Has Calvin Klein finally found the (CK) One? Inside 79-year-old designer's VERY private romance with young model boyfriend Kevin Baker, 34, and his past relationships - from a fling with a male porn star to his two marriages with his ex-wives
Calvin Klein was spotted out on a rare lunch date with his longtime boyfriend Kevin Baker on Saturday.
The iconic designer, 79, and the model, 34, stepped out to grab food together at Mauro's Cafe in West Hollywood ahead of Father's Day, with Calvin keeping it casual in a pair of blue jeans, a long-sleeve grey top, and sneakers and his beau looking handsome as ever in a form-fitting dark green shirt and khaki pants.
The Calvin Klein Inc. founder has been dating Kevin - who is less than half his age - for nearly six years now, but the couple has done their best to keep their high profile romance under wraps.
Calvin and his younger boyfriend were spotted for the first time back in 2016, and they have since been photographed taking lavish trips together around the world and attending various elite red carpet events side by side.

Calvin Klein
Born to Jewish-Hungarian immigrants, Calvin Klein attended a high school of art and design and followed on to study clothing design at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology where he met his future wife Jayne Centre. Without graduating, Klein instead began working as an apprentice for a cloak and suit manufacturer in 1962. With his skills and ideas of New York’s urban styles, Klein set out to launch his own company. With financial backing from a childhood friend, Barry Schwartz, he commissioned a seamstress to produce a small range of coats and dresses in 1968.
A merchandiser from Bonwit Teller visited Klein’s showroom and was impressed with his collection. The department store bought the products and displayed the samples in eight of their shop windows. Through meeting the fashion editor Baron de Gunzburg, Klein became his protégée. With help of Gunzburg, Klein was introduced to the New York fashion elite and his designs began to be regularly featured in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. With his first show at New York Fashion Week, Klein was hailed as the new Yves Sa

The playing with fabrics and their erotic possibilities that was so critical to the ready-to-wear fashion also cropped up in the marketing of the jeans—Klein’s first masterstroke of many as an advertiser. “The first thing we did were those Brooke Shields commercials,” he says, “and they caught on like crazy.” I’ll say. It’s difficult to think of another series of ads that kicked up as big a brouhaha as did Richard Avedon’s 1980 TV commercial featuring a 15-year-old Shields looking directly into the camera and asking, “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.” Nearly 30 years later it’s not difficult to understand why this ad—in which Shields was dressed in a loose charmeuse shirt, which Klein describes as “the color of liquid,” and a pair of his jeans—created such a kerfuffle. This was an early iteration of the fashion world’s now perennial theme of the girl-woman, both innocent and sexual. (The fact that Shields had played a pre-pubescent prostitute in Louis Malle’s film Pretty Baby a couple of years earlier surely added fuel to the fire.) The other comme
