In a scandalous National Enquirer bombshell, a guy has come forward to say he was Gretchen Rossi’s secret
boyfriend while Jeff Beitzel was dying in the hospital. He claims while she was Jeff during the day, she was sleeping with him at night. Yikes!
Gold-digging Gretchen Rossi was an on-camera Florence Nightingale to her dying millionaire fiancé — but the Real Housewives of Orange County hottie had a secret boyfriend all along, according to Jay Photoglou, the man who claims to have been her undercover lover.
“I was Gretchen’s REAL boyfriend,” Photoglou told The ENQUIRER. “She spent her days at the hospital with her dying fiancé, but her nights with me.”
On the popular reality show, 31-year-old Gretchen became engaged to multimillionaire Jeff Beitzel – and several episodes focused on her devotion to the leukemia victim, who died last Sept. 13.
But Jay, 39, says Gretchen was playing for the cameras — and that he recently called off their relationship. Jay says he and Gretchen began dating in January 2008, and “for the next year we spent most nights together.
I wonder how much Jay was paid for his story? Do I think his story is true? Probably. I’m sure she loved Jeff but she definitely came off as a serious party girl.
In other rumors, it looks like Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley may be hooking up. Although, according to sources it’s only for the cameras. Slade’s a cute guy but I don’t see him dating Gretchen seriously, I think they’re just friends. Anyhoo, stay tuned.


It sure looks that way from her fumbling and lying on the reunion show last night! First he’s a stalker, then an ex, then a good friend, then a family friend, and now former stalker/close family friend/ that stores his clothes at her house and sleeps in her bed? So sad. She had me fooled until last night. Tamara was right to out her.
so what if gretchen was a paid caregiver, it happens every
day. at least this man had his last days happy. i think
tamera is so jealous of gretchen, real boobs, younger, prettier, and can get a man anytime, all they did was snoop at her house, busybodies is all they all are except lynn.
that girl is a pretty good liar, but last night she got caught in her own web of lies. I think Tamra could have outed her in a more mature and intelligent way. You can tell the Tamra is angry with Gretchen and annoyed by her, but it’s understandable because Tamra knew about Jay all along.
