TOM FORD AND RICHARD BUCKLEY

American fashion designer and filmmaker Tom Ford met former editor-in-chief of Vogue Hommes International Richard Buckley when he was a shy 25-year-old. Tom reportedly already knew he wanted to call a lawyer and marry him during that one elevator ride.

He recalled that what drew him to Richard was his eyes, which he said were like that of an Alaskan Husky’s. And when they started dating, which was pretty much the day after they met, they spent almost every single night together. The pair have been in a relationship since 1986, and they welcomed a son via a gestational surrogate in September of 2012.
