Fashion designer and businesswoman Jenna Lyons was married to her husband, the artist Vincent Mazeau for nine years when she decided to turn a leaf and be in a relationship with Courtney Crangi – the sibling and business partner of jeweler Philip Crangi. Lyons and Crangi started dating in 2011.
Sadly, despite their creative similarities, the two hit the six-year mark before eventually splitting in 2017. In the same year, Lyons stepped down from J. Crew – where she was working as creative director – due to very poor sales. Lyons was 49 and Crangi was 44 when their relationship ended.
Holland Taylor & Sarah Paulson
Just when you thought you have seen everything, here comes a relationship that is definitely one for the books. 42-year old actress Sarah Paulson is in a relationship with the mother of Charlie Sheen’s character in the sitcom Two and a Half Men – 74-year old Holland Taylor.
Though some may raise their eyebrows with this scenario, these two could not care less. Why would their relationship be any different from when a young woman is in a relationship with a man 30 to 40 years her senior? Age is just a number after all, as shown by this couple.
Jane Wagner & Lily Tomlin
Lily Tomlin first burst into the entertainment scene during the 1960s as a stand-up comic. She later won a slew of awards due to her performances on television, film, and Broadway. And for many decades, Tomlin has been a true icon in the LGBTQ community. But it was an event in 1971 that Tomlin best remembers fondly.
She met writer and would-be wife Jane Wagner when Tomlin invited Wagner to collaborate with her on an LP record album titled And That’s The Truth. Since then, the two have been together as a couple, though there were no formal coming-out announcements. They tied the knot in December 2013.
Bethany Meyers & Nico Tortorella
Nico Tortorella, actor and star of the comedy series Younger, is a pansexual married to gay lifestyle and fitness entrepreneur, Bethany Meyers. The two exchanged marital vows this March 2018 in a New York City courthouse while wearing white wedding gowns. Prior to their marriage, the two have been in a relationship for more than a decade.
The couple’s unconventional wedding reflects their similarly non-traditional relationship. The two, despite being married, do not live together. However, they do see each other weekly. They communicate by using FaceTime each day. As far as we are concerned, we say do your thing Beth and Nico!
Anthony Wayne & Kendrell Bowman
Anthony Wayne and Kendrell Bowman always seemed to be a match made in heaven. Wayne is a Broadway star who made his debut in 2011 via the musical Anything Goes. Meanwhile, Bowman’s official title is stylist and creative image consultant to the stars.
When the two joined together, they became a force everyone had to reckon with — in a good way. The two technically engaged in doing work for You Make Me Feel Mighty Real: A Sylvester Concert – a successful off-broadway musical where Wayne served as the star while Bowman was the show’s creative director and costume designer.
