Anderson Cooper is a single man. The CNN anchor and his boyfriend, Benjamin Maisani, have called it quits after nine years together.
“Benjamin and I separated as boyfriends some time ago,” Cooper, 50, said in a statement to Us on Thursday, March 15. “We are still family to each other, and love each other very much. We remain the best of friends, and will continue to share much of our lives together.”
The best of friends, indeed. The journalist and the 45-year-old nightclub owner, who were first linked in 2009, attended a benefit for the Windward School in New York City on Saturday, March 10, and were spotted together again at their home in the Big Apple’s Greenwich Village neighborhood three days later.
The news comes amid rumors that Cooper has already moved on and begun dating a 33-year-old doctor named Victor Lopez. The Daily Mail reported that the pair were first seen together at a hotel in Dallas in December and have since traveled to cities including New Orleans and Boston. Lopez has reportedly shared a series of photos with the TV host on his Instagram account, which is now private.
Cooper came out as gay in July 2012 after giving his friend Andrew Sullivan permission to publish an email that said, in part: “It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something – something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true.”
The Anderson Cooper 360° anchor continued at the time, “The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.”

Gag. Oh, for the sane old days when they were in the closet, and we were fine with that.
Cooper gets demoted and pervert leaves him. Oh so sorry. Not.
Well, it’s “physically”, or perhaps more accurately, “mechanically” compatible ... so let’s try to be objective.
I hear they have matching pubic hearts.
faggots are mentally ill. You can look at the emaciated cooper and know he is about finished. Shock treatments were successfully used for decades to treat homosexuality which is an “abomination” to God as set forth in the book of Leviticus.
Children are watching!!
OK, so you won the Internet for this week. Would have been for the whole month if we weren't on a closed forum.
Someone get caught hanging out in rest stops?
Lemmiwinks, make haste !

I need to take that back. Reading down I see this whole thread won.
Functional equivalent of Don Jr & Vanessa?
I preferred the days when too much stigma was attached to homosexuality for them to mention it in public.
Perhaps, in hindsight, even that stance was too liberal. I think I finally understand why throwing homosexuals in jail made sense - if they are not kept on the defensive, they will eventually make a move for your children.
He has always been single as he has never been married (that means to a woman).
He has never been a man, only a male human.
After nine years of a typical super open homosexual relationship
It’s the very nature of homosexuality
Many fecal orifices to be sated
So little time
Thank you! I laughed so hard my sides now hurt!
I think I’m going to throw up.
The Dutch follow these homo relationships have reported they don’t last as long as normal folks.
Ben is probably still livid about Anderson in New Orleans, talking with people about the pistol that he carried while down there.
Yes. Don’t forget that. Anderson Cooper showed off his pistol on camera in New Orleans post Katrina. We may want to point out how racist that actually was.
Don't understand why FReepers always have to post pics of homos on every homosexual related thread.
Boom?
