Michaele Salahi has not been kidnapped, like her husband Tareq originally feared, but has absconded to be with Neal Schon, Journey’s lead guitarist, reports
TMZ.
Michaele’s husband Tareq enlisted the help of the Warren County Sheriff’s Department yesterday after becoming convinced that his wife had been kidnapped.
But TMZ reports that the 'Real Housewives of D.C.' star and White House gatecrasher has been dating Schon for some time and disappeared to go to his show in Nashville, Tennessee last night.
Journey’s rep Scoop Marketing confirmed to TMZ that Michaele was not kidnapped and she and the rocker are still in Memphis together.
Michaele, who has dated Schon in the past, described their relationship as both “intimate and passionate.”
