CELEBS IN OPEN RELATIONSHIPS

Jay Z is mostly sucking cocks on the down low. I don't think Ms B is clamboxing though.

Lots of gay couples are.

I hate the desperation of open relationships.

What's the point in them? You can't make the man/woman you are with feel special this way and i doubt you feel special when there is this agreement between you and your lover.

Perhaps you can understand that some people are different than you r3?

Some people value monogamy and think it is important. Other people think monogamy is pointless and there is no reason it needs to be the goal of a relationship.

How about every couple have the relationship that works for them?

r2 Yes, they are, but we don't discuss it on DL because it's like putting a match to gasoline.

It depends always, R4. Yes, fine.

However, it is less hypocritical to cover your infidelities from your lover than torturing him/her by exposing your desire for another person to him/her. I tend to believe that mostly a person in a couple is really into an open relationship and the other just has to compromise out of fear of losing their lover.

Elton John and David Furnish have been together for decades. They aren't monogamous.

Dan Savage and Terry Miller have been together for decades. They aren't monogamous.

Like everything else with a relationship, it just depends on the people involved.

Miss Revolta and Kelly Preston. They should have been the first ones on the thread.

R7, maybe polygamy made Elton John to be such a sour grape. He always badmouthing others...

*made Elton John be

[quote] Jay Z is mostly sucking cocks on the down low

And how many tomorrows will it be before he comes out?

Almost all the open relationships I've known in real life consist of one horndog and one doormat who'll put up with anything to hold onto the horndog, including waiting for them to come home from someone else. Then there are a very few where both partners have paid too much into the same mortgage to split up, so they stay together even though both are screwing around.

Among celebrities I assume the more famous partner is the one out fucking around, while the less wealthy and famous one is waiting for them to come home (and fuming). The exception is when the more famous partner is much older, then they may tolerate the less famous one fucking around with people their own age. Although more likely they're not aware of it.

Maybe David Furnish just got tired of fucking Sir Elton's fat arse.

[quote]Among celebrities I assume the more famous partner is the one out fucking around, while the less wealthy and famous one is waiting for them to come home (and fuming)

Yes, that is why Terry Miller(the "less famous partner") is running a sex dungeon. Your attempts to stereotype are just silly. You refuse to believe that two could ever be happy with a non-monogamous relationship. It is astounding to me.

r13 He never wanted for fuck Elton to begin with. All Furnish saw was millions of British pounds dancing in front of his eyes.

[quote]You refuse to believe that two could ever be happy with a non-monogamous relationship.

I don't believe it because I've never actually seen it. I've seen dissatisfied men who still want to have their cake and eat it, too calling themselves partnered while having sex with everyone but each other. Why even be in a relationship if you want to have sex with other people? Meanwhile, back in the real world, it's those who are in monogamous relationships who are the happiest. If you managed to meet a guy who loved you enough to give up all other men to be with you, what's wrong with that? Open relationship advocates have constantly and consistently failed to prove any negatives about monogamy in and of itself. If you need to bring outsiders in to get aroused, then there's more that's wrong with your relationship and you're using sex with others as a means of conflict avoidance, which is unhealthy.

...All of them? It's Hollywood we're talking about here.

[quote] Why even be in a relationship if you want to have sex with other people?

Because you love the other person and want to build a life together? What does that have to do with whether or not someone else ever touches your penis?!

[quote]Open relationship advocates have constantly and consistently failed to prove any negatives about monogamy in and of itself.

There is nothing wrong with monogamy if that is what you want. You sound very defensive.

It's about freedom to make your own choices in life. If two people want monogamy, cool, if they don't, cool. However it sadly is the monogamists who can't see things this way. They are insistent on judging anyone who doesn't share the same values they do. Just like you are doing now.

If that is what you want, nothing.

r16 I've seen it happen in many gay relationships, and it works for them. How, I don't know. I couldn't do it, but they're happy and have been in these open relationships for years. Live and let live. We don't want heterosexuals to judge us based on our sexuality, so........

David and Elton are a gay power couple how dare you all. They have wonderful threesomes with porn stars. They are happy and you are so jealous.

R12 Just described the Affleck-Garner marriage.

I don't see the point in being in a relationship with someone if you are still going to fuck other people. Why not just be single?

For celebrities in "lavender marriages", where both are gay, of course they're both screwing others! If they have no common sexual interests, what else can they do? (Besides open restaurants together, of course.)

I can only hope such couples are good friends, can you imagine what such a marriage would be like, if all you have in common is a desire to appear straight?

If it really works, only the couple really knows, R19. What you saw, or what you think that you saw isn't always close to what it really is.

People who have open relationships are usually exhibitionists. It's a routine for them to act...

Anyone have any first-hand knowledge of celebs in open relationships? Anyone hooked up with a partnered celeb? And names, please.

Larry King is in an open relationship with Beyoncé and Jay Z!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[quote]I don't see the point in being in a relationship with someone if you are still going to fuck other people.

Such an ignorant statement.

I acquired my partner from such an arrangement. Her former partner wanted an open relationship, she started dating so she wouldn't be jealous. We're together 6 years and we're monogamous.

Donnie and Vladimir

There's gossip that Emily Blunt and fugly John Krasinski have an open marriage. She'll probably file for divorce when comes across an actor who will end up on the A list.

Ewan McGregor - How else can a Hollywood marriage last for over 20 years.

Go in peace, R21. You got it right.

When its a straight couple there is always some bullshit going on. Remember Shirley Maclaine going on and on about how great her open marriage was? we now know that the guy was fleecing her out of millions while living in japan with another woman not to mention the clone story. When its hetero there is always a doormat.

Marriage has little meaning in Hollywood. Just as gay and straight has little meaning there. It's a very narcissistic industry and everything is about themselves and their pleasure.

What about Will and Jada?

Yes R14, they can work. From personal experience, open relationships work better when the couple does it together. So they pick up a guy together in a club, or one partner brings a guy home to share with the other. In this situation, it always felt more romantic to me as an experience I shared with my boy instead of having it separately. When he used to call me from somewhere to say he would be hooking up with someone and not to wait up, it would sometimes piss me off, sometimes not.

I do agree that most often one partner is aggressively promiscuous, and one is not.

[quote] From personal experience, open relationships work better when the couple does it together

I've known a couple couples (pun not intended...), that live that way. They only play together, it seems to work well for them.

Jay-z gay? So becky with the good hair is rly a man.

Open marriages work bc one of the partners have a shit load of money, or you have a business-type relationship. Usually, it is the the partner that wants an open relationship that leaves.

Timberlake is so ugly now, who would want him?

R38, I will say I thoroughly enjoyed the open relationship while it lasted. He was my first boyfriend, and we were together a long time. However my second boyfriend wanted monogamy, and it has been an amazing experience as well. So it is really the guy I am with who helps make a monogamy/polygamy relationship work, not the monogamy or polygamy experiences themselves.

They were on that list, r34

Open relationships are for sluts who want to have a steady mate for appearances only.

[quote]Open relationships are for sluts

Well duh, of course the people who enjoy being in open relationships are people who enjoy casual sex. They are the only people who it works for.

But there are a lot of sluts out there, and sluts can fall in love with each other.

Two cheaters who marry each other probably wouldn't have an issue with it either. Both Affleck and Garner cheated on significant others in previous relationships.

Open Relationships and paid beards are quite normal in Hollywood. Marriage is like oil and water to entertainers, their lifestyles are so different from regular people where they don't think about consequences only benefits and publicity.

Angelina doesn't care about Brad cheating when she has spent her entire life in the spotlight complaining about Jon cheating on her mother? Spare me.

Most of those couples aren't together anymore...

R39 Jay Z

As a gay man i find there is a difference/separation between sex and intimacy and that I value emotional fidelity much more than where we put our dicks. None of our female friends get it.

They're business arrangements.

I could never be with someone who can use another human being as a human dildo. And if you can separate sex from intimacy, you have huge issues.

Were Jack Nichoson and Anjelica Huston in open relationship or did she just ignore his promiscuity until eventually he knocked up Rebecca Broussard?

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt supposedly.

R52 bingo

R49, agree that gay men can understand the difference between lust/love. As a young man, I could handle my significant other occasionally stepping out as long as he always came home.

However I find now that I am old, I am not no longer interested in being in an open relationship. Too much uncertainty involved, too often feelings and jealousy can get in the way, and the worry that my boyfriend will fall in love with someone else he sleeps around with.

It may be the harder road to find a guy who wants to be in a closed relationship, but every day it feels more right to me.

Maybe Jennifer Beals and Ken dixon?

R26. That is ridiculous yes. It’s called fuck buddies. It’s not a committed relationship if you are fucking everyone else rather than building a life with someone.

[quote]r29 There's gossip that Emily Blunt and fugly John Krasinski have an open marriage.

Tilda Swinton is, or was, in a polyamorous relationship with two guys.

How much money does Sir Elton burn through to get a porn star to fuck his ugly ass?

Rachel Ray and her very gay husband

Hollywood is fake including most of the marriages.

I think gay couples manage this situation on the most equitable basis , barring any power issues ( one holding all the finachail cards ) . The triad/poly thing is stupid and I have never see this successful on a long term basis.

Straight couples do this when is way more attractive than the other and the other is a doormat. Women shut the door sexually on their men shortly after marriage leaving men to wander, this has happened for eons.

Mo'nique and her husband. All on his part though.

Mo'nique aka " stupid black chick with a chip on her shoulders" deserves what she gets

[quote]Elton John and David Furnish have been together for decades. They aren't monogamous. Dan Savage and Terry Miller have been together for decades. They aren't monogamous

They're not relationships. They're roommates.

Very generally, it’s my OPINION that gay men have the best chance of making an open arrangement work. GENERALLY, men can compartmentalizations sex and love. I don’t know of any hetero open relationships that I’d consider happy, but know a few gay male couples who seem very happy. I don’t know about any lesbians in open relationships so I don’t know.

As long as it’s consenting adults practicing safe sex, I don’t see the problem.

[quote]I don’t know of any hetero open relationships that I’d consider happy, but know a few gay male couples who seem very happy.

I did know of one, and only one. They were an older couple, both artists. One also taught at a college a couple of hours from their home and would spend most of the week there. They were married for close to 40 years before she died...seemed to work for them.

Did I imagine seeing something about Will Smith being outed about a week or two ago? For real outed and not DL speculation.

R67 yep, absolutely. I have never understood this mentality among heterosexual women that sex automatically must equal love and bonding.

R37 Becky with the good hair is Justin Bieber.

Jay Z and Bey but only Jay Z is participating. Same with A Rod.

When they were together Chris Robinson encouraged Kate Hudson to have sex with other women while he watched.

R72 Agreed. J Lo is so odd to me - she seems like the ultimate doormat. Didn’t Affleck fuck around on her too?

R73 And I suspect Goldie has an open relationship with Kurt too. Like mother like daughter.

Open relationship= when your partner fucks around on you but you are too weak to stop them or leave.

It would not surprise me to learn of celeb couples who have open relationships, but also have an agreement that each partner can only sleep with the same sex. I swear I’ve read about at least one couple like this on DL, several years ago, but can’t find the thread.

^ Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel maybe?

Oprah & Stedman might have one after all these years.

Norman Reedus and Diane Kruger. She does everything to promote this relationship, and he fucks anything with legs.

Tommy and Gio

R80 They are the most bizarre couple to begin with. She’s beautiful and he looks like a Hobbit. For the life of me I can’t figure out why she’d be the doormat in this relationship.

R3 You got bored, the sex isn't that good but you hate the thought of being alone. So you want to have a partner and lead a casual fuckaround life at the same time. Ergo, an open relationship.

Also sometimes people are just friends with benefits who like casual sex but it's easier or more useful to be a couple for the society. Those are the happy open relationships but they are not romantic to begin with.

R80 Maybe his balls smell like sauerkraut.

[quote] All Furnish saw was millions of British pounds dancing in front of his eyes.

In the UK they call Elton's fat "stone," not pounds!

How do celebs do fake marriages? Especially when they have kids. Do they borrow kids from other people? Then spend their whole lives pretending those children are their own? That seems outrageous and impossible.

Like, Irina Shayak was obviously Ronaldo's beard and we know he's gay with all his test tube kids or whatever.

But then Bradley Cooper started having his picture taken with her and BANG she had his "kid."

I don't get it.

[quote]You got bored, the sex isn't that good but you hate the thought of being alone. So you want to have a partner and lead a casual fuckaround life at the same time. Ergo, an open relationship.

Unless the boredom is mutual between you and your partner, that sounds more like straight up cheating.

[quote]But then Bradley Cooper started having his picture taken with her and BANG she had his "kid."

Damn, I’d forgotten all about him. Never hear much anymore.

R88 Like me, you must have ignored all the “A Star is Born” threads.

....

Hasn't Tilda Swinton talked about being poly?

R91 Yeah, she’s been very forthcoming about it. I think she and her husband each have a dedicated partner on the side. Works for them.

Some of these aren't open relationships but beard contract marriages.

R93 Such as?

I’m a doormat and my partner’s friends think I’m the horn dog. For more than 20 years, he’s fucked around behind my back. He gets caught because he enjoys throwing it in my face..

I guess I put up with it because I was too afraid to admit how scared I was I’d failed and to be alone. But now, years of his taking his “friends” to the beach (I paid for) on vacations and trotting then out in front of our friends I’ve had enough of his games.

The worst part is people I thought were both our friends clearly aren’t. They cover for him and a pretty obviously fuck buds.

As soon as I can, I’m gone. No goodbyes. Just the divorce decree & bill of sale for the house I paid for.

I’m not getting married again and any relationship will be casual and non-cohabiting.

Good luck to you, doormat, may you be happy and free.

Good for you for moving on, R95. Too many people stay stuck in these arrangements because it’s easier than starting fresh, never mind the toll it takes.

....

It's not for me, but if it works for others, more power to them. I've known several gay male couples where it hasn't always worked out smoothly. One couple in particular, the bossy bottom always got jealous and acted out in very petty passive-aggressive antics so transparent to me, as well as others. You really need to know yourself well before you can committ to an open relationship. If you do sign up for this, you get no compassion from me behaving like a rabid cunt when your partner is following the "rules".

[quote]If you do sign up for this, you get no compassion from me behaving like a rabid cunt when your partner is following the "rules".

You also need to agree on what the rules are in the first place. There’s an ocean of room for misinterpretation.

The way I read it, it sounded like Harold Ramis had an open marriage/arrangement with his wife, but getting Amy Heckerling pregnant screwed things up.

R101 I forgot about that.

How much of this kind of thing is mutual? How much of it is one person okay with it or just putting up with it for the family/public image?

Ricky Martin and his hack artist husband

I heard Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline are/were in an open relationship.

Jesus. This thread is OLD!

It’s not that they’re in open relationships. It’s that they’re in fake relationships. There’s a very famous actor who is considered Hollywood royalty and forever A List, who has an entire family and a lover who is black. He has been with his black girlfriend for years and years, but could not be open about it for several reasons. They have kids, the whole nine yards.

Others are in Lavendar marriages.

Whatever. Hollywood relationships that are public are for image only for the most part. Celebrities with money live lives you all know nothing about, have kids you know nothing about, and have family members you know nothing about.

Had Meghan Markle married Brad Pitt instead of Harry, you would have NEVER heard of her sister Samantha, her crazy dad, or any bullshit about her being a social climber, if Brad Pitt decided that it wasn’t going to be made public.

The most powerful people in the country, work at William Morris Endeavor, CAA, UTA, etc., not the White House. LMAO.

Honestly, most of you know very little to shit about who your favorite celebs are, or what they really do.

LMAO.

Yeah, "open relationships" in Hollywood are basically "you can fuck around just as long as you're discreet and it never gets back to me or anybody I know." Basically like Tony and Carmela Soprano. It's when it reaches the home is when there's trouble.

I was on LSA reading about Bey and Jay. According to them it's an open relationship. Jay has fucked Rihanna and had a threesome involving Kelly. While Bey fucked those twins who toured with her a few years ago.

RDJ and his wife.

Timberlake and his wife...I mean whobelie Wes that?

One of the actors from SPN has talked about it. Said it was his wife's idea and she's even written a book on threesomes.
