Who do you think spilled the beans..?? ?

I used 3 of my past managers for a reference on a recent job interview. I know that none of these people know my current manager on a personal level or socialize ect.

I however was told today by my current manager that she had to place a call to lets call her Mary ( she knows Mary as Mary use to have her job where I currently work and that it was a business related call....sO)hortly following this comment my manager told me.. "I know you are actively interviewing for a job". I hope you could be honest with me and let know so I can prepare for your departure if you decide to leave....

She also said to me that she was really suprised that I am considering leaving as I do no look like I am unhappy in my current job.....

Do you think that my old boss spilled the beans? If so why would someone sabotage a resignation like this?

Whoever did it has more loyalty to the company than to you.
