Gawker: 'What We Know (So Far) About Anderson Cooper's Boyfriend'

[Newsjock]

Source: Gawker

As we mentioned earlier his name is Benjamin Maisani and he is the co-owner of gay bar Eastern Bloc. The 36 year old is smart, he's sweet, and he loves to work out. Sounds like a big gay catch.

Nearly everyone who talks about Maisani—whose real name is Antoine—mentions what a nice guy he is. He and spends a lot of time working out at the Crunch on Lafayette newly-opened David Barton Gym on Astor Place—someone even said "obsessively"—and is frequently spotted spotting Andy himself while doing squats. He likes horror movies, is an amateur photographer, and doesn't go out much, other than the work at his own bar. He broke up with his last boyfriend last winter and started dating Cooper shortly thereafter. We can't pinpoint exactly when, but most people seem to think it was about eight months ago. The gossip is that the couple are planning to buy (or have already bought) a converted firehouse on West 3rd Street together.

3. YUM! CEREAL!!!!

It is weird I don't care about the SO's of celebrity news people either.

ON EDIT: however I am glad to hear he spots Anderson Cooper while doing squats as that can be a dangerous exercise. So he is a role model for gym etiquette and safety.

4. What right do I have to decide someone's sexual orientation? How arrogant

is it to tell someone they are lying or wrong about their sexual orientation. Its like telling someone who isn't straight that they are wrong and are in denial and they are covering up the fact that they are straight.
