Introduction:
Adam Lambert and Partner Oliver Gliese Split After More Than Three Years Together
Grammy-nominated singer and American Idol alum Adam Lambert has ended his relationship with Oliver Gliese after more than three years together. The breakup, confirmed by sources to TMZ and Daily Mail, was described as amicable, respectful, and free of drama.
Lambert, 43, and Gliese, a Danish fashion professional and Twitch streamer, began dating in 2020 after being spotted together in Mexico. Their romance became official in early 2021, when Lambert shared a photo on Instagram captioned “date night.” Over the years, they became fan favorites, appearing on red carpets, traveling the world, and sharing glimpses of their life on social media.
Gliese brought a vibrant energy into Lambert’s life, inspiring songs on his 2024 EP Afters and joining him at high-profile events like New York Pride. The couple’s bond was rooted in mutual support — in 2023, Lambert publicly defended Gliese against homophobic attacks, praising him as “beautiful, brave, and daring.”
By mid-2024, fans noticed the couple’s social media presence had faded, hinting at changes behind the scenes. Their split comes during a transitional period for Lambert, who recently sold his Hollywood Hills home for $6.22 million and is preparing for new creative projects. Among them: playing Judas Iscariot in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl in August 2025, as well as developing an original musical set in 1970s New York City.
Though their romance has ended, Lambert continues to embrace love, growth, and authenticity. He has long been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, and his artistry often reflects his personal journey. Fans have flooded social media with messages of encouragement, commending the singer’s grace and resilience.
Lambert’s history suggests that, as with past relationships, this chapter will fuel new creativity. His album Trespassing (2012) made history as the first by an openly gay artist to top the Billboard 200, and his latest EP Afters channeled the joy of his years with Gliese.
For now, both Lambert and Gliese are moving forward separately but with mutual respect — a testament to the maturity that defined their partnership. As Lambert once wrote, “Love is the answer.”
