Amid reports that Tiffany “New York” Pollard broke up with George “Tailor Made” Weisgerber, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively that it was actually the other way around.
“In January, George had a serious discussion with Tiffany,” says the source. “He had come to the conclusion that he couldn’t handle the relationship anymore. It was too distracting to his life, his career and his daughter. He couldn’t consistently be involved in that kind of drama.”
A spokesperson for Weisgerber would not comment on his personal life, but said, “He’s very happy.”
So what went wrong for the happy couple, who got engaged in December 2007 on the finale of I Love New York 2?
“Their lives are very different,” says the source. “When they first got back from L.A. after they filmed I Love New York 2, everything was great.”
But eventually Weisgerber, who quit his job at Calvin Klein to go on the reality show, had to get back to work. “He said he almost felt guilty that she was home alone,” says the source of Weisgerber, who landed a new job with Mark Ecko. “She wasn’t used to dating someone with a traditional 9-to-5 job.”
After several failed attempts at reconciliation, the couple ended their relationship in mid-February. Tiffany “was upset” about the breakup, says the source.
Pollard could not be reached for comment.
However, a rep for VH1 tells PEOPLE that the couple broke up in March and the drama will play out on Pollard’s new VH1 show: “They broke up during the filming of New York Goes Hollywood. The whole drama went down with our cameras rolling and will play out for the audience.”
According to the source, the couple only pretended to still be together for the sake of the show. “When they began shooting, he played it up that they were still together even though they weren’t,” says the source. “They had an understanding because he has respect for Tiffany.”
Regardless of when the breakup happened, New York and Tailor Made remain friends, says the source: “They continue to communicate regularly. He thinks she’s a sweetheart. And always will.” –K.C. Baker
