Hugh Sheridan’s ex-husband’s identity revealed

The identity of the high profile entertainer who was married to Aussie actor Hugh Sheridan has been revealed. 

The former Packed to the Rafters actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, appeared on Jessica Rowe's Big Talk Show podcast and said they were married for nine years to an unidentified actor. 

But fans did a little digging and have concluded that Hugh, 37, was married to 35-year-old Dynasty star and Venezualan actor Rafael de la Fuente. 

It is understood that at the time of the relationship, Rafael was openly gay and Hugh was yet to share that he too was gay.

On the podcast, Hugh said he did not want to reveal their former partner’s name but said the pair tied the knot on July 11, 2011 and were married for nine years. 

“I can't say their name because they were in the same industry, so. Couldn't really be specific about that, but I was married,” Hugh said. 

“We were solidly together for about seven years and then the last couple of years we were travelling a lot and it got too hard and, but we're still very good friends.” 

Hugh confessed that close family and friends knew about the marriage but they decided to keep it private from the public. 

“I was finding out if you don't speak out about your private life, people can assume that you're ashamed or that you've got some sort of an agenda or that you are denying other people their self expression by not talking about it.”
