Calvin Klein, 79, and longtime boyfriend Kevin Baker, 34, enjoy lunch in West Hollywood
Calvin Klein was spotted out on a rare lunch date with his longtime boyfriend Kevin Baker at Mauro’s Cafe in West Hollywood, ahead of Father’s Day.
Though he’s known for his incredible silhouettes and standout red carpet fashion, the iconic designer, 79, was casual cool for the Saturday afternoon outing, wearing a long-sleeve grey top, blue jeans, and grey sneakers.
Meanwhile his younger beau, 34, looked handsome as ever in a form-fitting dark green shirt and khaki pants.

The acclaimed style expert – whose fashion empire net worth is estimated to be a staggering $700 million – shielded his eyes from the sun with a pair of trendy aviator sunglasses.
The Calvin Klein Inc. founder rocked his grey hair in a spiky updo, with the help of gel, while his other half had his chestnut tresses combed to the side to achieve a dashing tousled look.
The couple made their way through the parking lot after enjoying the upscale Italian eatery.

Calvin and Kevin have never publicly addressed their relationship, but they have been spotted out together for years.
The last time the couple was publicly seen together was at the same restaurant in December of 2021.
The two made their first public appearance together in 2016 on the red carpet at the American Ballet Theatre’s Fall Gala.
Aside from their first public outing at the American Ballet, the pair were also pictured at the ACRIA holiday dinner at the 69th Regiment Armory in December 2016.

Calvin previously broke things off with former beau porn star Nick Gruber in January 2012 after two years together.
Around the time of their split, Gruber candidly spoke out about his relationship with the designer in December 2012, but later pulled the plug on a tell-all book and reality show after having moved to Los Angeles.
The model was checked into to an Arizona rehabilitation following the breakup, after he was arrested for cocaine possession. Rumors persisted at the time that Calvin was paying for the rehab, and had flown him there via private jet.
‘Calvin feels very protective over him. Despite all that has happened, and everything he’s done, he still loves Nick,’ a source told Page Six at the time.

After their breakup, the blond-haired, blue-eyed model announced he was working on a book titled Obsession: My Life With Calvin Klein, where he claimed that the designer once made him take a lie-detector test.
Recalling the incident, he told Page Six: ‘I passed it. And then, you know, things were much better. But I mean, what kind of partner would make you take a lie detector test?’
Prior to that, Klein was married to his assistant and photographer Kelly Rector from 1986 until 2006.
The fashion guru was also wed to textile designer Jane Centre from 1964 to 1974, and the two are parents to TV producer Marci Klein.
