Is Lady Gaga a homewrecker?

A couple of weeks ago, we saw photos of nearly unrecognizable (read: normally dressed) Lady Gaga toting around a baby. The baby was identified as the son of her on-again boyfriend, an art director with her production company named Matthew Williams. Williams designs Gaga’s crazy outfits and is partially to blame for her attention-getting style. It turns out that there’s a whole backstory there and it’s not favorable to Gaga or Williams. Williams and Gaga were dating up until late 2008, but had broken up for over a year. Williams was in a live-in relationship with his baby’s mother up until he rekindled his relationship with Gaga while they were on tour together. When sparks flew between the two, Williams dumped his girlfriend and the mother of his baby over the phone.

In the March 1 issue of Star — on sale today — we report that when a dressed down Gaga was photographed toting a tot on Feb.3, she was on a shopping trip with on-again boyfriend, Matthew “Dada” Williams, an art director with her Hause of Gaga production company. And the adorable little tot balanced on Gaga’s hip was Matt’s 10-month-old son, Cairo, by his former live-in love — fashion stylist Erin Hirsh, who was coldly dumped by Matt after Gaga rekindled their romance, sources tell Star exclusively!

“Matt was crazy about Erin, but then Gaga manipulated to get him back,” says a friend.

When Cairo was just 2 months old, Matt left Erin and the baby behind to join Gaga on her international tour — and that was the beginning of the end of his family life. Soon after he called Erin to tell her he wouldn’t be coming home. While Matt didn’t say his decision was because he had rekindled his romance with the disco goddess. Soon after, photos surfaced of Gaga and Matthew kissing passionately during a night out in London.

“Erin saw the pictures and realized what was going down,” says the friend. “Even though Matt had told her in so many words that they were through, actually seeing Gaga getting it on with the father of her child was absolutely devastating to her.”

The print edition of Star has more, including quotes from the other woman Erin Hirsh’s mom. She said simply that “My daughter and Matthew were together for a year and a half – but they’re no longer a couple.” Unnamed sources are quoted as saying “Matt has absolutely not apologized to Erin. He thinks he’s done nothing wrong whatsoever. It’s a shame, but he’s impressionable and seems to be caught up in this magic ride of fame.” They also say that Matt isn’t great about arranging visitation with his son, Cairo. (What kind of name is Cairo?) “Matt does try to see Cairo when he’s in town, but sometimes he doesn’t show up when he’s supposed to. He can be really flaky.”

It’s not surprising to hear that the guy responsible for Gaga’s outrageous style is an unfaithful flake. I don’t know much about Lady Gaga but I didn’t expect her to be the type of person to date a guy with a girlfriend. This crap happens all the time though.

In related Lady Gaga news, she’s helping promote a line of condoms designed by Jeremy Scott. Gaga, a representative of the MAC AIDS Viva Glam campaign to increase AIDs awareness, calls the condoms “a fashion statement.” I guess she won’t be toting around her own baby anytime soon.

Note: I’m not sure that the guy below is Williams, but it looks like the same guy identified as him in the Star article.
