Vanity Fair probably doesn’t have the Gwyneth Paltrow article ready yet. There was no Gwyneth headline on the Nicole Kidman cover, and there is no buzz about anything Goopy in the December issue at all. So maybe it will make the January issue, which will be released in the beginning of December? Pre-Christmas holiday with Gwyneth’s takedown? That would be a lovely Christmas present.
Anyway, as everyone keeps claiming, Vanity Fair is going to reveal Gwyneth’s 2009 affair (alleged!) with Florida billionaire Jeffrey Soffer. He was not married at the time, but she was. She and Chris Martin were having problems and she spent a lot of time in Florida, staying at Jeffrey’s mansion. In Touch Weekly even claimed last week that all of their friends knew about the affair, that it was an open secret, and that Jeff and Gwyneth would even hold hands at private parties. Interesting enough, this Gwyneth affair might have overlapped with the beginning of his relationship with Elle Macpherson. Elle and Jeff have been together since late 2009 (there’s the overlap) and they just got married a few months ago. So, what does Elle think of all of this gossip?
Amid reports that Gwyneth Paltrow once had an affair with billionaire Jeff Sofer, friends say that Jeff’s new wife Elle Macpherson has a message for her former pal.
“Elle doesn’t want Gwyneth anywhere near her man,” a source close to Jeff tells In Touch, explaining that Soffer was allegedly hooking up with Gwyneth when he met Elle back in early 2009.
“Jeff and Gwyneth’s relationship stopped as soon as Elle came on the scene – Elle made sure of that.”
(A rep for Gwyneth denies the romance.)
But sources say Elle has been struggling to cope as details emerge about just how close Jeff was with Gwyneth. “It’s only been a few months since her wedding,” says an insider close to Elle, who tied the knot with Jeff in Fiji in August. “She’s so upset that this has tainted everything.”
And while Elle plans to keep her head down in hopes it will blow over, one thing will never change, says the source: “Elle hates Gwyneth.”

“Jeff and Gwyneth’s relationship stopped as soon as Elle came on the scene – Elle made sure of that.” Nice try, honey. Don’t try to be all “I’m a warrior, you’re not going to take my man!” when it’s pretty clear that there was an overlap between the beginning of your relationship and the end of his previous relationship. Plus, dollars to donuts it was Gwyneth who ended things with Soffer. Now, all that being said… yes, I can totally see how Elle would hate Gwyneth. I mean, Jeff and Elle JUST got married and now he’s been dragged into this Vanity Fair fatwa? I would be pissed too.
