These LGBTQ Couples Prove True Love Knows No Boundaries

Tom Ford and Richard Buckley – Together from 1986 to 2021

The moment Tom Ford saw Richard Buckley across a crowded elevator, he knew. No joke—he’s said it was love at first sight. That was 1986. Within a month, they’d moved in together, launching a romance that would last 35 years. Buckley, a sharp, soft-spoken fashion journalist, brought calm to Tom’s high-octane world of runways and design.

In 2012, they welcomed a son, Alexander, and tied the knot two years later. They shared homes across continents, raised a family, and stayed madly in love through every chapter. When Buckley passed in 2021, Tom described him not as a partner but as his soul. And that says everything.
