Diane von Fürstenberg Celebrates 50 Years With Barry Diller, Reaffirms Their Marriage After His Coming-Out

Von Fürstenberg presents his May disclosure as one chapter in a life together that continues unchanged.

Overview

  • The designer marked the anniversary with an Instagram slideshow of throwbacks and a caption calling their first day together the “BIG BANG” and a journey of “UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.”
  • Photos included a motorcycle shot, red-carpet moments at the Met Gala, and candid images from their decades together.
  • Diller publicly came out as gay in May in a memoir and New York magazine essay, describing his love for von Fürstenberg as “cosmic” and not in conflict with being attracted to men.
  • In recent interviews, von Fürstenberg said she encouraged him to publish the book and Audible edition and argued the story is about his life rather than a redefinition of their marriage.
  • Celebrities including Andy Cohen, Amy Schumer, Rita Wilson, and Lauren Sánchez praised the anniversary post, as coverage noted the couple have been married since 2001.
