After nine years together, Anderson Cooper and his boyfriend, NYC nightclub mogul Benjamin Maisani, are calling it quits

According to E! News, the CNN host gave a statement about their breakup. He said:

“Benjamin and I separated as boyfriends some time ago. We are still family to each other, and love each other very much. We remain the best of friends, and will continue to share much of our lives together.”

While paparazzi saw Cooper and Maisani together as recently as this week, rumors had already been spreading about a breakup. Fuel was added to the fire when Cooper was caught spending time with another man, Victor Lopez, a few weeks ago.

We wish the best to both of them as they move through this potentially difficult time.
