    Kate Beckinsale and Goody Grace split because he has "other priorities"

    The 'Underworld' actress has unfollowed her former beau on Instagram and deleted any trace of him on her social media, prompting speculation they have split and it has now been claimed the reason for their separation was because he is "young" and has other things to focus on whilst Kate is said to not be too worried about their split


    A source told People magazine: "It's not a big deal for Kate. It was great for Kate to have him around during the lockdown. Goody is young and has other priorities than her and Kate totally gets it."

    The former couple were first romantically linked in April and dated for six months before splitting.

    It comes after it was claimed Kate thinks Goody is the "perfect quarantine boyfriend".

    The 46-year-old actress had been romancing the 22-year-old musician for most of this year and following social distancing measures imposed to slow the spread of coronavirus, her boyfriend has moved in with her and they're having a great time staying at home together.

    A source said at the time: "They are still quarantined together at her home. Kate enjoys his company. She finds him very mature, smart and creative. He entertains her with music, they cook and watch movies. She thinks he is the perfect quarantine boyfriend. She has been dating him since the beginning of the year. They have fun and Kate seems happy. His age is not an issue for her. It's just a number."

    And the actress - who has 21-year-old daughter Lily with former partner Michael Sheen - recently spoke out to defend the 22-year age gap between herself and Goody.

    After she shared a video on Instagram of her cat trying to learn some tricks, one follower wrote in a now-deleted comment: "Try and see if your new tom boy will adhere (sic)"

    Kate replied: "Try and see if you can spell and not just goon yourself straight out the gate.(sic)"

    Like the original post, her comment was soon deleted.
