George Michael has shot down reports he has split from his longtime partner Kenny Goss.

It had been claimed that Kenny, 50, walked out on George at Christmas, but they kept their separation quiet as the Careless Whisper hitmaker begged him for another chance. They have been together for 13 years.

The final straw apparently came, reports said, when George, 46, was arrested in the toilets on London’s Hampstead Heath and charged with possessing drugs last year.

“Kenny had given George many chances,” a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper. “But after the Hampstead Heath incident he said he couldn’t take any more. Everyone knew George wasn’t just in there to do drugs — the place is well known as a place to pick up men.

“Despite George saying they had an open relationship, Kenny never agreed with George’s urges to go out cruising for other men, or with his excessive use of cannabis. He is embarrassed by what George had put him through.

“They had been due to marry on their 10th anniversary back in 2006, but Kenny told him it was off unless he changed his ways. But it seems George just couldn’t.”

But George has spoken out to set the record straight.

“There is no truth in the matter at all,” his spokesman told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.

“Kenny has been away in Dallas where he owns a gallery but is scheduled to return home this Friday. They are planning a lovely weekend together.”
