Jared Leto & Valery Kaufman's Relationship Explained By a Source

For years, rumors have swirled about the nature of Jared Leto‘s relationship with Valery Kaufman. Many presumed they have been dating for years, but neither have spoken publicly about their relationship.

Now, a source is speaking out about the 48-year-old musician and actor and 26-year-old model.

“They initially seemed to be friends,” a source told People. “They would meet up with groups of people and all hangout. They didn’t go on solo dates.”

“Over the years, things seem to have turned romantic,” the source added. “They have been off and on now for a few years, but seem to spend more time together lately.”

“Valery even hung out with Jared‘s mom earlier this year,” the source added. The last photos we have of Jared and Valery are actually from earlier this year when they spent time with his mom.
