I'm unaware that George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley were ever '2gether' as you describe it. As far as I am aware, they were simply two school friends, and I can't see there's any evidence to support your suggestion.

They were school friends at Bushey Meads School in Hertfordshire (yes I am sad for knowing that but they are the most famous pupils from my school) Andrew Ridgeley now lives in Newquay with Siobhan Fahey(?) the ugly one from Bananarama and supposedly surfs all day.

Cant see that it was about him somehow but hey who cares

No, its not about Andrew. In fact, Andrew was the "straight one" (I know, I know he looked just as gay in that hotpink shirt, but he claims he never played for that team).

The only song I know for certain has any reference to Andrew is "Freedom 90".

There were a bunch of songs around that era that people assumed were about Andrew, because of the breakup of Wham! ("A Different Corner" springs to mind). George has always denied that any of them are about him, though.

It could be any one of several people, probably someone he was seeing that wasn't so in the public eye (keep in mind that most of George's female partners were model types, but not usually all that famous, and he was still hiding the fact he was seeing men from public view. At this point he still thought he was bi).
