Adam Lambert's Heartbreak: Split from Oliver Gliese after Four-Year Romance

Adam Lambert (R, pictured in 2023) has reportedly amicably ended his relationship with boyfriend Oliver Gliese (L) after four years of dating

BREAKING: Adam Lambert's Love Life Drama!

Grammy-nominated superstar Adam Lambert, 43, has reportedly ended his four-year romance with Twitch streamer Oliver Gliese, 29 - and sources close to the ex-couple claim their split was "drama-free"!

According to TMZ, the former flames parted ways within the last month, but don't worry, folks - there's no need for popcorn just yet. Insiders reveal that the breakup was amicable, with neither party seeking to air their dirty laundry on social media.

At 43, the Grammy nominee (R) is 14 years older than the Twitch streamer (L), and they 'broke up within the last month' and it's 'drama free' (pictured in 2024)

But what about those Instagram snaps, you ask? Well, Adam and Oliver haven't posted a photo featuring each other since June 2024 - a subtle sign that things had cooled between them?

Now, back in May 2021, the Cabaret heartthrob went Insta-official with Oliver, sharing a sweet snap captioned: "Love is the answer." Fast-forward to March 2024, and Adam was still gushing about his beau on social media - even publicly defending him against homophobic comments!

Adam penned an emotional post saying: "He is beautiful and brave and daring. One of the many things I love about him! We are very happy together, and if the haters don't like it, we don't really give a f*. Grow up and challenge yourself to explore tolerance."

However, the ex-couple haven't posted an Instagram snap featuring one another since June 2024 (pictured in 2024)

But what's next for Adam? The Queen + Adam Lambert frontman has been keeping busy, celebrating LGBTQIA+ Pride month in New York City with his "ride or dies" (formerly Oliver Gliese). He even sold his four-bedroom Hollywood Hills estate for a whopping $6.2M - $300K less than he paid for it in 2018!

Speaking of big deals, Adam's musical career is still going strong! With over 11.5 million social media followers and 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, this rockstar has sold an impressive 3 million records worldwide.

And what about his next move? Adam's been working on an original musical - a glam-filled, 1970s-set production that's sure to get the crowds dancing! He teased: "It takes place in New York. It's glam. And that's kind of all I can say."

But don't worry, folks - we won't leave you hanging. We've got our eyes on Adam's rep for a comment... and we're keeping tabs on Oliver's new adventures as his drag persona, Valkyrie!

Adam told Variety's Stagecraft podcast on Tuesday: '[Judas] is questioning everything. He's critical. He's analytical. He's the one person that'll argue with Jesus. And I think part of it is that Judas reflects my shadow self. If I'm being honest with myself or anybody else about what my faults are, I can see those same faults in Judas'
