Who Is Calvin Klein’s Boyfriend? Inside the Fashion Designer's Relationship With Model Kevin Baker

From lavish holidays to street-side candids, their relationship has played out subtly over the years, occasionally igniting debate and fascination online. As for Baker, images of the model — including recent sightings — are waiting for you at the end of this piece.

Fashion mogul Calvin Klein has long commanded attention, not just for his minimalist designs and iconic branding, but also for his personal life.

The American designer, who launched Calvin Klein Inc. in 1968, was once a dominant force in the fashion industry. But beyond his professional acclaim, his private life also drew headlines.

Klein was married twice — first to Jayne Centre from 1965 to 1974, with whom he shares a daughter, Marci Klein, and later to Kelly Rector from 1986 until their divorce in 2006. That same year, he publicly came out as bisexual.

Two years later, he told Vanity Fair, "I've experienced – and I've said it before – a lot of my fantasies. I've experienced sex with men, with women. I've fallen in love with women. I've married women. And I have a family."

However, after selling his eponymous company in 2003, the designer gradually stepped away from the limelight. Now 83, Klein appears to favour a quieter life — though his relationship with model Kevin Baker continues to generate interest.

Following his divorce from Rector, Klein entered a two-year relationship with model Nicholas Gruber. Their age gap made headlines at the time — Gruber was 20, while Klein was 68. They ultimately split in 2012.

Not long after, Klein quietly began seeing Baker, a model 46 years his junior. Their relationship has lasted a decade, though they have remained largely private throughout.

The pair first appeared together publicly in 2016 at the Mint Luxury Conference in Mumbai, India. That same year, they attended several high-profile events side by side, including the Broadway opening night of "American Psycho" and the "Future of Fashion Runway Show."

Baker, now 36, had built a modest modelling portfolio in the early 2010s, appearing in publications such as "Supplementaire" and "Homme Style." He was also associated with agencies like Nous and Heffner and often worked alongside his twin brother, Joel Baker.

However, online modelling directories suggest neither twin has worked in the industry since 2013. Baker also appears to have no public social media presence, further underscoring his low-key lifestyle.

Despite maintaining a relatively private relationship, Klein and Baker have occasionally been seen holidaying in some of the world's most luxurious destinations.

From the beaches of St. Barts to helicopter rides in the Hamptons, the couple have enjoyed more than a few lavish getaways.

Yet, their relationship has not escaped public scrutiny. Reactions online have been varied — and at times, sharply critical. One person commented, "Poor man. Even if it's just companionship... he's clearly not into it."

Another shared, "He hates being seen with him, he rushes ahead," while someone else said, "Rich in money, poor in love. Body language never lies."

Some questioned the nature of the relationship entirely, with one remarking, "Thought that was his son. Boyfriend of 10 years? He looks young. Hot bf." Another simply typed, "Why he look like young Tom cruise [sic]?"

There were also light-hearted observations. One person laughed, "And they dress the same😂😂," while another noted, "He is extremely handsome 😮."

Despite the scepticism and curiosity, neither Klein nor Baker has commented publicly on their relationship. Their silence, much like their long-term commitment, speaks for itself.
