MUSE frontman Matt Bellamy has found some solace following his split from model Elle Evans, his wife of six years.
I’m told he has been spending time with sex therapist Gaia Polloni — who he dated for nine years in the Noughties.
A source said: “Matt and Gaia are still good mates and they’ve been spending time together following his split from Elle.
“It’s been a hard time for him, naturally, as it would be after the end of any marriage.
“Gaia has always been a great sounding board. Matt is focused on healing and moving forwards into co-parenting with Elle.”
Matt was seen in Notting Hill, West London, last week without his wedding ring and walking next to Italian Gaia.
They first started dating in 2001 and Matt popped the question six years later.
But in 2009, the relationship broke down and they called off their engagement.
After the break-up, Matt told an Italian magazine he would “do anything” to fix their relationship.
He went on to write Muse’s track Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) for Gaia a year on from their split.
We revealed at the weekend that Elle and Matt had called time on their marriage.
They actually split in October.
A pal said: “Their relationship is very amicable. They are now focused on co-parenting their children and still get on very well.”
Matt had been splitting his time between London and LA – where Matt’s son from his relationship with Kate Hudson lives.
Now he is expected to spend more time in the UK, after admitting he wanted to come home.
