On Sunday, we spotted TV journalist Anderson Cooper with an unknown traveling companion as he headed out of LAX, passport in hand, screen printed declaration across chest.
Cooper once confessed that he liked to unwind from a long day of serious reporting by watching a snippet of mindless television, a la Living Lohan. But, with the show now off-air, how will the CNN charmer decompress?
Might we suggest he spend the evening perusing the goss' right here at BauerGriffinOnline. It'd be a nice 180 from his regular 360...

That's me!
That is not an unknown travel companion. That hottie is none other than the Coop's former (or current) partner, Julio Cesar Recio.
These two are inseperable! Wished I were a fly on the wall where ever they are traveling to.
Cute couple! Hope they have a fun vacation.
They make such a nice looking couple, if they are a couple. Anderson keeps his life so private that you hardly ever see photos like this of him. Very nice pics.
Glad to see that they are still together.
Are you guys kidding??????? I hope Coop isn't gay because Julio Recio is hideous!!! Anderson could do a hell of a lot better!!! He should choose someone with class like Jeff Lewis, now there is a hottie!!!
Bitch, it's not your say at who he dates or not! As long as he's happy, you're the classless one.
I think Anderson's boyfriend is quite a cutie.
Anderson looks like he takes good care of him. Julio looks like a little boy.
Julio is very lucky to have such a sugar daddy.
He's in his late 20s or his 30s, not a youth! Dark skinned people usually age really well. I guess the sun does less damage to dark skin.
I hope Anderson comes out soon. There's no reason these days not to.
He just doen't say it - people know he is gay and realize he and Julio are together.
Anderson and Julio Cesar have been together off and on for a few years. Julio is in his early 30's. I don't think Anderson's a "sugar daddy" to him, Anderson probably would prefer whoever he dated to have some accomplishments of their own, but I'm only guessing about it. Anyway, they look good together.
Yeah shut up about the "Sugar daddies" and "dark Skinned" people and all that nonsense it's all irrelevant. Just be happy for them both that they are friendly and went on a trip together, sheesh some of you... *shakes head*
I've seen him quite often at the David Bartin in Chelsea with a latino tinkie. There is no question what team he is batting for.
So now he has TWO bf's?!
It's possible to spend time with good looking friends without dating them. If he visits the gym with another guy it doesn't necessarily follow that guy is also a boyfriend. Could just be a gym buddy.
Have you been reading the other comments or have you ignored them? That is not hiu gym buddy, not that he can't be but he's also if he is his gym his on/off again boyfriend, do your research, fool! That is Julio Recio the guy AC thanked for his support and warm counsel in his book.
Have YOU been reading the comments? I was replying to the posters immediately above who were speculating that the other guy, the "latino twinkie", he's seen at the gym with might be a second boyfriend.
He thanked him in his book jacket and there are other photos of them.

Anderson says he has a hard time relaxing on vacation - except when Julio is with him!
Bet they haven't left their room all week.
"I do love nice hotels. There's nothing sexier...
Anderson said this in one of his old Details columns. I guess having Cesar with him makes those fancy hotels even sexier.
Beautiful couple. I hope they had a great vacation.
Yup, and with a sugardaddy like Anderson, you can bet it is a nice place! Anderson makes megabucks. more in one day than what most people make in a year.
I bet Julio doesn't care that Anderson acknowledges him - he is well taken care of.
I seriously doubt it's a "sugardaddy" type situation with the two of them.
Ahh, and the question is, which one of them will be the father to their babbies?
They need a name like brangolina do. Janderson?
The world needs some Anderbabies.
Whew! I could take any one of them. Imagine the fun they shared.
And they went to Egypt. How nice was that?
According to Kathy Griffin Anderson was in Egypt, I guess he didn't mind her telling his business on national tv that way.
It's Kathy Griffin. By now everybody knows that you only share information with her if you are OK with it being told to the whole world.
By the time Anderson told Kathy where he was, he certainly knew these picture of him and Julio were all over the internet.
I'm guessing he may have even told her on purpose knowing she wouldn't keep it a secret. Like what does it matter now, people know about Julio and they were off together. Inching out.
It's time to dispense with the "inching out" and just bust down that closet door for good Anderson!
Oh, gee, Anderson, even all the girls know you are gay and they don't have a chance with you - so out with it!
It won't hurt your ratings!
Maybe he'll come out if he ever leaves CNN.
Doubtful he will ever come out after CNN. Maybe he will just be less careful about taking Cesar out in public.

Since these latest pictures have been released, he's going to start being more careful RIGHT NOW. Personally, I wish he'd just hang loose and do whatever the hell he wants with Cesar in public. He's not required to explain anything.
Two gays in Egypt - isn't that a Muslim country? Where being gay can get you killed?
Anderson's still alive and well, so they obviously didn't raise any red flags over there.
Andy needs to stop with the childish behavior he's 41 and got to keep everything a secrect, fuck that! He can talk about his Father's death, Brother's suicide and all of the "Lavender" shows he likes but can't say if he's gay or not... must be stressful having to be so secretive. A shame really.. Multi-Millionare and worried about people knwoiung he's gay after all he's been through in his life, this he's a afraid of? *shakes head*
I agree, Hank. And on Letterman he can tell a personal story about how his mother blew him off on Thanksgiving -that would have hurt me had my mother done that.

Who doesn't know by now that he's gay? No announcements needed. One day he might loosen up, but the more people have "demanded" that he come out and called him cowardly, the more he's dug in his heels and stayed quiet. He does what he wants and apparently doesn't care what anyone thinks about him not talking about his sexuality.
What's the point of coming out when he's having the time of his life? Obviously he enjoys the same things any gay err man enjoys? And yes, it's not just about the boy-toys but also a slew of stuff that any gay man wants. It is his life and where he is now, it certainly sounds like a happy comfort zone for him.
I certainly would be happy too if I lead my life as a CNN honcho, travel the world in Hublot's time donning Zegna's, among other what-have-you's-of-AC's. Top that with being single with no commitment! Why then would I need to be out? Spells like: I envy... but in my perspective, that seemed to be where he is in many gay man's eye.
Guess we enjoy outing him for our individual agenda which unfortunately is different from his. Way to go AC!
Continue to amuse us that signature laughter ah-ha aha aha LOL! That's just a turn on.
You got it. Anderson Cooper has it all - he does as he pleases. And announcing his gayness is not one of them.
Looks like he is renewing with CNN - betchya with a hefty pay raise too.
a boatload of money I will certainly never see.
CNN will give him whatever he wants, they don't want to lose him. He has a big fan base and is pretty much the 'face' of the network - he gets CNN a lot of attention and his boss Jon Klein has a man-crush on him. Or at least that's how it seems. I agree that his odd laugh is a thing of beauty.
why is that mexican dude following anderson cooper?
Hey how do you all know Anderson is gay??? I mean he dosn't act or dresses, talks like he is gay???? Really how did you know???
Sara..exactly what is dressing, acting or talking gay?? I wanna know so I can identify all gay people and you seem to know "all the signs!"
