Billionaire Barry Diller and husband to adored designer Diane von Furstenberg has come out as gay.

In a deeply transparent New York Magazine essay titled “The truth about us, after all these years,” Diller writes, “While there have been a good many men in my life, there has only ever been one woman, and she didn’t come into my life until I was 33 years old.”

Diller, 83, married von Furstenberg in 2001 after years of an off-and-on romance that began in 1974. He admits, “I have never questioned my sexuality’s basic authority over my life (I was only afraid of the reaction of others).”

Reflecting on his love for von Furstenberg, he writes, “Plain and simple, it was an explosion of passion that kept up for years,” adding, “It really is the miracle of my life.” Despite being attracted to men, Diller insists, “That was not a conflict with my love for Diane. I can’t explain it to myself or to the world.”

The couple, who never had children together, remain bonded.

“At the end, he got me, and I’m happy he got me,” von Furstenberg previously told Page Six, calling Diller “the pillar of our family.”

Diller, who currently serves as chairman and senior executive at the Expedia Group and at IAC, sees his journey mirrored in younger generations.

“Much more fluid and natural, without all those rigidly defined lanes of the last century.”

As for love, Diane’s camp echoed a sentiment from author Diane Chamberlain: “The secret of honoring love and life is to never lie!”

Furstenberg has not publicly commented on her husband’s confession.
