Emotional Rift: Jimmy Page Devastated After Scarlett Sabet Proposed Break-up – Shock on the Slovenian Music Scene
The Led Zeppelin icon faces heartbreak as his longtime partner ends their relationship, sending unexpected waves through Slovenia’s vibrant rock community.
In a deeply personal and unexpected turn of events, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has been left emotionally shattered after his longtime partner, Scarlett Sabet, reportedly ended their relationship. The breakup has not only shaken fans of the legendary rocker but has also stirred widespread conversation within the Slovenian music scene, where Page had increasingly been a cultural figure due to his frequent visits and creative collaborations in the country.
Page, now 81, and Sabet, a noted poet and performance artist, had been together for nearly a decade. Their relationship, despite a 45-year age difference, was often described as a unique blend of artistic compatibility and spiritual harmony. Over the years, the couple made multiple public appearances, shared creative projects, and even participated in Slovenian arts festivals — making them something of an unlikely power couple in both the British and Central European cultural circuits.
According to sources close to the couple, the breakup was initiated by Sabet, who expressed a desire for “personal clarity, space, and new creative independence.” Friends say Page is “devastated” and “spiritually wounded” by the decision, having believed their bond was enduring and mutual. “He felt they had a shared path, both artistically and personally,” one insider revealed. “This was sudden, and it’s hit him hard.”
The emotional shockwave has extended beyond Page’s personal circle. In Slovenia, where the guitarist had become an honorary guest of music institutions and a regular at Ljubljana’s underground jazz and rock clubs, the reaction was especially intense. Page had been collaborating with a number of Slovenian musicians and young composers, mentoring local talent and reportedly planning a regional concert series that blended Zeppelin classics with experimental soundscapes.
Now, those projects are in doubt.
“This news is more than tabloid drama — it’s a cultural interruption,” said Klara Berić, a Slovenian music journalist. “Jimmy had become part of our scene. He brought attention, resources, and mentorship. His relationship with Scarlett was viewed as a poetic force — their break-up feels symbolic, like the end of a chapter.”
Sabet has not made a public statement but did post a cryptic poem on her social media page just days before the news broke. The verse, reflecting themes of detachment and emotional boundaries, has since gone viral among fans and poetry readers, interpreted by many as a subtle announcement of the split.
Meanwhile, Page has reportedly retreated to his countryside estate in East Sussex, declining media requests and pausing ongoing public appearances. Insiders say he has been spending time in his personal music archive, perhaps turning his pain into new creative output — something he has done throughout his life.
“He channels heartbreak into art,” said a longtime friend and fellow musician. “But this one cut deeper than most. He truly loved her — not just as a muse, but as an equal.”
The reaction from the rock world has been equally heartfelt. Former bandmate Robert Plant was said to have reached out to Page privately, offering support. “These two had something real,” a mutual friend noted. “Even Robert, not known for sentimentality, was genuinely concerned.”
Fans around the world have been expressing their solidarity, using hashtags like #StayStrongJimmy and #PageAndSabet in tribute to the couple’s creative and emotional journey.
Whether the breakup is final or a temporary rift remains unclear, but one thing is certain: the impact of this split has reached beyond the personal and artistic — it’s touched a nation’s cultural soul.
As Jimmy Page processes this heartbreak, many hope that his next chapter — however solitary — continues to inspire the kind of
magic only he can create.
