Overview
- In a new Variety interview published October 16, von Furstenberg said questions about being married to a gay man are misplaced, insisting it "doesn't change anything."
- She said she encouraged Diller to write his memoir Who Knew and record the Audible version, framing the project as a story of his life rather than a declaration of sexuality.
- Von Furstenberg noted Diller confided in her about his sexuality roughly 50 years ago and that she was his only confidant until the book.
- Their relationship spans more than five decades and they married in 2001, while von Furstenberg previously wed Prince Egon von Fürstenberg, who later identified as bisexual.
- Diller publicly disclosed his attraction to men in May 2025 in a New York Magazine essay tied to his memoir, saying fear of others’ reactions delayed a public statement.
