“Kelsey was very popular with the ladies — and John would just roll his eyes and get annoyed," said the source. "There was a part of John that missed the excitement of romance, so there might have been a tinge of jealousy, too.”

“John had many friends, but was very lonely,” said a source close to the never-married and childless “Eight Men Out” star.

“He spent his final years watching reruns on TV and playing cards with his friends, and avoided talking about his private life,” dished the insider. “His secret brought him lots of pain and regret.”
