Fellow celebrities Anne Curtis, Solenn Heussaff and Wil Dasovich also gushed over the “launch” of Raymond’s relationship.

This is the first time Raymond introduced William to the public. He first revealed he is in a relationship when he appeared on Dasovich’s “Superhuman” podcast earlier this month, though he did not give further details about his boyfriend then.
The TV host came out as a gay in August last year. He recently opened up on his struggles with his sexuality and recalled the “taunts” he received from “bullies” when he had not come out yet. Despite these encounters, he considers himself “lucky” to have come out as gay at a time when the public is more “accepting” of those in the LGBTQ+ community. /ra
