A curious blind item in Laineygossip today.
‘Nothing to laugh about here — this one we will all be sad about. All of us. Because it’s almost over for them. After rising together and stabilising together and conveniently finding a home together, where you’d think work would be so much easier, and having the babies too, they’re close to formally ending it, and there may be an announcement soon…which, well, if you look at him it doesn’t seem to have affected him physically. Everyone says he really cares about his appearance these days, more than ever, and is looking hotter than ever. Or, as one person put it, “hot all of a sudden”. Emotionally too he hasn’t let on that there’s anything wrong. For what it’s worth, I’m told there was no third party involvement. Perhaps that means it’s amicable, just the end of their story. Perhaps we’ll be more choked about it than they are. As I drench my waffles in more maple syrup.’
The maple syrup had me terribly confused: I was racking my brain for Canadian celebrities. But…. Lesley Knope on Parks and Recreation has her own brand of Waffles. Lesley Knope is played by Amy Poehler. So… my guess for this clever blind is Amy Poehler and Will Arnett. Once you figure out that, all Lainey’s other clues fall into place perfectly.
