Anderson Cooper Jetting Off For Lovers Escape?
 

More than two years later … and Anderson Cooper is still dating the same guy? Though we've heard rumors about different paramours in between, 27-ish wine importer Julio Cesar Recio was just spotted leaving LAX with a passport-equipped Cooper. Adoreably, they were both dressed in hoodies and tees with jeans and sneakers, aww! (And Recio appears to be holding foreign currency.)

Back in 2006, the pair were photographed within inches of each other. And of course, in his book Dispatches from the Edge, Mr. Cooper thanked "Julio for his support and calm counsel without which this book would not have been possible." [Photo via]

It could be that Anderson and Julio Cesar never broke up in the first place or maybe they're just good friends now, but they do make a handsome couple. Julio is actually in his 30's.

Well, that certainly would explain Andy's rabid support of Obama during the primaries - he's likes that black dick!

I am disappointed to see them together again. Julio is hiddeous, he has a horrible complexion and big ears! If Anderson is gay he could do so much better! I would think he would be attracted to someone classy like Jeff Lewis from "Flipping Out." Julio is street material.

There's nothing wrong with Julio's appearance, he's a good looking guy and not some overly botoxed and collagen phony like Jeff Lewis. AC has good taste in men.

I love Jeff Lewis on his show, but he'd be a total nightmare as a bf, I'm sure.

That pic was taken in January of 2005. They both work at CNN.

They are arriving at LAX to work on Heroes a tribute to celebrities on Saturday night.

Get over it.

R7: How do you know the guy with Anderson and that he works for CNN? Anderson aired from LA on Friday night.

I guess Stupid IS!!!!

cuz the Hero's tribute was taped LAST Saturday. And the above article states "Leaving LAX."

and, enough of the crap about "could do better" and "street material." You guys are so appearance oriented. Let someone like who they like, not who you expect them to like.

There's a photo of Anderson with the same guy at a Diane Von Furstenburg fashion show in September. What were they working on for CNN then? Whatever it was, it's never been aired on AC360.

They need passports for LA?

They don't both work at CNN, Julio's in the wine import/export business…

If they are a couple, Anderson would seem to be channeling his late Grandfather who was clearly a Playah way back when, before he met Big Gloria.

I can't believe the mean queen that said that Julio is "hideous"(and misspelled it)! Give me hideous any day, or better yet, Anderson Cooper.

As long as Anderson likes him, who cares what he looks like?

Julio looks like roadkilll and AC looks like he's still living way, way back in the deep recesses of the closet where NO light ever shines!

Fuck 'em both - they ARE beyond "hideous"….more like "shiteous"…..

No, No. 19, they are a handsome couple. I doubt your looks are anything close to theirs now, and will be even further when you reach 41 years yourself. Personality counts for something too…

No. 21 · ACDC

So why isn't Michael Musto all over this story? Shouldn't the NYC Gossip Maven know the real deal here? Is this the Coop's real beau or is this a decoy? Rumors are there is another hottie in his life now — someone seen regularly with him in the Whole Foods emporium in the Time Warner building. Don't any of you queens know the true dirt here?

Here's a news flash: Anderson Cooper is straight, and he has dated several very attractive women nationwide.

Although I believe that Julio Cesar and Anderson have some kind of close relationship, it wouldn't surprise me if there's some truth to what #21 ACDC is saying. Anderson's personal life has always been a confusing mystery, which is probably exactly the way he wants it.

If Anderson is trying to keep his personal life personal, he is not going to frequent The Whole Foods with his date. That place is crowded.

What??? Anderson Cooper is gay??? But I have a crush on him! All of my fantasies are ruined. How come all the women on tv hit on him then?

No. 29 · Sweetie Pie

Nate, Sorry, but Julio is hideous by my standards, I like the Simon Baker type, but I do think that Anderson is cute. It makes me nauseous to think of them together! YUCK!!

Nan, I think Anderson has too much money to tie himself down with one "person" so the Whole Foods rumor may be true.

Brian, I am not a "queen" I am a woman, and the misspelled word was an accidental double hit. In any case I guess I have higher standards than you do.

Maybe some of these guys are just friends. I'm assuming he wasn't making out with the guy in Whole Foods.

Well SweetiePie, you'll have to find a way to adjust, because from the sound of things, it looks like the "hideous" Julio has Anderson's heart, and frankly I think it's sweet.

Who cares if he is jetting off somewhere with his boyfriend? Live and let live. As long as they are happy, who really gives a sh!t?
