Busting bad dish!

Kiefer Sutherland not having a re-run with his ex, as claimed

Truth rating: 2

Gossip Cop loves nothing more than rekindled romances, and so we were excited to read that Kiefer Sutherland is trying it again with his ex.

“It’s take two for Kiefer Sutherland and his ex-wife, former model Kelly Winn,” writes the Star, which conveniently has a “source,” who says, “He’s been sneaking up to her house in L.A. and spending a lot of time with her.”

The usual suspects picked up the weekly’s claim that after a recent relationship with a magazine editor ended, Sutherland “raced back” into Winn’s arms. “He’s finally realized he never should have left Kelly,” the “source” tells the mag.

Oh wait, there’s actually one thing that Gossip Cop loves even more than rekindled romances – it’s accurate reporting. And unfortunately, the Star’s story is not a good example of it.

A rep for Sutherland told Gossip Cop it’s “not true” that the “24” star is involved in a Winn-Winn situation.

    I am a bit confused with the reporting. So Kiefer’s rep is saying that its not true that he is getting back with his wife Kelly but what about that Fashion Editor that he recently ended their relationship with? Is that also not true? So is he still with Siobhan Bonnoviour, Style Director for Allure magazine or did Kiefer’s rep also confirmed that he has ended his relationship with her?

  • Christy

    Kiefer’s rep denied that he and Kelly are back together, i.e., this “story” was made up, is untrue, etc.

    So, if he’s with Siobhan, he’s with Siobhan… and, if he’s not, it has nothing at all to do with this story.

    Mimosa, Christy,

    Thanks for commenting.

    The Star noted that after the break-up with the magazine editor, he raced back to his ex-wife. Kiefer is definitely not with his ex-wife and, as far as we can tell, he’s also not with the editor ex-girlfriend. [Note: We try not to mention the names of private citizens, i.e. the editor -- it doesn't/won't always work, but we're trying to protect those who are not public figures.]

    To add (b/c I just figured out, I think, how anyone possibly could be confused by this story)…

    When this report says “The weekly claims that after a recent relationship with a magazine editor ended…”, the key words are “The weekly claims that…” i.e., this Gossip Cop story is just repeating what the denied story said.

    Quiet though they’ve fallen publicly, I’m sure that the group of folks out there who are desperate for evidence that Siobhan no longer is part of Kiefer’s life are going strong and were excited by this hiccup, but sorry… whatever is or isn’t true about their relationship, neither the denied ‘story’ or the denial itself are your tickets to a Siobhan-less paradise.

    Hi Michael. Thanks for your response!

    When you say that, as far as you can tell, he’s not with the magazine editor, do you mean that you asked about the relationship with her and that was denied too? Or do you just mean that you asked about and there was no positive confirmation of it? Or do you mean that you just weren’t able to find any independent confirmation of it?

    I know that probably sounds like a really fine line of detail, but it’s significant within the world of Kiefer fandom in that way that things can become significant within fandoms. :)

    He/his people never have publicly spoken about/confirmed the relationship with the magazine editor… which, by extension, makes it seem extremely unlikely to me that he’d/they’d publicly confirm a break-up either.

    Thanks, Christy

    His people didn’t address the editor aspect, and we couldn’t find independent confirmation that they were still together.

    Hope that helps!

  • Christy

    Thanks again, Michael! Yes, that helps… and it’s what I figured. :)

    Michael – Kiefer’s reps did address it directly today. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20319941,00.html

    “The 24 star “is happily dating Siobhan Bonnouvrier,” who is the style director for Allure magazine, his rep tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.

    “There is absolutely no truth to recent reports about Kiefer Sutherland reuniting with
his ex-wife Kelly Winn,” says the statement. “Mr. Sutherland and Ms. Winn have remained good friends since they separated in 1999.”

    That’s if you’re silly enough to believe what People.com/People magazine write.
