November 19












































Ex-NFL Linebacker Jeff Rohrer
Marries Boyfriend Joshua Ross




Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jeff Rohrer, 59, married Joshua Ross, 36, yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles. Rohrer is the first known NFL player (former or present) to marry a man. The couple met in a West Hollywood bar three years ago, in May, 2015. Rohrer had been completely closeted until that time.



For months after they met Rohrer did not reveal to Ross that he had been a former NFL football player. Rohrer, who has been divorced from his wife for a decade, has two teenaged children from that marriage. Ross is the founder of SkinLab, a company that manufactures skin care products, and Rohrer currently produces television commercials. Rohrer is also a master potter, painter and sculptor.



The impending nuptials of Rohrer and Ross were featured in the New York Times this week, and the couple were interviewed on CNN and featured in People magazine. The ceremony took place at the recently restored Wattles mansion in the Hollywood Hills. Built in 1907, the Mission Revival residence was built as the winter home of Nebraska banker Gurdon Wattles, who played a major role in the development of Hollywood in the pre-film era.
