Gawker.com has outed the boyfriend of
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith.
The site on Friday posted a photo and
short bio of Giovanni “Gio” Graziano, Smith's alleged 26-year-old
boyfriend.
According to Gawker, Graziano worked
under Smith, 49, as a production assistant on the Fox Report with
Shepard Smith. Graziano, a Penn State grad, now produces Fox
Business.
The outing comes a few days after the
site reported other tidbits of Smith's dating life in a separate
post.
While Smith's sexual orientation has
been publicly know for several years – he's a fixture on Out's
annual ranking of most powerful gays in America – he has never
acknowledged publicly that he's gay.
Gawker
reported that the men frequent Bathtub Gin, a speakeasy in
Chelsea.
“[Two] sources say they saw Graziano
and Smith together at the bar on multiple occasions, and that they
appeared to be romantically involved,” the site reported.
