He was referring to his long-term partner journalist Richard Buckley, with whom he shares a [one-year-old son](http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG9590241/Tom-Ford-welcomes-a-baby-boy.html "undefined"). The couple met at a fashion show in the ’80s when Ford’s career was just beginning and Buckley was an editor at _Vogue_. The two have been together since. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/55475/tom-ford-married/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/55475/tom-ford-married/"},"headline":"VIDEO: Tom Ford Says He's Married","datePublished":"2014-04-09T14:51:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:12:54.279Z","description":"Ford married journalist Richard Buckley, his partner of 27 years","url":"https://time.com/55475/tom-ford-married/","keywords":["Style","Marriage","fashion"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1868ab2c9aa5fef8/698689daadae443af8542762/ford-1280x720-jpg.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1868ab2c9aa5fef8/698689daadae443af8542762/ford-1280x720-jpg.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Ford 1280X720.jpg","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/style/","name":"Style"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/55475/tom-ford-married/","name":"VIDEO: Tom Ford Says He's Married"}}]}] ```
