This courageous revelation marked a significant moment in his life, allowing him to live more authentically and paving the way for greater openness about his identity.

His announcement was met with support and admiration from fans and the LGBTQ+ community.Now, Lance Bass is happily married to actor and painter Michael Turchin. The couple married in 2014 after three years of dating and became the first same-sex couple to exchange vows on cable TV on the show Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding. The rest, as they say, is history.
