EXCLUSIVE: Gasbag Sportscaster Stephen A. Smith 'So In Love With Himself' He 'Disgusts Any Woman He Goes Near'

Gasbag sportscaster Stephen A. Smith claims to have a sweetheart, but sources said his pals believe the egomaniac is so in love with himself that he drives the gals away.

RadarOnline.com can reveal when the 57-year-old motormouth was recently asked on radio's The Howard Stern Show if he has a "special lady," he replied: "There is."

But before giving any more info, he switched back to his favorite subject – himself.

Smith said: "You've got to remember something, guys – I cover sports, that's true. But the industry has evolved to the point where I'm more popular than 95 percent of most of the athletes I cover.

"As a result of that, you're In the news constantly. So, you'll know who that person is when she's Mrs. Stephen A. Smith."

But an insider said Smith "is so full of himself on screen and off, and so self-driven", that it's wrecked relationships and is "turning off" any women he goes near.

Our insider said: "It makes him difficult to be around for friends, who tend to retreat when he gets on his high horse, which is often – and women find him pretty boring."

Colleagues also dubbed him 'Mr. Greedy' last year when the fast taker demanded his salary be bumped to $25million a year – a whopping 50 percent increase.

The First Take analyst has two teenaged daughters from a previous relationship, though it's not clear who the mother is.

"They were engaged but it didn't work out," he has said.

But when asked why, he snarked: "None of your damn business."
