The market is hot for bisexual men right now, as polls show more women are willing to date men who also date men.
Attorney Star Jones, 58, made blog headlines in 2004 when she married Al Reynolds, an effeminate man who repeatedly denied rumors that he was involved in same-sex relationships with men. The couple divorced in 2008.
Reynolds, 51, came out as bisexual in a 2017 interview with Radar Online, saying he is “capable of loving both sexes, and I have done both.”
Now Reynolds claims he didn’t intentionally deceive Jones because she knew he was down low when she met him, and later asked for his hand in marriage.
In an interview with podcaster Shawn Allen, Reynolds insisted he was not the first bisexual man Jones dated and that the man she was engaged to before him was also bisexual.
Reflecting the current acceptance of bisexual men, Reynolds told Allen, “Some women like it.”
Jones and Reynolds’ May-December relationship drew comparisons to Terry McMillan (left) and Jonathan Plummer, a bisexual Jamaican who wooed and deceived the author after she met him on a Caribbean vacation.
McMillan, whose best-selling book How Stella Got Her Groove Back was based on her marriage, eventually divorced Plummer who was 22 years her junior. She later sued him for $40 million.
