Lance Bass’ new boyfriend is married to a woman

Lance Bass has finally found love. Well maybe. It’s complicated. And a bit clichéd. It seems he’s fallen for his trainer. There’s cliché number one. And the trainer is married. Cliché number two. To a woman. Cliché two and a half. But it might have just been a green card marriage. Cliché three and a half. I doubt like counting higher than four, so I’m going to stop with the clichés.

Lance has confirmed the rumors that he’s dating trainer Sebastian Leal after he took him to a party. Leal, who is Italian, has been separated from his American wife of nine years for more than three years. And she doesn’t exactly sound bitter about it. Combined with the Lance-loving, this makes it sound like it was perhaps never a traditional marriage in the first place.

Lance Bass has found love with a hot trainer, but there’s a catch – the muscle-bound hunk is married. Bass stepped out with personal trainer and aspiring actor Sebastian Leal at a Malibu party recently, confirming rumors that they’re an item.

But Page Six has learned that Leal, who is Italian but was born and raised in Brazil, married US citizen Jessica Gannon nine years ago – and never got a divorce. The two separated three years ago, due to what Gannon told us through a rep were “irreconcilable differences.” She added, “We continue to love each other. He was, is and always will be my best friend.”

One pal of Bass and Leal told us the news will be no shock to Bass because “Lance and Sebastian are very open with each other and have no secrets.” A rep for Bass, who contacted Leal as well, declined to comment.

Michael K over at Dlisted called Lance, “the gay Sienna Miller” which I think is just about the most apt description I’ve ever heard. Although Michael meant that Lance is a homewrecker. I just think that if Sienna Miller turned into a dude, she would look exactly like Lance Bass. I’m not sure who that’s more offensive to.

It doesn’t sound like any homes have actually been wrecked. Either that marriage was gone a long time ago, or it never really existed in the first place. Or maybe Lance is like the male Ellen DeGeneres and can turn previously straight people gay. That’s a bad take on a 30 Rock joke. But I still think it’d be a really awesome (and unusual) superpower to have.

Here’s Lance at STK restaurant in West Hollywood on May 13th. For some reason that header image really cracks me up. I really don’t know how he keeps getting hot guys with that face. Images thanks to WENN.

    Awwww and I really wanted to shout “home wreckuuuuuuuurrrrrr” 😆

    But one little thing is bothering me – if the trainer was born and raised in Brazil… how is he Italian? Sorry – I’m just being silly as I need to get some work done and I really don’t want to 😆

  2. JayBird says:

    I’m assuming his parents are Italian but moved to Brazil before he was born, but Page Six doesn’t go into it.

  3. Mairead says:

    Mmm possibly – but Mischa Barton isn’t called European, although both her parents are. Either that or he moved there when he was still fairly young. It is quite detailed info though – sounds like someone very close to the source leaked the story 😉

    Hey I’m not to judge if it is right or wrong, but who is to say that the soon to be ex wife doesn’t support her husbands fling with LB.

    More power to these fun loving boys.

    ZOMG HOMEWRECKER

    Now that I got that out of my system, it seems like all parties involved know what’s going down. Carry on. 🙂

    well I´ve decided to come out of the closet! hahaha just kidding…
    but am brazilian, born and raised, and living in Europe!
    Brazil just like the U.S. is a colony! Meaning the “country/republic” didn´t existed prior the EUROPEAN colonization.
    Brazil was a huge mix of cultures and ethnicities from the begining, but through out the 1st and 2nd world war we had a massive wave of italian and german immigration(even asian and arabian followed), which is quite recent…dating back the begining of the 1900´s. Brazil, again like the U.S., was the land of opportunities to many immigrants last century)
    I am myself half-italian, having paternal italian grandparents (that arrived in brazil in the late 20´s). So that granted me (and other thousand of born brazilians), italian/european citizenship! Voilà,mystery solved! 😉

    PUH LEEZE.. and so what?? Do you know how many men sleep with gay men, and then eventually come out. I personally know of 3 guys who left their wives for men. Men grow older and realize what they really want and need and then they have confidence and pride to live their lives how they want.. and they marry men.. I am sure he will be with Lance full time.. just watch.. it is the way of the present and future

  8. daisyfly says:

    Meh. There are a lot of gay men out there who can say that they’re diddling the doody hole with a married man…who’s republican…and a Senator. :mrgreen:

  9. Mairead says:

    This is funny for me to read just now, after I only just finished watching the very good film “la mujer di me hermano,”or in English My Brother’s wife – sorry about the shoddy typing, I’m writing this comment on my BlackBerry cellphone. I am such a Celebitchy junkie! The movie is awesome, I rented it on DVD the other day, I recommend it. In the meantime, go lance & bf!
