There’s some good news for single men, but sad news for one of the most photogenic gay couples on the pop culture front. Soccer star Robbie Rogers and TV producer Greg Berlanti are back on the market. The two have reportedly split after approximately 18 months as a couple, reports Perez Hilton. No reason has yet been announced for the breakup, but Hilton’s source confirms the decision to go separate ways was mutual and the men remain on friendly terms.
Hilton’s source noted that “2014 was just such a big year for each of them, that they decided a friendship suited them both better.” Besides producing numerous TV series such as Arrow and The Flash, Berlanti was recently announced as head writer for the upcoming Academy Awards broadcast, while Rogers, who with his team L.A. Galaxy won the MLS Cup on Sunday, has been busy promoting his memoir Coming Out to Play. Rogers is scheduled to appear on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live Monday night so maybe Andy Cohen will shed further light on the uncoupling.
Note to Berlanti and/or Rogers: If either of you need some help mending that broken heart or staying warm this winter, you know where to find us.

“…one of the most photogenic gay couples on the pop culture front.” I guess since there are so few though I wouldn’t define them as a couple, but rather boyfriends perhaps. Perhaps no “reality” show either?

I’m all for love, so I hate myself for this, but………. Let the gay men say amen!!!! Between this and Connor Franta, I’m on a roll today. I was literally just looking at his instagram on Saturday to see if they broke up yet. Like I said, I’m 100% all for love, but I’ve been obsessed with enough celebrity relationships (maybe that’s why I don’t have one of my own) to know who has a chance and who doesn’t so I saw this coming from the beginning. Why is it that even though he’s a young hot athlete, just because he’s gay he’s dating a 40 year who’s already established in hollywood (and life)? I completely get why some guys turn to older men when they first come out, but it’s a farfetched idea to think that relationship is going to last right out the closet.
As a young gay man (whose OCD makes him become obsessed celebrity relationships) I am desperately in need of a famous young gorgeous gay couple to fall in love with. Not semi-celebrities nor semi-good looking. I already have my fill of heteros and David & Neil, are of course my aspiration, but where is my David & Victoria Beckham whom I can love for years to come?!?!
If you’ve some how reached the bottom of my overly long comment and you’re wondering why I care so much about these relationships that have absolutely nothing to do with me, feel free to google OCD and/or relationship OCD.
Now, I will just be patiently waiting for this tile to start with Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black……

LOL’ed @ “reports Perez Hilton.”

No word yet on the reason why they broke up? You’re kidding me right? So, gay men got over their fear of intimacy, and commitment then right? I mean, what? Who was expecting two wildly successful, out of the closet, gay white men who are in the prime of their careers mind you to stay lacked to each other together? You mean because they needed each other’s support? Or because two gay white men found love? Or know what love is? Ooo. Now I’m striking a nerve aren’t I?
Well, my sources tell me (and a good journalist never reveals her sources,) but my sources tell me that the couple umm, mutually released a statement together saying this: “So many one night stands. So little time.” There’s actually still no word yet on why they announced that they were even together… beyond the publicity.

@I’m Black, and HIV-Positive.: “lacked” in the fifth sentence of the first paragraph should be latched above…
Don’t judge me. We all make mistakes. I AM NOT THE ONE ON TRIAL HERE!
(That last part was a joke for all you -bitches- queens who think you’re so smart, but always need the joke to be explained to your late bitch asses anyway. Ta taa.)

well, 20 something atheletes and 40 something writers don’t have much in common- time for the other couple like this to split, too- Robbie would the other young jock would be great together!
dhmonarch89

I sensed this coming months back; good for them for staying on friendly terms.

Robbie actually looks like one of the characters on The Flash; Rick Cosnett who plays Detective Eddie Thawne.

Was their uncoupling conscious, unconscious or subconscious?

Good…. Greg Berlanti looks like a douche.

I figured something was amiss reading the Greg Berlanti feature in last week’s Entertainment Weekly which didn’t mention Robbie at all. Face it – with 3 series on the air and at least 3 other TV series/movies in the works and Robbie with a soccer championship and book tour it was nigh impossible for the two of them to find time for one another. I wish them both the best.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Robbie, it’s about time you came to your senses!
Now get that beautiful butt over to my place right now so we can put up the damm tree!! :p

Who and who have done what?

So many need to stop criticising this break-up, get off of Grindr, and actually go out and meet someone, while you can. You don’t know these men, except what is placed in the PR-driven gossip-mill. The holidays are a great time to meet other guys in person, not on your smartphone. Youth is fleeting. You need to have a back-up plan when gravity and plastic surgery meets, because if we compare these men and look in the mirror and beyond what do you have to offer someone else?
Sod the type you think you are, because it is all drag out of drag. Be nice to each other. We have plenty of adversaries that love watching us tear each other apart, proving in their limited intellect that we are just shallow. Your job doesn’t define you. Your home doesn’t define you. Your clothing doesn’t define you. It is your ability to communicate and courage to actually ask someone out of a date, and not a pick up.
I lived in NYC. Miami, London, and many locations that many would envy, but when you scratch beneath the lovely veneer we are losing ourselves to other’s expectations. Be yourself, and get out there. You might be surprised, but remember that relationships are never easy. Sure the initial attraction is wonderful. Then comes the serious work. It will take you to a level of discomfort because you need to be real about the person you are dating, and even more intimidating, about who you really are beyond the Kiehl’s products and Labels.
I wish both of these men the best in their futures. Now I am going back into my life, and I hope you do the same. Happy Holidays, and Best Wishes for 2015!
