Calvin Klein, 81, steps out with model boyfriend Kevin Baker, 35, after gym date in Los Angeles
Who says money can't buy you love? As David Geffen recently celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary in the arms of a porn actor (above), the Daily Mail informs me that another A-gay is also in a serious relationship with a guy who is no stranger to pulling it out on camera:
The British rag reports:
Calvin Klein was spotted out with boyfriend Kevin Baker in Los Angeles.
The 81-year-old designer and his model beau, 35, both wore long-sleeved black shirts as they left Gold's Gym.
The longtime fashion icon added black sweatpants and tied a sweatshirt around his waist.
His short gray hair was spikey and neatly cut above his ears and his face was clean-shaven.
Calvin wore a pair of square-shaped black sunglasses and carried a tall bottled drink as he walked in a pair of black and white Nike sneakers.
Kevin is a model and actor, who -- according to NewNowNext.com -- hails from Spokane, Wash. His IMDB lists one acting credit -- a role in the 2012 short called "The Long Distance Operator."
For his part, Kevin was dressed in a pair of brown joggers and he added classic black-and-white Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers.
He carried a black exercise cushion as well as a bottled beverage in one hand.
Like his longtime companion, his face was also shaved clean and his dark hair was styled with a deep side part.
The men have been dating since at least 2016, when they made their first official public appearance together at the American Ballet Theatre 2016 Fall Gala. Kevin was also by the designer's side at the 2016 U.S. Open.
Prior to that they had been spotted together in March 2016 at the Mint Luxury Conference in Mumbai, India.
They were then seen leaving the Broadway Opening Night Performance of "American Psycho" in New York City on April 21, 2016.
After that, they sat together at the 2016 Future of Fashion Runway Show on May 5, 2016.
Throughout 2017, they were spotted on a number of lavish vacations together -- including a trip to the Caribbean island St. Barts, where photographers caught them soaking up the sun on the beach, and a getaway to the Hamptons in New York, where they were pictured getting off a helicopter ride together.
The two do their best to keep their romance out of the spotlight -- they have never spoke publicly about their relationship and Kevin doesn't use any social media.
Throughout much of 2021, they were seen grabbing lunch and dinner together throughout Los Angeles and Hollywood, with their most recent outing proving that they're still going strong.

And back in 2017, QueerClick wrote that Kevin performed as a webcammer under the pseudonym “Jacob Johnson.” (One of his jerkoff sessions was memorialized HERE.)
And apparently his twin brother, Joel, did the same as “Joel Jacobson.” Read HERE.

Before Kevin, Calvin dated a former porn star named Nick Gruber from 2010 to 2012. Nick, who grew up in the foster system in Florida while his mother served time in prison, reportedly met Calvin through mutual friends.
According to the New York Post, Calvin became enamored with Nick after coming across a photo of him that he said "looked like a younger version of himself." (Or was it a photo of Aaron Skyline?)
The outlet reported that the two -- who had a 46-year age gap -- first started their relationship by "sexting," before they eventually met in person after Calvin sent Nick a private jet to fly him from Kansas -- where he was living at the time -- to the Hamptons.
"For my part, I really had no idea who [Calvin] was. Although I guess I didn’t realize it at the time, I grew up pretty poor," Nick recalled in his memoir, which was never released but the Post obtained a copy of the book's proposal.
"I wasn’t wearing designer labels unless they could be found on the racks of Walmart and even then I was hardly paying attention to the name inside my underwear."
In the Hamptons, Nick said Calvin introduced him to his friends, which was a "big deal."

He continued: "I later found out that this was a big deal for Calvin. He had never introduced a guy to any of his friends before.
"Right from the very start Calvin was treating me as if I were his boyfriend. He was happy to show me off in public and I felt like a boyfriend too. It was a new feeling for me! I knew my life was about to change forever."
The two began living in New York City together, with Nick moving into Calvin's $20 million penthouse on Greenwich Street in Manhattan.
"In a scene straight out of 'Pygmalion,' Calvin goes to work transforming his love interest," Nick's book proposal read, according to the Post.
"Nick gets new clothes, a new hairstyle and teeth. There were meetings with a steroid doctor to help him keep his lean and pumped look. His skin was resurfaced and he even gets speech therapy to upgrade his speaking style."
According to the outlet, Calvin helped Nick get a job at a restaurant, introduced him to a modeling agent, and even proposed marriage during their relationship.
When Nick turned 21 in January 2011, Calvin threw him a star-studded birthday bash attended by numerous A-list celebrities including Anna Wintour, Vera Wang, and Alec Baldwin.
However, the Post claimed that things started to turn sour between them after Calvin started to disapprove of Nick's partying lifestyle and cut off his $10,000-a-month allowance.
The romance officially fizzled out in April 2012, when Nick got arrested for assault and cocaine possession.
Afterward, the model was checked into to an Arizona rehabilitation center. Rumors circulated at the time that Calvin was paying for the rehab, and had flown him there via private jet.
"Calvin feels very protective over him. Despite all that has happened, and everything he’s done, he still loves Nick," a source told Page Six at the time.
After their breakup, it was announced that Nick was working on a book titled "Obsession: My Life With Calvin Klein," where he reportedly planned on sharing intimate details on their two-year romance.
His new boyfriend at the time told the Post, "Nick has more of Calvin’s secrets than the NSA. Calvin took back everything he ever gave him [including a $250,000 Bentley], and Nick was pissed."
Nick later decided not to release the tell-all memoir, however, he did speak candidly about his relationship with the fashion mogul in a series of interviews after it was over, and he claimed that Calvin once made him take a lie-detector test after he suspected Nick was cheating on him.
Recalling the incident, he told Page Six: "I passed it. And then, you know, things were much better. But I mean, what kind of partner would make you take a lie-detector test? I was like, 'Did you ever cheat on me, Calvin?' I never cheated on him."
He also opened up about being "the first man" that Calvin fell in love with.
"I was the first man [Calvin] fell in love with. I don't know why, but there's, like, something about me that attracts everyone," he said. "I have a nickname called Romeo. I get every girl, and even guys. Something about me draws them all in."
Despite being in an "exclusive" relationship with Calvin for more than two years, Nick told the outlet that he was "straight." He also told New York Magazine in a later interview, "I’m not gay, but I don’t believe in labels, I believe in love."
Isn't it romantic?
