Lance Bass' new boyfriend, Sebastian Leal, has a wife. Yep, you read that right. The personal trainer, who has been dating the former boy bander for a few weeks, married a woman nine years ago and failed to get a divorce.
Leal, who is Italian but was born and raised in Brazil, married US citizen Jessica Gannon nine years ago – and never got a divorce. The two separated three years ago, due to what Gannon told us through a rep were "irreconcilable differences." She added, "We continue to love each other. He was, is and always will be my best friend." One pal of Bass and Leal told us the news will be no shock to Bass because "Lance and Sebastian are very open with each other and have no secrets." A rep for Bass, who contacted Leal as well, declined to comment.
So, why didn't the couple get a divorce? We don't know, but we bet because it wasn't as convenient as getting married…

sounds as if he stayed married for green card/citizenship reasons. happens all the time.
Lance is looking cute these days.
What difference does it make? He'll be on to his "new" husband in a week or two…..
Word on the street is that he needed a green card, and never got divorced b/c all that still isn't worked out yet.
I have a friend who moved to the states 11 years ago and he was just awarded his green card about a year ago. Its pretty obvious
why they are still married.
Eh, well, if Lance doesn't care…
Sebastian is adorable!
the media attention isint going to help him in that greencard quest. Besides who can keep up p with Lances bfs? I mean im kindalost. Mad props to lance though. he keeps snaggin all these hotties.
Did i jsut stay mad props?
Bass with another boyfriend? Stereotypical AND real-life queer – a "boyfriend a week." Bass is nothing more than a highly-visible whore.
Is he really Italian? I've known so many South Americans who claim up and down to be Italian, but the most Italian they've ever seen is at an Olive Garden.
You go Lance, the guy is hot and so are you enjoy your life. You are the only one who has to live it
Shaun Industry: Obviously, you're not well-traveled. Ever heard of Argentina? Thought not.
I suspect you don't even have a passport.
My girlfriend's aunt married her gay best friend because he was diagnosed with HIV and she had a great health insurance package from her employer. Years later, he moved to New York and landed a job with benefits, but they FORGOT TO DIVORCE. It proved to be an awkward mess when she tried to get another marriage license with her fiance.
As long as they're happy — and as long as the wifey doesn't mind — it's all fair game.
Who cares if the guy is married? Marriage is utterly useless anyway. That is, except for said tax/health benefits and immigration purposes.
All the power to them both, with plenty of warm wishes in between.
why should we bother with this relation ? has any of them been working ? or doing some good in this world beside their celebrity sale ! themselves.
sad !
it's so brazilian…
hi, nice blog
If you born and raised in Brazil, how can he be Italian… That's stupid. If that apply, almost nobody in Brazil will be brazilian.
If he is son or grandson of an Italian man/woman, he is also Italian. Then he would be Brazilian ,because he was born in Brazil, and Italian, because of his parents. Italy is one of the countries that accept this.
@todd: I agree with you, Lance is looking kinda hot these days, aside from JT he has aged the best of the former N'SYNC'ers, although I read that he is kind of body concious though (can't imagine why though)he's in pretty decent shape, appears to be a likeable kind of guy, even seems to enjoy himself.
