“At this point he is the sole support of Kristin, Anelise and that household," said Richard, who maintains a friendship with Jamie. “As soon as Kristin has an income of her own it will give her a degree of independence, and Jamie will give her more respect.”
Jamie has hidden the identity of his hush-hush lover for nine years — but
The National ENQUIRER can reveal her name is

“I’m sure Katie didn’t know Jamie’s been paying Kristin’s bills for nearly a decade, and he’s still incredibly protective of her!” a snitch spilled to The ENQUIRER. “Jamie made it his mission to shield Kristin’s identity from the public — and Katie — because he was once madly in love with her.

“He promised Kristin the world and was ready to marry her — until he got cold feet.” Kristin first met Oscar winner Jamie 16 years ago. The two dated for years, and Kristin gave birth to his now nine-year-old daughter, Anelise.

“Kristin and Jamie’s relationship has become more tense in the last year because of
his other relationships,” said Richard. “It makes things more complex, especially considering their daughter [Anelise] is old enough to understand what’s going on.

"Kristin is not necessarily happy the way things are working out," Richard added. "It’s difficult for her.” According to Kristin’s family, “Ray” star Jamie has supported her financially since she quit her job as a human resources manager when she was heavily pregnant with his child.

“They had discussed having a baby for a number of years and then decided to try,” Richard spilled. “They planned a family together.” The two planned to marry, and
paranoid Jamie insisted on eloping in France so they could evade the paparazzi, Richard added.

“There was a time when they talked about being more together than they are, but Jamie’s concern was that it would have to be in Europe. He was talking about France, because he didn’t want the paparazzi to be there. He wanted more of a private relationship. But it never happened.”

Although Kristin was keen to tie the knot, Jamie balked at walking down the aisle. Despite his sudden change of heart, the pair continued to date. “Jamie doesn’t like stepping out in public with Kristin, so he hosts private dinner parties at his Los Angeles mansion,” a source said.
“I’m not sure if Katie knows it’s happening!” After nearly a decade of payoffs, Kristin has decided to return to work, sources said. Kristin wants to be less financially dependent on the star, who has showered her with a $2 million Malibu beach house, luxury cars and five-star vacations.
While Jamie has
bed-hopped with a
long list of beauties since meeting Kristin, she’s remained single — only socializing with a small circle of “Malibu Moms.”
