Since news broke this past weekend that Nicole Murphy and Michael Strahan called off their 5-year engagement, fans have been dying to find out what, exactly, caused the beloved Hollywood couple to split. Earlier this week, reports claimed that Strahan may have cheated on Murphy, but now a new report claims that Murphy may have been cheating as well.
Yesterday, TMZ posted photos of Murphy cozied up with former NBA star Jim Jackson at the Dorado Beach Ritz Carlton in Puerto Rico.
In the photos, Murphy and Jackson can be seen sitting intimately in a cabana on a beach together, and employees from the hotel say the pair were kissing and cuddling with each other.
What makes the story even more intriguing is that Murphy was at the hotel along with Jackson from July 7 to July 10, which is reportedly around the same time that she allegedly discovered that Strahan was cheating on her with another woman.
Sources claim that Murphy just happened to run into Jackson while she was in Puerto Rico and that, although they “hung out,” nothing serious or romantic happened between them. Strahan allegedly knew that Murphy went on the trip, but it’s reported that he was unaware that Murphy met up with Jackson.
Other sources are claiming that, like Strahan allegedly did, Murphy is claiming that she was on a “break” from her relationship with Strahan when she went down to Puerto Rico and hooked up with Jackson.
Well, this has quickly turned into one messy, two-way cheating scandal. Stay tuned for more details because we’re sure there’s only going to be more twists and turns in this breakup. – nicholas robinson
