Bombshell
Call this "Robert's Significant Other, Part II- The Truth is Revealed!"
Hold on to your hats, Joy fans! My good friend and fellow Joy-phile Perimortem girl uncovered some news that has us both completely floored.
Turns out our boy is gay. Or perhaps bisexual, given his history.
Yes, it true and not just some nasty gossip. As some of you may know, Robert has been appearing in "The Tempest" with is daughter in a small theater in Canada. One of the articles she recently came across mentioned that Ruby is his only child from his marriage to Mary, they had since divorced and he "has been with composer Henry Krieger since 1995." No s**t - 16 years!!!
Henry Krieger is a Broadway composer best known for Dreamgirls. If you look up images of Mr.Krieger you will see several with his partner, "Bobby" Joy, on opening night.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, after thinking of him as a straight man for so long. Of course, this news does nothing to diminish his hotness as far as I'm concerned, but I must say it has changed my perspective given that he plays for the other team. I'm just amazed that he has been able to keep it under wraps for so long. I've read dozens of bios and interviews over the years and none of them ever mentioned a partner, much less a male one. I think his recent theater activity has perhaps made him comfortable enough to be open about it, since this tidbit has mainly been included in recent articles.
Anyway, as much as a surprise this was, I am happy that Robert has found happiness with someone. Best wishes from a true fan.
