Ross Mathews, the former intern at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno who has since become a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race and a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, recently announced his breakup with Salvador Camarena, his boyfriend of 10 years.
On Instagram, Mathews wrote, “After nearly ten years together, Salvador and I have decided that the time has come to part ways. This split is amicable and filled with kindness, compassion and a genuine love for one another. As we go forward, each of us feels as if he has a cheerleader in our corner — a family member for life. We are happy. Thank you all for your well wishes and love.”

On his own Twitter, Camarena — a self-described “stylist, taco lover, design nerd and daddy to three rescue pups” — wrote, “I’m so grateful with the time I’ve spent with [Ross] he’s a wonderful human being!”
How about we take this to the next level?

Instinct reports that Mathews’ public mentions of Camarena had decreased in recent months. Their most recent photo together on Mathews’ Instagram was from September 16 when they attended the GLAAD Awards in San Francisco.
However, Camarena’s Instagram had some clues about their impending split as well.
His November 9 Instagram post showing himself alone in an apartment announced, “New rules.” Another post on his Instagram Stories mentioned himself working on his “revenge body,” a term for a nice physique intended to inspire jealousy in an ex-partner.
While breakups are always sad, it’s at least nice that the two men have parted amicably. So let’s mourn their breakup and celebrate their new lives apart with some shots of them together.

They seemed like such a lovely and loving couple, so it’s sad to hear that they’re breaking up, but it sounds like it’s amicable, at least publicly, which is good. 10 years is a good run, and I hope they both find happiness in what forms it appears.

Fascinating…. I’ve never seen a single story on this queer celebrity couple. And after they break apart, Queerty publishes 20 photos of them together.
Kinda late, kinda lame.

Queerty, way too many pictures of their happy times. Tacky!

YAWN.

I clicked on the story to see who the hell these two were. And, to my surprise, there wasn’t a story……..it was the good old “queer photo facade.” I was always under the impression that we didn’t qualify for the “Nationally Recognized Relationship Obituary” until the relationship lasted 20 years?
