Billionaire Barry Diller shares insights into his complex sexuality and enduring relationship with Diane von Furstenberg in an essay for New York Magazine. Diller notes his numerous male relationships prior to marrying von Furstenberg in 2001, stating he has "only ever been one woman" in his life. He describes their relationship as "complicated" yet natural, acknowledging the public confusion surrounding it. Diller emphasizes that while he struggled with societal reactions regarding his sexuality, his connection with von Furstenberg was fundamentally strong from the moment they met in 1974.
"While there have been a good many men in my life, there has only ever been one woman, and she didn't come into my life until I was 33 years old."
"I have never questioned my sexuality's basic authority over my life (I was only afraid of the reaction of others), and when my romance with Diane began, I never questioned that its biological imperative was as strong in its heterosexuality as its opposite had been."
