Who is RuPaul’s husband, Georges LeBar? The low-key artist hails from Perth, Australia, met the Drag Race host on his 21st birthday, and loves spending time on his family’s ranch in Wyoming
- The Drag Race host and his husband have been in an open relationship for 3 decades – but it was Donald Trump’s election as US president that convinced them to tie the knot in 2017
- LeBar’s oil paintings include portraits of his glamorous husband – who has called Wyoming ‘the most isolated place on Earth’ and likes to show up on the ranch in ‘fabulous Westernwear’
LeBar has always seemingly been content with letting his husband take centre stage while avoiding the spotlight himself; LeBar has no public social media accounts and is rarely photographed.
Speaking to BuzzFeed in June 2015, RuPaul shared how LeBar’s humour and kindness won him over. “I remember praying, ‘I want a sweet, sensitive man,’ and I got an Australian who’s just lovely,” he added.
Here’s everything we know about Georges LeBar.
RuPaul met his husband at a New York nightclub
The first time LeBar, 51, and RuPaul, 63, crossed paths was in 1994, on the night of LeBar’s 21st birthday. The venue was Limelight, a legendary NYC nightclub that has since closed its doors. RuPaul recounted to ET in March 2017, “He was dancing like a crazed person. I went over and said, ‘What are you doing?’ You know, and that was that.”
The difference in their heights – according to People, LeBar is an extremely tall 200cm (6ft 7) to RuPaul’s tall 193cm tall (6ft 4) – added an extra dimension to their physical attraction. “Can I put my arms around you?” RuPaul says he asked LeBar on meeting him, per a November 2019 interview with PinkNews. “Because I’m tall, I’ve never been able to put my arms around someone’s shoulders who was taller than me.”
