The world's most famous drag queen and supermodel of the world, RuPaul Charles, has announced that he and his long-time partner Georges LeBar secretly got married earlier this year.

The host of reality show RuPaul's Drag Race spilled the tea to Hollywood Today Live hosts Ross Matthews and Ali Landry, stating that  after 23 years together, the pair finally got married in January.

After Matthews asked him if they would ever get married, RuPaul said, "I've never said this on television before... We are married!"

They married on LeBar's birthday, which was also their 23rd anniversary of the night they met. 

”I met him on the dance floor at Limelight in 1994 on his birthday, so we got married on his birthday, the anniversary of when we met, this year," he said.

RuPaul and LeBar have kept their relationship notoriously private, but RuPaul did say this about his now-husband to BuzzFeed in 2015: "He’s so kind and funny. I remember praying, 'I want a sweet, sensitive man,' and I got an Australian who’s just lovely."

Condragulations, Mama Ru!
