Is Marc Jacobs engaged to his boyfriend, Lorenzo Martone? Could the fashion designer, who has, in the past, been known for his tumultuous relationships — notably with Jason Preston — be settling down? Here is the latest according to Women’s Wear Daily and SF Gate’s Daily Dish:
“Fashion designer Marc Jacobs is engaged to his boyfriend of one year, according to reports.
“The 45-year-old designer and ad executive Lorenzo Martone will go public with the news when they arrive in Martone’s native Brazil today wearing rings, according to Women’s Wear Daily.
“Jacobs and Martone will be in Sao Paolo celebrating the designer’s new store, which opened in the city last January.
“Earlier this month, Martone hinted at the impending union to Fashion Week Daily: ‘We experienced a really great vacation in St. Barth’s recently. It was during the winter in December. It was super warm, people were relaxed, tanned, and we were having an amazing time with our friends. So why not? Maybe a New Year’s Eve wedding in St. Barth’s would be really fun.’”
After the success of the Louis Vuitton runway show at Paris Fashion Week, Marc Jacobs, head designer for the fashion house, claimed to be “in love and inspired,” according to Fashion Week Daily. When asked about his influence on Jacobs’ recent collection, Martone stated, “I don’t think I could take credit for Marc’s recent success. But with people who are creative and work in fashion, advertising, and beauty, I think your strong work is reflected when you’re happy in your personal life.”
Congratulations to the happy couple!
UPDATE: US Magazine and other news outlets are also confirming the news of Marc Jacobs’ engagement to Brazilian boyfriend Lorenzo Martone.
