Insiders told “The Daily Mail” that Patti LaBelle, 71, and her drummer Eric Seats, 41, have been quietly dating for over a year.
LaBelle reportedly left a bad relationship and turned to Seats to help heal her broken heart.
The source claims Seats, who has toured with LaBelle for years, even left LA to move in with LaBelle in Philadelphia.
Though Seats is accomplished in his own right, having toured with Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige and produced songs for Destiny’s Child and Aaliyah, her 42-year-old son/manager Zuri Edwards is said to be displeased with the union.
