Chaz Bono’s gorgeous partner is no secret anymore and might look familiar to you

“You don’t really lose them. They just are in a different shape,” she said.

As early as 9-years of age, Cher had her first encounter with the gay community.

“One day I came home and there were these two men in my living room with my mom and my aunt,” she recalled

“They were doing their hair and talking, and I was thinking, ‘Why haven’t we ever had these kind of guys around? Because these guys are the coolest. That was my [introduction to] the gay world,” Cher said, adding that “gay people don’t feel like they fit in, and I never felt like I fit in.”

Since the aforesaid documentary aired in 2011, Chaz has appeared several times in Hollywood. The same year as the documentary was released, he actually became the first transgender man to participate in Dancing with the Stars.

It marked the first time a transgender man had starred on a major network television show for something unrelated to being transgender, according to Advocate.com.

Five years later, Chaz starred in five episodes of American Horror Story: Roanoke, and play Reverend Rydale on The Bold and the Beautiful.

At the same time that Chaz has been building his acting career, he’s also gone through quite a weight struggle.

For many years, Chaz suffered from obesity, and simply couldn’t thrive in his body. The turning point towards a healthier lifestyle came when he began his gender transition.
