19 Gay Men Who Were Once Married to Women

14. Peter Allen

The Australian songwriter and entertainer became popular after his songs were picked up by famous recording artists including Elkie Brooks, Melissa Manchester and Olivia Newton-John. Allen was the first husband of Liza Minnelli, but the pair divorced after seven years of marriage. Allen later came out as gay. Both he and his long-term partner, Gregory Connell, died from AIDS-related illnesses, with Allen becoming one of the first well-known Australians to die from AIDS. The musical The Boy from Oz which starred Hugh Jackman, was written about his life. It ran on Broadway and earned Jackman a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical in 2004.
