Drag icon
RuPaul has revealed he is married to his partner of more than two decades –
after a secret wedding in January.
Last week the
first pictures emerged of the ‘Supermodel’ singer and RuPaul’s Drag Race host
with his long-term partner, Georges LeBar.
Mr LeBar, a
Wyoming rancher, had managed to stay out of the public eye for 23 years before
the pair were snapped by paparazzi together.
Most of the
press coverage identified Mr LeBar as RuPaul’s “boyfriend”, but in an
appearance on Hollywood Today this afternoon, RuPaul dropped a bombshell by
revealing they had gotten married in secret earlier this year.
When host and
drag race judge Ross Matthews asked if they had any wedding plans, RuPaul
volunteered: “You know what? I’ve never said this on television before, but we
are married. I’ve never said it before!”
He explained:
“We got married, actually, on our 23rd anniversary. I met him on the dancefloor
at Limelight in 1994 on his birthday, so we got married on his birthday, the anniversary
of when we met, this year in January.
“We wanted to
do it… we were looking into it for tax breaks and financial things.”
Of his husband,
RuPaul explained: “He’s a great guy, he doesn’t care about showbiz at all. He
couldn’t care less. When [the paparazzi] caught us, we were in New York
“Most of the
time he’s on the ranch in Wyoming. He has a 6,000 acre ranch, but when we have
a chance to do anything, we want to go somewhere fabulous like Maui or New York
because… god bless you Wyoming, but it’s very boring and the most isolated
place on Earth.
“When I go
there, I dress up in Western wear but nobody cares! I dress up in the most
gorgeous Western outfits.”
Drag Race
returns later this month – but
not where you might expect it.
