Did out mogul David Geffen marry 30 year old boyfriend Donovan Michaels in Beverly Hills over the weekend? The website Showbiz 411 is reporting the marriage in an exclusive, though there has been no official confirmation.
"The 80 year old billionaire wed his 30-year old boyfriend Donovan Michaels in Beverly Hills, they say. Two couples attended the small ceremony which was held in the shroud of secrecy."
Showbiz 411 writes: "Geffen, a media mogul, is said to be worth $7.7 billion. He's used much of his wealth in enormous acts of philanthropy, endowing museums, arts centers, and hospitals."
"The photo is now making the rounds on Twitter, with one user captioning the image, 'Me and my business associate Benji' (a nod to an iconic line delivered by Leslie Jordan as Beverly Leslie on 'Will & Grace')," reported Str8UpGayPorn.com.
Foster's actual name is Donovan Michaels, and he describes himself as a media personality based out of New York City. During his adult career, he appeared "in three scenes at Randy Blue in 2014 and 2015, first in a solo jerk off video and then as a powertop in two hardcore videos," writes Str8UpGayPorn. Randy Blue's website wrote at the time that Brandon Foster was a "straight hunk" and also a "straight stud".
There has been no official confirmation of the wedding. Nonetheless, Twitter was quick with comments:
If accurate, part of the secrecy may have to do with Michaels' past. In January, Geffen deleted a social media post of himself with Michaels due, it was thought, to the younger man's past as an adult performer. "Why the post was deleted may have something to with the past of the hunk in the photo, who was identified as former Randy Blue gay porn star Brandon Foster," EDGE reported in January.
