Isaac and his beau exchanged vows and rings before a justice of Peace in City Hall in New York. They chose this hassle-free method of marriage as they were overwhelmed by the wedding preparation. He stated following their intimate wedding:

"People have ideas. You have to have a series of parties. Vera Wang has to be called, that lady who makes the wedding cakes .... Sylvia Weinstock-like, start now!' So, we were terrified and we decided to just elope to City Hall."

Though the nuptials happened in November, people only became aware of his relationship status when he appeared on The Wendy Williams Show in January. Check the video below, where he shows his ring to Wendy Williams.

Despite the revelation, Isaac and his spouse have kept a low profile. They do not share details of their romantic life on social media. Not to mention, Isaac's beloved husband has his Instagram on private mode. Furthermore, there are no affair rumors or news of the couple's separation. In addition to that, they also do not share any children.

Past Affairs

In his memoir, Isaac confesses he had several romantic partners before meeting his soulmate, his current partner Arnold Germer. However, those affairs remained mainly out of media attention.

His one well-known relationship was with APA Marketing and Communications Chief Manfred Westphal. They dated in the nineties and were together for two years.

Coming out Story

Isaac, from childhood, was a creative, effeminate little boy who loved sewing, painting and playing with barbie. He always knew he wanted to be in a man's arms rather than a woman's. He even lost his virginity to a man.

Though he knew what he wanted, he kept his true self hidden as his family was conservative. Denying his true sexuality and hiding took a toll on his health, so he saw many therapists, astrologers, shrinks, etc.

However, things began to change for him when he moved to New York City, where there was a more liberating environment. He started working on his design and made a living off it. Furthermore, with fame and money, he began exploring his sexuality to the fullest. He came out as gay in 1982 and began living as an openly gay man only after his father died.

Golden Globe Controversy

Isaac was an interviewer for The Red Carpet Show on E! for the Golden Globes in 2006. His behavior with some of the female actresses was heavily criticized.

He felt Scarlett Johansson's breast on the red carpet, looked down on Teri Hatcher's dress, and asked celebrities whether they were wearing underwear. Those actions of him were deemed inappropriate by many.
