Courtney Love at 60: Embracing 'Libertine' Love with Friend of Benefits
COURTNEY LOVE OPENS UP ABOUT HER SHOCKING ROMANTIC LIFE
At the ripe age of 60, Courtney Love is still going strong and living life on her own terms. The widow of Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain has revealed that she's settled into a "friend with benefits" arrangement with someone who shares her free-spirited nature. But don't expect her to spill the beans about her mysterious lover just yet.
Speaking exclusively to Richard Eden for The Scholarly Note, Courtney dished out the juicy details of her personal life. When asked about her current relationship status, she confessed: "I'm a libertine, and the person that I most do my romantic crap with is also a libertine, so we are really more friends with benefits." It's clear that this arrangement works for her, but she's not willing to reveal too much just yet.
"I don't like talking about them because there's jealousy around that person," she hinted, leaving us all wondering who could be the lucky beneficiary of her affection. One thing is certain - Courtney has always been one to live life on her own terms and refuse to conform to societal norms.
But it's not the first time we've seen Courtney take the plunge with someone younger than herself. In 2015, she was involved in a high-profile relationship with Nicholas Jarecki, who was a whopping 15 years her junior. The couple eventually parted ways after a year of romance, but it seems that Courtney has found someone new to share her life with.
As we all know, love triangles can be messy and complicated, and it seems that Courtney's past experiences have left their scars. She confessed that she was involved in a particularly tumultuous affair a few years ago, which ended with her being rejected by the person she loved. Ouch!
Despite her ups and downs in the romance department, Courtney has always been unapologetic about her choices. And who can blame her? After all, as she famously said in an interview with Metro back in 2014: "I'm a 50-year-old woman who's lived a very interesting life, and I've got a very different perspective on things than most women my age."
In fact, it was during this same interview that Courtney regaled us with the hilarious story of how she turned down Liam Gallagher's advances in 2000. Yes, you read that right - she refused to sleep with the Oasis frontman because he had "really bad breath" and looked like a "13th century serf from Monty Python." Ouch!
But it seems that Courtney's daughter Frances was not amused by her mother's rejection of Liam. As she recounted in the interview, Frances was furious with her for turning down the opportunity to sleep with one of rock music's most iconic figures.
"Frances, who loves Oasis more than Nirvana, was furious I didn't sleep with him," Courtney said, chuckling about the incident. "She texted me saying: 'Mommy you are an epic sl*t but you never slept with Liam Gallagher!'" It seems that even at 60, Courtney still has a way of causing controversy and sparking debate.
And it's not just her romantic life that's been making headlines - Courtney's music career is also still going strong. Her band Hole is set to embark on a new tour soon, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented musician.
So there you have it - a glimpse into the personal and professional life of one of rock music's most iconic figures. Whether you love her or hate her, one thing is certain: Courtney Love is still going strong at 60, and she's not showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon.
