RuPaul has confirmed that he married his partner of 23 years, George LeBar, in January.

The couple tied the knot on the anniversary of the day they met (which also happens to be George's birthday) in 1994 at New York's Limelight club.

He told friend and RuPaul's Drag Race regular Ross Matthews on his TV show, Hollywood Today Live.

"I've never said this on television before, we are married," said Ru.

"We got married actually on our 23rd anniversary. I meet him on the dancefloor on his birthday, so we got married on the night of the anniversary of when we met."

Their choice to marry wasn't all about everlasting love however. There was a more practical reason behind their marriage.

"We were looking into it for tax breaks and financial things," he said.

George owns a 60,000 acre ranch in Wyoming and Ru says he brings a bit of Drag Race glamour to the vast plains when he visits his husband.

"When I go there I dress up in western wear but nobody cares. I dress up in the most gorgeous western outfit and nobody cares," said Ru.

"When we get the chance to do anything, we want to go somewhere fabulous. We'll go to Maui, New York because Wyoming is very boring and it is the most isolated place on earth."

RuPaul's Drag Race season 8 fan favourite Cynthia Lee Fontaine posted a congratulation message to Ru on Twitter.

RuPaul's Drag Race debuts on VH1 on 24 March, which will include the first British queen to appear on the show, Charlie Hides.
