Cougar On The Prowl! Former ‘RHOBH’ Star Adrienne Maloof ‘Playing The Field’ After Jacob Busch Split -- She’s ‘Not Heartbroken At All’

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof is single and ready to mingle!

Following a recent breakup with her much younger boy toy, Anheuser-Busch heir, Jacob Busch, 26, the 53-year-old former Housewife “is going to take some time out for herself and just be single for a change,” a close friend reveals to RadarOnline.com exclusively.

The RHOBH star first met Busch at a party for Robert Shapiro in Beverly Hills, Calif., in Sept. 2013.

“Everyone told her to be careful when she got together with him because of the age difference, but she assured her friends that she was in control,” the source says. “Adrienne thought that she was going to marry Jacob.”

RadarOnline.com was the first to report that things started heading south for the cougar and her cub when Busch was caught sneaking over to Paris Hilton’s house, who is Maloof’s neighbor. “He never goes with Adrienne, and it’s obvious he isn’t going over there to borrow some sugar, or milk,” an insider previously said.

“Her divorce hardened her and she thought she was not going to be able to love again,” the insider tells RadarOnline.com, referring to Maloof’s ex-husband, Paul Nassif, 50, who she divorced a year prior to meeting Busch.

“Now that she knows she is capable of loving again, she is playing the field,” the insider says. “Although Adrienne has a thing for younger men, the next guy she dates will definitely be more age appropriate.”
