Sigh. Is Jon Hamm a Cheater, Too?

If you believe the story being peddled by The Daily, and by eyewitnesses and, you know, people that Jon‘s actually been hitting on, then yes, Jon Hamm might be a cheater, too.

From The Daily:

Jon Hamm won’t find out if he’s TV’s best actor until Sept. 23. But there’s one thing he’s definitely talented at — acting like he’s a single man. Although he’s been in a serious relationship with girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt for almost 15 years, Flash has learned exclusively that Hamm has been hitting the bars hard in recent weeks, chatting up pretty women who aren’t his girlfriend.

Hamm first raised eyebrows while visiting Kansas City, Mo., for baseball’s All-Star Game. Flying solo at a Yahoo-sponsored VIP party at CrossroadsKC at Grinders on July 8, he chatted up a hot blonde wearing a sheer shirt — a dead ringer for his absent girlfriend.

“He was super nice!” the woman told Flash. “I joked with him about taking a picture with a Jayhawk,” the University of Kansas mascot, since “there is a slight ‘border war’ between [Hamm’s alma mater] the University of Missouri and the University of Kansas, and he was a great sport about it.” The two even posed for a cozy picture. “Many, many of my friends are jealous of that one,” she said.

Later that week, he got up close and personal with a gorgeous brunette in Rome. Photos from the OCTO The New Architecture of Time by Bulgari dinner on July 13 show Hamm getting handsy with gorgeous Italian actress Anna Safroncik. Westfeldt was nowhere to be seen.

One week later, he was at it again during at night out at Hot Bird in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Thursday, where he was accompanied by a statuesque blonde — again, not Westfeldt. “He didn’t even really want to go out, but I convinced him,” she was overheard bragging at the bar on Monday. Once there, she said, he pounded lagers and “was surprised nobody was coming up to him!”

But apparently, he soon found a solution to that problem. Accompanied by fellow actor pals Jon Glaser and Eugene Mirman, Hamm hit on the female bargoers, according to Twitter user @crashnabula. “They had no game either,” he tweeted the next day. “They just bought drinks for every mediocre girl they approached, and the girls dipped after 10 min of convo.”

All just a bit of innocent conversation? Perhaps. Or maybe he was just in character as mad man Don Draper. But with the recent blind items and Internet buzz surrounding Hamm, his secret nights out are sure to come under even more scrutiny.

Do all good things have to come to an end (yes, they do)? Are there any decent people left in this world (certainly not in Hollywood, that’s for damn sure)? Is Jon Hamm really cheating on Jennifer Westfeldt (sure, why not)? These are the questions that are plaguing me this afternoon. It bugs me to think that while Jennifer Westfeldt is at home, pining away for the children she’ll probably never have as long as she’s with Jon Hamm, and that Jon Hamm is out at the bar, hitting on twentysomethings that really aren’t all that interested to begin with. There’s something inherently sad about the entire situation, but who knows. Maybe it’s just the Twilight love feud that’s got me on a cynical hangover this afternoon, I don’t know.

I’ll leave this one up to you guys—is Jon Hamm cheating? And if you think he really is, can you break it to a girl gently?

  • I never did believe in the “life partner” baloney. It’s only cheating if it says Mr. & Mrs. on the checks in my opinion. A legally married woman always makes out better in the break-up than the life partner does. Get a ring on it, ladies!! Plus, those twentysomethings you mentioned are good and plenty interested if they know who he is $$$$$. Don’t reality suck?!

  • There’s a blind item going around at the moment – the gist is that a ‘good’ guy who we all thought would never cheat & is faithful to his partner is actually cheating with a costar & hitting on young 20-something starlets. Jon Hamm is the popular guess for it, and this seems to tie in…

    Then again, people are always looking for ways to tarnish the ‘good’ guy or girls rep… so who knows?? Starting to look a bit damning though..

    And, bitchy aside: the article says something about a hot blonde being a dead ringer for J.Westfelt… hahaha well, she could only be one hot or a dead-ringer – not both!

  • I am probably the only person in the world upset about the “slight border war” error. It is a HUGE border war dating back 150+ years.
    But also I am upset about Jon Hamm being a cheater.. unless it’s with me.
