After six years together, MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee and his wife, Brittany Furlan, have reportedly gone their separate ways — and alcohol may be at the heart of their split.
According to UNN, citing Page Six, the longtime couple has decided to separate, with insiders pointing to Lee’s ongoing struggles with drinking as the likely cause. While no official divorce filings have been made yet, sources say the separation could be a prelude to something more permanent.
Sources close to the pair revealed that Lee, 62, and Furlan, 38, have been living apart for the past two weeks. TMZ reports that Furlan has been urging Lee to get sober, but the rock icon allegedly has “no interest” in doing so. Despite their physical separation, it’s believed that the couple remains in communication, though the future of their relationship remains uncertain.
Fans were quick to pick up on signs of a rift when Lee recently unfollowed Furlan on Instagram. On Thursday, the drummer also posted a cryptic video to his Instagram Story, stating: “Sorry, the feelings you are trying to reach have been disconnected and are no longer available. Please take your emotions elsewhere.”
The message was interpreted by many as a clear signal of emotional distance and possible heartbreak.
For now, speculation continues as both Lee and Furlan remain silent on social media. Whether this is a temporary break or something more permanent, only time will tell.
