In news that recalls a very uncomfortable scene from
The Devil Wears Prada, sources have shared that
Vouge Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour has officially split up with her partner of more than 20 years, Shelby Bryan. Bryan and Wintour got together in 1999 when Wintour was married to psychiatry professor David Schaffer with whom she has two grown children, Bee and Charles. Wintour and Schaffer divorced that same year.
Page Six reported that the couple’s relationship has been in a cooling off period for as much as seven years, possibly starting after Bryan got into tax trouble to the tune of $1.2 million. “That was the beginning of the end,”
said the site’s source. “He started to become a liability. It’s been quite a while since they’ve been seen together.” While Anna has been
doing the WFH routine, running
Vogue from her Greenwich Village townhouse, it’s reported that Bryan has been spending time on the other side of the country—in Texas, where he’s from.Hours after the news of the breakup broke, a
PEOPLE story revealed the split actually isn't new. According to the mag's sources, Wintour and Bryan actually separated years ago without letting the public know. The exact number of years is not shared.
