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.
