Calvin Klein and Kevin Baker Display Coordinated Style After Gym Visit
Despite a significant 46-year age difference, fashion legend Calvin Klein continues to share a strong bond with his longtime partner, model Kevin Baker. The couple, who have been together for approximately a decade, were recently photographed leaving Gold's Gym in Venice, Los Angeles, presenting a united and stylish front.
Matching Outfits Highlight Shared Tastes
Demonstrating more than just a mutual commitment to fitness, the devoted pair showcased their connection through carefully coordinated attire. Both Klein and Baker opted for sporty charcoal pants and identical long-sleeve black tops, creating a harmonious visual statement. They maintained individual flair by wearing different sneakers, adding a personal touch to their otherwise matching ensembles.
Recent Public Appearance Contrasts with Past Stumble
This sighting presented a notably steadier image compared to an incident last November in New York's East Village. During that outing, Klein experienced difficulty navigating camera flashes at The Brant Foundation art gallery entrance, causing him to stumble and become disoriented. His partner Baker appeared unconcerned, moving ahead while security assisted the designer. The recent gym departure showed Klein looking much more composed and stable on his feet.
Private Lives and Professional Backgrounds
The couple maintains a notoriously private relationship, with Klein rarely granting interviews and focusing discussions primarily on his career when he does. The renowned designer has experienced significant professional milestones, including the 2003 sale of Calvin Klein Inc. to PVH Corp. for approximately $700 million, from which he received $215 million and continued as consulting creative director.
Klein's relationship history includes:
- Marriage to Jayne Centre Klein from 1964 to 1974
- Marriage to Kelly Rector from 1986 to 2006
- A subsequent relationship with gay male porn star Nick Gruber, who was 48 years his junior
- His current decade-long partnership with Kevin Baker
Before his relationship with Klein, Baker gained recognition modeling alongside his twin brother Joel, including participating in fully nude photographic shoots. The designer has dated both men and women throughout his life, reflecting his personal journey in the public eye while maintaining substantial privacy around his current relationship with Baker.
