After many years of romantic relationship with legendary designer Diane von Fürstenberg, Barry decided to make public a truth from his personal life: he belongs to the homosexual category.
In an excerpt from the article about his life, it is noted that the businessman spoke further about the complexity of their love and his sexual identity.
"We are not just friends. Simply put, it was an explosion of passion that lasted for years. Yes, I like men, but that does not conflict with my love for Diana," Barry wrote.
Diller and Fürstenberg first met in 1974, at a time when he was only dating men. The designer was the first woman in his life.
Although their romantic relationship crisis first occurred in 1981, they resumed their relationship in 1991 and married in 2001, spending over 50 years together in a relationship that challenged classic forms of love and sexuality.
"I never questioned my sexuality (I was just afraid of other people's reactions). But in my romance with Diana I never doubted that heterosexual biological impulses were as strong as homosexual ones," he continues.
