Oprah's Man Comes Out

7/10/2007 10:25 AM ET | Filed under: Gay Gay Gay • Yummy Yummy Screw • Oprah Winfrey

Your first look!

Oprah Winfrey's design guru, Nate Berkus, is on the cover of the new, August issue of Out magazine.

It's pretty noteworthy because it's Berkus' first (or one of his first) gay media interviews, if you don't count his interview with Oprah. We kid. We kid.

He sure does look purty on the cover.

Give them your Zoolander, girl!

he's been out for a while. His boyfriend was killed in the tsunami a few years ago and he did interviews about it.

Nate is great - he did a lot to raise awareness for the asian tsunami (he was caught in it in thailand). I love him!

mr logic, good point. I don't care if people are gay! It's not gossip man.

It is not like he was in the "closest". After the Tsunami he did a series of shows about the loss of his lover.

13

too bad hes gay…all the good ones are!!

however, he has been very open about his sexuality before. his partner died when they were on vacation in asia when the tsunami hit. he has talked about a few times on oprah, so this really is no big surprise at all.
The Lavatory Lady says – reply to this

14

Is this new? Didn't get on the show and talk about how his "partner" was swept away by the tsunami?
Old news, but he is quite hot.

I love that Nate!!!!!!!!! I want to paint him. Go here- www.Gogetart.com. - and create a legacy of your fave painting for everyone to see
Jessica says – reply to this

24

Perez,
Quit using your site as a platform for gay rights and everything else gay. Your headline says… "Celebrity Juice". No one gives a shit about your thoughts on gay people and who the next person is to come out. If that's what we wanted to read we would read the damn OUT magazine.
Brownbear says – reply to this

25

He's been out for ages, where have you been? His man died in the Tsunami a couple of years ago
Brownbear says – reply to this

26

You should put the comments in ascending order, just a suggestion

sbt says – reply to this

30

Wait a minute! Didn't he come out YEARS ago?? He was the guy whose boyfriend got killed in the tsunami in 2004, right? So why the "big" announcement now? Maybe I'm mixing him up with someone; anyone who can sort this out should post.
Josette says – reply to this

31

His bedding at Linens n' Things sucks. Duvet and sheets tore at the seems in weeks! Give me my money back, Nate Berkus!

privacyboy says – reply to this

33

Dear (fuckin) perez
you're nothing when compared to a real socialite gay people or celebrity..its like some old queer attention seeker who wanna be someone but never can be so start bitchin to everyone that he wanted to be…disgusting

Get a life
wanda says – reply to this

34

well it took him damn well long enough. anyone who watches oprah prob already picked up on his undercover gay speech. like when he says "partner" we dont know what he means. His boyfriend was killed in the tsunami, but he never just said "my boyfriend" died like most of us would do.
maggie says – reply to this

35

He has been out for a long time! This was no secret. I have to admit I'm kinda disappointed that he's gay…..he's so yummy looking….love his eyes! I like the fact that he doesn't act gay (you know men acting girly).
fashionstar says – reply to this

36

Yeah perez he's been out for like 2 years, but he is so freaking cute I totally have a crush on him even though I'd never have a chance in hell. He's a gilf.

Kathleen says – reply to this

43

did you know his partner died in the tsunami in 2004?
doggiemom says – reply to this

44

Nate has been out for quite a while and has never pretended not to be. His partner was killed in the tsunami a few years back. This is really not news at all, Perez.
dragon says – reply to this

45

he is unbelievably hot!
Sia says – reply to this

46

Uh, he kinda came out during Oprah's Sunami special talking about his boyfriend who was killed.
KRock says – reply to this

47

Wasn't he on Oprah talking about his wife last year?
Veronica says – reply to this

48

It's not news that he's gay……he's never been in the closet, he just doesn't feel the need to discuss it incessantly because his sexuality is only one part of him, the way it is for most human beings on the planet. Gay or straight, he is one fine man!
Yumm says – reply to this

49

^^He never talked about having a wife cause he was always out. It was so sad when his BF died!!! They still never found the body! Had to be the worst thing ever.
KD says – reply to this

50

Hottie!
Cazza says – reply to this

51

kwh says – reply to this

52

jasmin says – reply to this

53

He sorta looks like the guy off of men in trees in this shot… thats who i thought it was at first!!!

and yea hes been out for a while for those who cant believe a designer is gay….
Jenna says – reply to this

54

um, duh? Nate did an entire Oprah special on the Tsunami and a classroom even sent him pictures to feel better about losing his partner (who I think was a latino photographer). How did anyone NOT know he was gay? Plus he's an interior designer… that's your first tip off right there!
LemonHaranguePie says – reply to this

55

He went on Oprah and very candidly discussed losing his partner in a tsunami.
In your never ending zeal to out people you seem to have fallen asleep at the wheel. Nate's sexuality is OLD news. Nothing worse than OLD news for a celebrity blogger. Wake up, Perez. I guess Gummi Bear's body slam wracked you good, huh?
JustJak says – reply to this

56

NOW NOW Perez…no need to be afraid of that big dyke Oprah.
Shannon says – reply to this

Nate has never been in the closet on Oprah. He did several interviews with her about grieving after his boyfriend was killed, both on her show and in her magazine.
Sandra6936 says – reply to this

64

He is the perfect gay boyfriend for any girl… He's cute, stylish, and doesn't talk with a lisp.
Ms. Anonymous says – reply to this

65

He looks super hot on this cover!!! But I thought it was a known fact that he was gay! Didn't his boyfriend die in the tsunami a couple years back?!
Jay Jay Jordan says – reply to this

madam pince says – reply to this

67

Nate has always been out, talks about his late partner Fernando (who died in the 2004 tsunami) often and dedicated his book to him. But I always love seeing him in the press.

hippie says – reply to this

And this is news….no surprise here!
Angie Myma says – reply to this

71

even my blind grandmother knows that Nate is gay. I don't think there was ever any question. He did talk openly about his lover who was killed during the Southeast Asian tsunami tragedy. anyhoo… he's hot and I'm glad he's out from under Oprah's oppressive hoofs! (and, of course, I kid, too.)
Uptown James says – reply to this

72

He has a nice look; great hairy arms and legs, too.
Amy says – reply to this

73

That's not true. Nate openly discussed how his boyfriend was killed in the Tsunami in Thailand YEARS ago….He's been "out" for a while. Who cares???
ninette says – reply to this

74

Does anyone know if this magazine is for sale in Europe or if they have a website?
qwerty says – reply to this

75

Go Nate! He is so talented and inspiring regardless of his sexual orientation. It's tragic that his boyfriend died in the tsunami but I respect him for being able to talk about it to the media.
Jessica says – reply to this

You are one hottie, adorable, and a hunk of a man, who cares what your sexual preference is, you are delicious~~
