Jessica Sutta's manager romance

Dec 15, 2008, 4:00 GMT

Pussycat Dolls star Jessica Sutta is dating the group's manager.

The sexy singer has reportedly been romancing Jeff Haddad for just over a month, but the pair have been trying to keep the fledgling relationship a secret while it's still in its early stages.

A source said: "Jeff is not your usual manager. He's not dull, he's in his 30s, is cool and is very good looking. Things between him and Jessica just developed naturally but they seem to be smitten with each other."

However, since becoming his girlfriend, Jeff has reportedly been favouring Jessica, 26, over the other girls - Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Melody Thornton and Kimberly Wyatt - when it comes to decisions about the chart-topping group.

A source is quoted as saying: "Jeff is trying to give Jessica more lead parts, which is obviously annoying the other girls. He's also been buying her flowers and staying in the best hotel rooms with her. But these things are getting to Jessica's bandmates because they feel she is becoming part of the management rather than just being a Pussycat Doll."

Nicole is dating Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton and is rumoured to be planning to help him launch a music career.
