Michael Buble's Girlfriend Thought He Was Gay

This chatty Cathy talked so much, his future girlfriend assumed he was gay.

Michael Buble nearly missed making a love connection with Argentine girlfriend Luisana Lopilato - because the singer spent so long chatting to her male pal, she assumed he was gay.

The Canadian crooner met the actress backstage at his concert in Argentina last November and admits it was love at first sight for him - although the South American stunner needed to be convinced he wasn't pining after her male companion.

He tells Britain's The Sun, "I spotted her in the crowd and thought she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever laid eyes on, but she came backstage with this good-looking dude and I assumed it was her boyfriend. The other problem was that I don't speak Spanish and she had no English. But the guy did, so I just spoke to him. I was a bit nervous because of how beautiful she was. The more I drank, the more I made things worse. I was saying to him, 'You're a good-looking dude' and 'You guys are a good-looking couple.' He later found out Lopilato was single, and he rushed to ask her for a date - and the pair has been inseparable ever since."
