HOT OFF THE PRESS

Last week I reported here that a certain former boy band member, who publicly remains in the closet even though his sexuality has never been a big secret in the industry, is dating openly gay Amazing Race 4 co-winner Reichen Lehmkuhl. The two have been spotted out and about in Los Angeles and reportedly spent romantic weekends together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and – more recently – in Nashville. I didn’t identify the ex-pop star – but Lehmkuhl posted a message on his own website (it has since been deleted) that read: “As for the rumors about me and Lance … things that I do not discuss anymore, such as the private and personal relationships that I have, are just that – private – unless I choose to open up with details to my family and close friends for reasons of support and love … There would be no benefit in my disclosing that part of my life. I guess I learned that a couple years ago. I wish people could allow that part of me for, well, just me and who I choose to share my life with and love...and to leave it well enough alone.” Figured it out yet?
