Cuban singer and actor Eduardo Antonio opened up about his sexuality this week during an appearance on the Mexican morning show Sale el Sol.
The 44-year-old came out publicly last year while quarantining with his boyfriend, Roy García.
In December, he shared a photo of himself and García along with the caption, “Together we go to everything because that is our love, I love you.”
Speaking to Sale el Sol, Antonio reflected on some of his past relationships with both women and men prior to meeting García.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I fell in love with a girl but at the same time I also fell in love with a boy,” he recalled. “I had girlfriend, I got married, but in the interim I also had relationships with men, although I did not say it publicly.”
He continued, “I did not acknowledge it publicly, but my friends, the people who were close to me, knew.”
While he was briefly married to a woman, Antonio said he considered himself bisexual; however, he no longer identifies that way today.
“At that time, I was bisexual,” he explained. “There were times when I had relationships with men. I’ve also had relationships where I was fully with a woman without being with a man.”
Antonio now identifies as gay and says he plans to marry García sometime in the next few months.
“We’ve been in a relationship for more than a year, and it goes without saying that we feel very happy.”
In addition to recording six albums and touring all over Latin America, Antonio appeared in the critically-acclaimed film Before Night Falls about the gay Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas and has been featured on several TV shows in Mexico.

The lead picture made me think he has held up good to be 44 y/o but once I saw the video I realized how wrong I was. Sorry, Surgery is no way to age gracefully.

My thought exactly. Or at least get a better plastic surgeon.

Oh look. Didn’t have to guess who the asshat was who wrote about one of his favorite dead horse subjects: straight men who are exploring gay sex. Graham, get over it, your obsessiveness on this topic is creepy as phuck.

The actual article is more about someone dealing with their internal and external conflicts and maybe contending with fluidity/contradictions in the romantic, sexual, emotional investment, commitment spectrum. Though yes, the headline does reflect a typical obsession for Graham. It is time to stop using male-male homo behaviors as sensationalism, especially when it’s filtered through hetero dynamics. I think a lot of these people and sites who do that don’t even realize how homophobic it is. They just want the clicks/attention, or they get off on closeted/“straight”/hetero-married men indulging same-sex behaviors. I suppose it is what it is.

Eduardo Antonio is a human being. Treat him as such, whether you like his looks or not.

Eduardo is the ‘Q’ and I’ of LGBTQI and a total hot mess.

It looks like a very, very bad Halloween costume! What was it thinking…and what was the surgeon thinking? I’d hate to wake up to THAT every morning. If that makes me mean and nasty, so be it…I know I’m not the best looking thing God ever created…but I haven’t tried to “fix” it with botched plastic surgery! LOL
