GEORGE Michael has reportedly become close again with the love of his life Kenny Goss.
The pop superstar split from the Texan art dealer in 2009 after 13 years and his life quickly spiralled out of control, culminating in a lengthy stint in the world’s most expensive rehab clinic in Switzerland last year.
But friends have told The Sun the pair have now rekindled their friendship, sparking hopes of a romantic reunion.
A close friend revealed: “George and Kenny are back spending time together again and it’s an exciting time for those of us who have been so worried over the last few years.
“There have been some really dark periods for George, especially during the time apart from Kenny.
“When he was with him, there always seemed to be something keeping him on the straight and narrow.
“It was never straightforward but Kenny is the love of his life and is really good for him, so this is very good news.”
Pals believe Michael’s long-awaited music comeback is also more likely if his relationship with Goss lasts.
The friend explained: “There has been a lot of false starts with George’s career over the last few years.
“He keeps on getting close to doing something again, but simply hasn’t been ready. There’s been a lot going on for him.
“But a full-fledged comeback feels much more likely with Kenny back on the scene to keep George happy and balanced.”
Former Wham star Michael, 53, had been dating Australian-born celebrity hair stylist Fadi Fawaz, who he met soon after his split from Goss, 58. They were pictured together in Zurich last September.
Michael and Goss got together in 1996 and broke up in 2009, something the singer — who has sold more than 100 million records — did not confirm for two years.
On the opening night of his Symphonica tour in 2011, he admitted: “In truth Kenny and I haven’t been together for two and a half years.
“I love him very much. This man has brought me a lot of joy and pain.
“My love life has been a lot more turbulent than I’ve ever let on, and I’m so sad about my relationship with Kenny. I’m sorry for any pain.”
He said: “My battles with substances are well documented. My partner has been through his own battle.”
Michael wrote the emotional lyrics to his song Where I Hope You Are about Goss.
He sung: “For so long there’s been no-one else I care about. That my heart could really be so wrong again, well it wears me out.
“I had a picture in my soul, some place warm we could hang out when we’re old. Now it’s just — where I hope you are.”
The Faith singer had previously admitted that if it wasn’t for the support of Goss that suicide might have been a “very strong possibility”.
Despite their split, Goss was by his side when Michael was hospitalised in Vienna for substance abuse in 2011.
Michael has maintained a low public profile in recent years, only communicating with fans through Twitter where he has insisted he is “perfectly fine”.
