Barry Manilow is so Vegas. It turns out, he’s also so gay, which makes him so Gay Vegas.

While the rumors have followed him around for decades, People magazine reported on April 8 that Manilow, 71, wed his longtime manager Garry Kief, 66, last year in a private ceremony. That’s right – Barry and Garry are married.

Well, to be accurate, they had a commitment ceremony. They did not obtain a marriage license or file papers. The couple plan to officially marry later this year, reports New York Daily News.

The world best knows Manilow for his 1970s hits, like "Copacabana" and "Mandy,” as well as for his impressive stage presence and wardrobe. The latter, coupled with the fact that he was only previously married for a short period (1964-1966) to Susan Deixler has meant that suspicions about his sexuality have always persisted. His tight-lipped approach to discussing his private life hasn’t helped matters either. Now news of his big day seems to have finally put those rumors to rest.

The ceremony was held in Manilow's Palm Springs, California, home and, according to a source, counted on 20 to 30 guests in attendance. Not that they knew a wedding was to be held – they were simply given a lunch invite!

Two guests in particular stand out. Sources say Marc Hulett, Manilow’s assistant since the 1980s, performed the ceremony after registering online to become a minister. As if that wasn’t fantastical enough, Suzanne Somers was reportedly Manilow’s best man!

While the pair did not sign any official paperwork, reports say both Manilow and Kief wear wedding bands.

Indeed it was a ring that cemented the speculation, and there’s a Vegas connection there. Cameras caught Manilow sporting a wedding ring during a performance at the MGM Grand the night of April 12.

According to various reports, the couple have been together for more than 30 years. As of the writing of this article, Manilow has made no official announcement about the news.
