Tim Gunn, the former judge of Project Runway, has revealed that he has been celibate for 43 years following a shocking betrayal by a former partner. Speaking on the Dear Chelsea podcast on 19 February, the 72-year-old fashion consultant recounted a serious nine-year relationship in Washington, DC, that ended abruptly due to his partner's infidelity. The revelation provides insight into the personal reasons behind Gunn's decades-long celibacy and has captured the attention of fans worldwide.

Gunn described the end of the relationship as emotionally devastating. The former couple were in bed watching the television show MASH* when his partner told him that they had 'no patience for [him] any longer' and asked him to leave. The ex-partner, who was also Gunn's co-worker, admitted to having been intimate with numerous other people while Gunn had remained faithful.
