Sanjaya Has a Girlfriend?

Mon, 21 January 2008 at 4:48 pm

American Idol alum Sanjaya Malakar was seen getting cozy and walking arm-in-arm with a ‘female friend’ in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Third wheel sister (and Idol reject) Shyamali accompanied the pair on their lunch date. The brother-sister pair now share a house together in Los Angeles.

Sanjaya recently opened up to People about his music career.

“I’m not in the recording stages yet,” he said. “I’m writing music and starting to interview producers. If I had to define it, it would be alternative pop rock, like Paolo Nutini or James Morrison.”

Sanjaya also mentioned that he’s shopping to do a variety show similar to Donny & Marie in the 1970s.

“[Shyamali and I are] Donny and Marie for the next generation!” Ummm…

It’s always such a joy to see such a happy young couple. LOL As far as far as the aspritrations of Sanjaya and his sister are concerned all I say is good luck. Stranger things have happened.

Um, they’re most likely NOT together. Jared is merely making it interesting by implying something. I’d rather not see another post about him.

You guys are a bunch of dumbasses and homophobes. Have you seen him make out with a guy before or annouce that he is gay no you didn’t.

Ahh… wtf it cut off my comment. I said a lot hah but mostly: He’s not dating her because he’s dating me! DUH! Be very jealous. I love Sanjaya, always have, always will! He is the nicest person ever and an amazing singer, not to mention a total hottie. HE’S MINE! =]

Gay or not I doubt that is his girlfriend. She doesn’t have the slightest interest in Sanjaya in any of these pictures.

Sanjaya looks great here. I’m not sure if this is his girlfriend or if she is just a friend or cousin. I’m sure if he wants us to know we will find out in time. I can’t wait to find out what’s going on with his career!
