LONDON - A clinic worker has claimed that he had an affair with late pop legend Michael Jackson and lost his “soulmate” when the singer died.

Jason Pfeiffer, who works for Jackson’s dermatologist Arnold Klein, said he and Jackson shared a short romantic relationship that ended in tragedy. The 35-year-old executive claimed he first got to know the Jacko over the phone, reported thesun.co.uk.

He said that the 50-year-old singer asked him for a lift home one night and that led to further secret meetings.

“I guess our first ‘date’ was in my car. We went for a drive and were talking and having fun. We had to make sure we were not caught, and although the date was short as I had to take him home before anyone noticed, we had a great time,” said Pfeiffer.

But the relationship was cut short when Jackson died June 25 in Los Angeles following a suspected cardiac arrest.

“I’ve lost my soulmate. It’s very hard to describe the loss I feel, but there is something that’s empty in my heart,” said Pfeiffer.

He also claimed that he was in regular contact with Jackson through to his final days and that the star began acting strangely two weeks before his sudden death.

“He completely changed in the final two weeks. He was overly religious, overly dramatic, exhausting and exhausted. He was saying goodbyes the week before passing. Everyone was creeped out by it,” he said.
