Simon Baker is single. The actor of the series The Mentalist, who divorced his wife Rebecca Rigg after 29 years of marriage, had found love in the arms of a new conquest much younger than him: Laura May Gibbs. But it’s already over!
As reported by Mail Online, Simon Baker (52) and Laura May Gibbs (36) have broken up. A spokesperson for the actor confirmed the sad news on Tuesday, November 9, 2021. A separation that actually dates from “several months“and was made”friendly“but was only made official recently. It seems that the entourage of the actor wants to dissociate him at all costs from the image of the young woman, creator of a brand of surf clothes, which is illustrated by divisive positions around vaccination against Covid-19.
Indeed, Laura May Gibbs, via her brand Nagnata, had notably made it known last October on Instagram that she did not want to reopen her Byron Bay store, as long as unvaccinated customers could not legally come shopping there; Australia has imposed very strict measures on the population in the fight against the coronavirus with borders closed for a very long time, extended confinements etc. In addition to this position, Laura May Gibbs was especially seen Sunday, November 7 at an anti-vaccine demonstration on the border between the states of Queensland and New South Wales. We understand better why a spokesperson for the actor therefore wanted to clarify the situation on their relationship.
Simon Baker and Laura May Gibbs, who formalized their romance last March, had not been seen together since August, during a trip to the beach in Byron Bay. It is also in the same place that they were seen for the first time together in February. We discovered that the actor of Devil wears Prada had found love after the announcement of his divorce from Rebecca Rigg, which occurred in April 2020 according to Fox News.
