This week’s National Enquirer cover story is “Who’s Gay & Who’s Not,” and a 44-year-old unmarried actress like Lisa Edelstein seems like ripe fodder for gay rumors. But the mag also claims Lisa is dating an artist named Robert Russell.
Sexy House doctor Lisa Edelstein has found love on and off the screen. Lisa — whose TV character is embroiled in a red-hot romance with Hugh Laurie’s gruff Dr. Gregory House on the popular FOX series — is now dating artist Robert Russell, The Enquirer has learned.
“Lisa has really clicked with Robert,” said an insider. “They have great chemistry and share a love for art and social causes.”
The 44-year-old never-married actress, who portrays no-nonsense hospital administrator Dr. Lisa Cuddy on the medical drama, has kept her relationship with Robert under wraps for the past few months. But the two decided to go public in early December and were photographed together at the AIDS Research Alliance Press Conference in Los Angeles on Dec. 1 and then at the L’Oreal Women of Worth Awards in New York on Dec. 9.
Although she dated her Finnish yoga instructor Petri Raisanen throughout 2007 and artist Giammario Villa in 2008, Lisa has been busy with the show and focusing on her charitable causes for the past two years. Her favorite charities include Best Friends Animal Society, Save the Children, Planned Parenthood and amfAR.
“Lisa’s never been married because she’s extremely picky about men,” explained the insider. “And for the last year or so, Lisa’s favorite companions have been her beloved rescue dogs.”
But all that changed when Lisa met 39-year-old Robert.
“They are both art lovers and Robert is also a big believer in animal sanctuaries and causes,” revealed the insider.
Robert, who has two small children, split with his 38-year-old wife, Paulina Quintana, in August after almost eight years of marriage. He filed for divorce in LA in November, citing irreconcilable differences.
Despite the fact that Robert jumped into his romance with Lisa only a short time after his marriage breakup, his estranged wife told The Enquirer that she bears no ill will toward Lisa. Said Paulina, a children’s clothing designer: “I’ve never met Lisa, but I’m sure she’s a lovely person.”

I remember reading that Lisa was picky about men, so I’m glad to read she’s found love. I hope it lasts and it’s not just a rebound for him. Lisa seems like a smart woman, and I applaud anyone who supports animal charities.
I haven’t watched House this season, so I don’t know how well the House/Cuddy romance is working, but I’m not a fan of it in theory. It seems like a “jump the shark” move. Right or wrong, House fans?
Note by Celebitchy: I think House definitely jumped the shark when Cuddy hooked up with House. I can’t believe she would willingly get with him, and the show seems more outrageous than usual this season.
Note by Kaiser: I like their romance. I also think the writers had to do it - it makes sense that they would give each other a chance, I think. Plus, it’s interesting seeing a romance between two over-40 professionals on network television, and I think they’re being somewhat realistic with how the romance is dealt with. I can’t wait for Candace Bergen to come on as Mother Cuddy!
