Ben Maisani and Anderson Cooper Spotted Looking for a House Together

By JJ on

Manhattan bar owner Ben Maisani is rumored to be more than just a crush for CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. Things have supposedly gotten so serious that the National Enquirer reports that the two are looking at real estate together and Anderson might actually be thinking about coming out of the closet.

The couple had previously been spotted bike riding in New York and vacationing in India. Now an unnamed source has told the Enquirer that the two are looking for a love nest.

"Anderson has found his 'Mr. Right' in Ben. Their relationship is so solid they want to move in together, and they've been looking at Manhattan real estate," says the source.

For those who are just coming to the game, Anderson Cooper has long been rumored to be in the closet, but recently he seems to be hiding his sexuality less and less. Maybe the celebrated news man just wants to keep his private life separate from his public image, and that's fine, but at some point he'll likely have to publicly acknowledge his sexuality.
