Singer Elton John has undoubtedly been one of the most iconic members of the LGBTQ community over the last 50 years. He has been in a long-term relationship with his director husband David Furnish since 1993 – the same year they met. They have been together since then but eventually solidified their relationship when they decided to unite via a civil partnership in 2005.
When England and Wales legalized same-sex marriage, the couple wasted no time tying the knot. They eventually got married on December 21, 2014. Prior to their wedding, their first child was born via surrogate in 2010, while their second son followed three years later.
Lacey Stone & Jessica Clark
British model Jessica Clark has achieved remarkable success in her field, captivating the fashion world with her stunning looks. Beyond her flourishing modeling career, Clark has also delved into hosting, establishing her own vlog titled "Lesbian Love," which can be found on the esteemed website afterellen.com. When Clark's path intertwined with the vivacious fitness professional Lacey Stone, sparks flew, and their connection blossomed into a deep and loving relationship.
In a beautiful ceremony, they exchanged vows and embarked on their journey as a married couple in 2010. However, despite the initial promise of their union, the couple sadly faced challenges and chose to part ways in 2012. Following the separation, Lacey Stone continued to make her mark as a sought-after fitness trainer.
Lance Lepere & Michael Kors
Fashion designer Michael Kors has known Lance Lepere since 1990 as the latter was an intern in Kors’ company. But a business trip to Paris was a game changer as both discovered they had the same tastes – they prefer to play with the idea of Americana, in the fashion sense of the word.
Since then, the two became engaged in 2011 and was later married the same year. The venue for their union was Southampton, New York, specifically on Dune Beach. Kors expressed that marrying someone on a beach while barefoot is more than he could ever dream of. And we totally understand that.
Harley Rodriguez & Jonathan Knight
New Kids On The Block singer, Jonathan Knight, could not help but gush about his boyfriend Harley Rodriguez in a 2016 episode of Jenny McCarthy’s Sirius radio show. Knight described how being in Africa helped him pop the question considering that their parents were there and making it official felt natural.
The two recently set a date for the wedding. The couple had planned to tie the knot this 2018 after being together since 2008. The couple was part of the 26th season of The Amazing Race where they placed ninth in the competition series. It is confirmed that they have been married since 2022.
Octavius & Jamal Terry-Sims
As time and history have shown, the best kind of couple seem to be those who indeed share an interest and passion both can relate with. Another example of such a couple was Octavius and Jamal Terry-Sims. The former is a fashion designer while the latter is a director and choreographer.
Thanks to their shared interests, the two were able to create GROOM – a full service tuxedo lounge specially made for grooms and groomsmen. Besides this project, the two have publicly declared their affection for each other when they were hitched during the 2014 Grammy Awards while the song “Same Love” was being performed by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Madonna. They ended their marriage in 2019.
