accompanying demands? What fledgling relationship begun under those circumstances could reasonably be expected to evolve and survive?
If Drake hadn’t met Adam, he’d still be in New Orleans, a virtual unknown. Drake, previously known as Adam Lambert’s boyfriend and still known as Adam Lambert’s ex-boyfriend, certainly wouldn’t be having his own art show in LA in a few weeks. Drake is definitely better off in more ways than one for having known Adam Lambert.
I wasn’t really liking Drake. He seems too into himself, Adam needs someone who will understand him and who will make him happy. I like Adam single, it lets him be closer to his fans. I wish I’d get a chance to date Adam, but hey so does every Lambert fan right? :-) Hope it goes well for you Adam. I’d hate to see you sad.
Warum zum Teufel sind eigentlich immer alle hübschen männer schwul?!?!
Voll die Verschwendung…*heul*
in english:
Why the hell are most good-looking guys gay?!
What a waste…
Well, the main thing is, he fells happy. *cry*
Yeah, but Adam likes ‘em girly… He likes them ‘young’ and ‘small’ Duh
Thank you for this page. Thats all I will say. You most obviously have constructed this web property into something speciel. You clearly know what you are working at, youve insured so many bases.kind regards
You certainly comprehend what youre talking about, and i can really get behind that. Thanks for becoming so upfront and so honest.
I like this website very much, Its a very nice place to read and receive info .
best yet Here’s some mildly amuzing stuff I found: Thought for the day? : I’m not paranoid, they really are after me.
Thanks for another excellent article. Where else could anybody get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such info.
