Here at TheThings, we have the 411 on what really led to the couple’s spilt.
Their Love Affair Started On Instagram
Meeting someone new on the web almost never works out. Though, some people have good luck when it comes to forming a connection with someone via social media. By Queen frontman Adam Lambert being on the road all the time, the chance encounter with Spanish model Javi Costa Polo couldn’t come at a better time. According to sources, the two first met on Instagram back in March of 2019. On the RuPaul’s Drag Race reality show, Lambert discussed how he and the Spanish model’s relationship transpired.
The 38-year-old explained that their messaging back and forth had eventually turned into an in-person date. Lambert revealed that the date went well, noting at the “good vibes” throughout their interaction. At the time, he predicted that the first-good-date spelled for the “beginning of a promising relationship.” For a minute, it seemed like the Queen frontman had been right. Lambert and Javi Costa Polo stayed together for 2 long years, happy in bliss and in love. No matter the 13-15 age difference, the two truly loved one another. To show his love for the Spanish model, Lambert even wrote the single “New Eyes” in his honor. These two seemed like they were on the right track. They might’ve even been marriage material.
The Breakup
At first glance, things between former American Idol contestant Adam Lambert and his much younger boyfriend, Javi Costa Polo seemed fine. They spent tons of time together and showered each other with love. On the outside, they appeared like the perfect couple. Unfortunately, their 2-year-romance came to a screeching halt when Polo’s visa expired.
In November of 2020, Polo divulged information pertaining to their breakup and his plans to return home in Spain. According to sources, the then 24-year-old had resided in the country until 2015. “I'm not a citizen of the United States. So we both decided that that's the best thing for me. In order to keep growing and learning, I need to be in a country that gives me the right to be that,” Polo said during the video. Before making the following statement, Polo made it known that he cared deeply for Lambert. He stated that the decision to leave the US was heartbreaking, since “he loved Adam the most.” If he had a choice in the matter, he’d choose to stay with the singer. Unfortunately, Lambert and Polo couldn’t make their relationship work out for the better. It’s sad when the good times have to come to an end.
Adam Lambert Moves On
While fans took the breakup between Adam Lambert and his boyfriend Javi Costa Polo hard, so did the stars themselves. Of course, both partners expressed their heartbreak via social media and in a handful of interviews. Lambert especially made it known how distraught he was after their breakup. However, the singer had prepared himself for the inevitable, given his line of work. In a previous interview, he noted: “how difficult it is to make a connection with someone while being on the road all the time.” Apparently, Lambert’s a true rolling stone; it’s not often that the star finds himself in a long-term relationship. Apart from dating Finnish tv personality Sauli Koskinen for 2-years, Polo had been Lambert’s second longest relationship.
Despite his earlier reservations about relationships, Adam Lambert still tries his hand at having some semblance of a dating life. According to The Daily Mail, back in 2019, Lambert was seen cozying up to someone new in Tulum, Mexico. Earlier that same year, Lambert claimed he was single but had the “right headspace.” By this, Lambert clearly meant he was ready to return to the dating scene again.
Furthermore, Adam Lambert and Javi Costa Polo ended their relationship the best way they could. Both parties made their heartbreak known to fans but there wasn’t any ill feelings between the two. In any case, their love affair ended because neither could commit to a long-distance relationship. Some relationships just end based on bad circumstances. Adam Lambert’s relationship with Polo were just at the wrong place and time to meet.
