Wham star Andrew Ridgeley is said to be involved in ‘several’ relationships and as he no longer ‘aspires’ to be monogamous.
The 60-year-old singer – whose last public relationship with socialite Amanda Cronin, ended in May – revealed he didn’t like to talk about the women he was dating.
Andrew split from Keren Woodward of Bananarama in 2017 after 27 years together and although he insisted he was ‘happily single’, he confirmed he was now dating multiple people.
He told the Telegraph magazine: ‘I like to protect the privacy of the women that I’m romantically linked with, or have a romantic interest with.
‘It would be something that one would have to mutually agree if one were to make it public.’
When asked if he was in a relationship at the current moment, he replied: ‘No. I have several [romantic] relationships.

‘Love comes in a variety of forms. I had a long-term relationship with Keren for many years, and we still have a great affection for each other.
‘But at this point in time, I’m not aspiring to a monogamous one, or to commit to a single person for the foreseeable future.
‘The way my life is makes it a bit tricky to hold down any one particular relationship, because I’m not in any one particular place. But yes, I am happily single.’
The star’s former partner Amanda previously suggested she had parted ways with the hitmaker because of their differing views on monogamy and explained she wanted her next partner to be someone she shared values with.

She previously explained to the Daily Mail newspaper: ‘I’m looking for a monogamous relationship.
‘When the next Mr Right comes along, he will have the same set of values that I have. I’m quite traditional, a sweet, country girl.
‘I’m also discerning and want to be around other people who understand what that means.’
Despite sharing her views, Amanda also admitted that could be difficult to date and added: ‘I’m intelligent, demanding. Not for everyone.’
