Magazine asks the musical question: Why does Elin Nordegren keep hooking up with philandering playboys?
Aug 29, 2011, 1:03 PM EDT
OK, granted, Tiger Woods cheated on Elin Nordegren with roughly one-sixth of the world’s female population. But could it be, wonders OK Magazine, that Elin is somehow drawn to this sort of man? Is an attraction to spoiled playboys in her DNA? From OK Magazine, via Gather.com:
It seems that Jamie Dingman has homes and has numerous women “all over the world” at his disposal. Of course he doesn’t share this information with Elin Nordegren, instead telling her than they’re relationship is exclusive. He has even hauled her kids into the deal, as the four spend a great deal of time together as a family of sorts. Even though Jamie’s friends describe him as low-key, Elin’s friends say he’s nothing but a player, and that her trust in him — just like the trust she once had in Tiger Woods — will ultimately be her downfall.
Jamie Dingman is exceedingly wealthy, and apparently Elin Nordegren has decided that money will be a prerequisite for anyone she dates. Now don’t get the wrong idea here. Elin isn’t digging for gold, but given the $100 million that she will likely get from her divorce from Tiger Woods, she wants to make sure that whomever she dates isn’t digging for gold either. She reasons that if he’s already rich, he surely wouldn’t want her solely for her money.
Where are all the stable, monogamous, good-looking multi-millionaires? I am shocked, shocked to learn that some women seem to be attracted to philandering louts.
But at least the kids are leading normal lives. On Saturday they were “dancing around the Christmas tree.” Um … what?
Nordegren spent the day with her children, Sam, 3, and Charlie, 1½ celebrating Saint Lucia’s Day with about 300 other mostly Swedish people at the First United Methodist Church in Boca Raton, Fla.
“Elin and the children were dancing around the Christmas tree with other families and having such a wonderful time,” a source tells PEOPLE. “Elin had a look of contentment on her face.”
