American Star
Actor Kurt Hummel, best known for his roles in Cold Water and the upcoming Firestone, recently confirmed his sexuality in a TV interview with Janae Parker. In confirming the long-held rumor that he is gay, Hummel added that he was happy in his private life, and didn't wish to say any more than that.
Fair enough, but here at American Star, like most Kurt Hummel fans out there, we can't help noticing the photos that keep appearing of our favorite star looking very loved-up indeed. Not only that, but it appears that Hummel and his beau have started a family together...Or have they?
In an exclusive to American Star, a source close to the pair revealed some interesting tidbits about the couple's relationship behind closed doors, including the fact that the happy family dynamic we're becoming used to seeing, might not be all it appears.
We can reveal that Kurt Hummel's boyfriend is known only as Blaine, and (sorry ladies), he and Kurt are "sickeningly loved-up," our source says, adding: "Kurt and Blaine are definitely together, of that there's no doubt. While Kurt might not have confirmed it, Blaine told me that while they've only been together a short time, it's serious. Not only that, but I've seen them together, and they only have eyes for each other."
Here's where it starts to get interesting; a couple of months back, photos surfaced of our new favorite couple (do they have a ship name yet?), out and about with three small (and very cute) kids. When asked about them on the Janae Parker Show, Kurt deflected the question, saying he wasn't in a position to talk about them. Ever the professional, Ms. Parker respected that, but many were left wondering what kind of situation would mean a new parent wouldn't want to discuss their kids.
Speculation only increased when the youngest child- a boy- was seen to bear a striking resemblance to Blaine, while the older two- both girls- could possibly carry a Hummel gene, since they both have the same bright blue eyes that have made Kurt stand out in his superhero role. But...all of that said, these kids are older, meaning that if they are indeed Kurt's (and possibly Blaine's), he's been keeping them hidden for a long time- since before his career even began, or he's very recently adopted.
Well, now we have our answer:
"Certainly the girls aren't Blaine's," our source confirms. "They're not Kurt's either; he's fostering them. A close friend died, and he took them in as a favor before he and Blaine got together. The eldest girl is quiet and sweet; Blaine says she's a perfect angel, but she has bad separation anxiety, probably owing to all she's been through. The second girl is loud and boisterous. She loves superheroes, which fits well with Kurt, of course. Blaine doesn't find it easy, settling into the role of step-foster carer; he's paranoid the kids could be returned to family at any second, and he struggles to find time alone with Kurt where they can just be a couple, rather than acting as parents."
And the baby?"
"It's strange. I'd say I know Blaine relatively well; certainly he feels as though he can be honest with me, but he repeatedly swears that the boy isn't his biological son. I'm telling you, though, they are identical. Same hair, eyes, smile, and the same sweet and unassuming personality. The baby is adorable; loving and happy. He also looks nothing like his supposed 'sisters.' If I had to guess, I'd say that Blaine had a child already, before he and Kurt got together, and they're trying to pass them all off as siblings so that the truth doesn't come out."
Truth? What truth could that be?! Hold onto your hats, because this one's a doozy.
"Blaine is- or was- straight," our source tells us. "I couldn't believe it when he told me. He's only ever dated women, and then Kurt changed all that. From what I understand, Kurt was rather predatory; employing Blaine as a music teacher for the girls, and then encouraging him to spend time with them in a social capacity. I think he saw what he wanted, and went about getting it. Who can blame him? Blaine is adorable; the perfect gentleman and a great match for Kurt, who is aloof and rarely speaks to anyone outside of his immediate circle. Hopefully, in time, Blaine will make him into a nicer guy."
We have to admit, we're surprised to hear that, since we've always found Mr. Hummel to be friendly enough, though he does always keep his distance from the limelight. It's great to hear he might have found happiness, but his family situation is certainly intriguing. We've studied photos of Blaine (not that it was a hardship) and the baby, and there's got to be some relation, at least. When you're ready to explain, boys, we're all ears!
