Rumors are circulating that multi-billionaire media mogul, David Geffen, 80, has married male model Donovan Michaels, 30.
Geffen posted a photo of himself with Michael last December. They sat next to each other on a boat. Geffen captioned the photo, “Merry Christmas indeed!” However, the image didn’t stay up long and was deleted within hours.
Yesterday, former Fox News reporter Roger Friedman posted on his Showbiz411 blog that he’d heard the two men tied the knot over the weekend.
How about we take this to the next level?

He claims the small ceremony in Beverly Hills was attended by just two couples. Friedman’s brief story was later reposted to the Drudge Report.
Neither Geffen nor Michaels has made any comment on their social media pages. Geffen’s Instagram is private and Michaels hasn’t posted anything to his Instagram or Twitter in several months. However, that hasn’t stopped people from beginning to talk about it online.
Liza Minnelli has outlived David Geffen’s bachelorhood. The 80-yr-old billionaire mogul has wed male model Donovan Michaels, who is 30.
Queerty has reached out to both men for comment. We’ll update this post if we hear back.
According to Forbes, Geffen is worth $7.7 billion. He founded the record labels Asylum Records, Geffen Records and DGC Records, as well as the film studio DreamWorks. He is just as well known for his philanthropy, donating hundreds of millions to charitable causes and the arts over the decades.

Ah, I remember the good old days, when I was cruising the streets off Robertson and Melrose in West Hollywood back in the70’s, and pass Geffen sitting on the hood of his parked vintage Rolls Royce, waiting to snag his evening entertainment.
Laura Nyro broke his heart into a million little pieces back then. Geffin’s instagram pages are incredible esp if you love sailing the seven seas in sheer luxury. I’m happy for the both of them.
Geffin’s bio and the Documentary on his career are extraordiany. Try to see.
And if you believe this is anything more than an 80 year old looking for sex and companionship and a 30 yer old looking for money and security, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
Who cares? Good for them. They BOTH get exactly what they want. If they find any happiness together, that is all that matters. Your opinion certainly does not matter.
Geffen’s worth $10 billion and counting. Donovan Michaels, also known as ______ (Google it), has his own set of ASSets, from youth and looks and charm to…well, nice tools on the front and back side. Plug and play, as they say, and let the love flow!
If it’s true, David Geffen is no fool, so I’m sure his fortune is earmarked for the charitable causes he has supported over the years. If he’s happy with this “model,” then that’s what matters.
OMG! A true love story, get Hallmark on the line, hopefully it’s a long and happy marriage, oh wait, he’s 80 and is married to someone that is potentially in the age of his great grand son could be. Just imagine Geffen being approached by an 80 yo when he was 30. Hopefully, his husband has plenty of onions on hand for the next big event of his life to bring on those tears as he says his final farewell. Won’t need them when he goes to the reading of the will, they’ll be real tears.
He got married for the first time at 80? Maybe that means there’s hope for me!
One of my favorite stories is when his mom asked him what he does, and he said he manages the careers of Laura Nyro, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, the Eagles, and others. And she said “You?”
Wow. It’s so nice that he finally settled down. That high school football player ex boyfreind of his that stalked him a few years ago must have straightened him out.
I remember hanging out with Geffen many times back around 2000 through mutual friends. Very self absorbed. He always goes the gay for pay types.
IF I had the money Id buy one too. Nice. I do have a bit of a problem with Geffen in that he wasn’t there at the very first like he now says he was in love with Cher remember but I will give him credit for using a shit-ton of his money to help us fight for our rights. I hope they are both very happy – I never root against any out gay couple. Just being out and providing role models is so very important that I do applaud them. I dont want to see every single gay couple adopt. – just enjoy each other
