Top 20 Famous Gay Celebs Who Once Had Opposite-Sex Spouses

17. Freddie Mercury

Freddie Mercury was the token gay man of a generation. He’s at the bottom of the list because while he was never technically married, he always felt like Mary Austin was his wife. They had a long term relationship that Freddie would refer to as a common law marriage. That marriage ended when she discovered Freddie had an affair with a male record exec. When he died, he left his entire estate to Mary, instead of to his partner.
