The last person we expected to see hanging out with billionaire David Geffen aboard his superyacht is his ex-husband, Donovan Michaels.

However, paparazzi snapped photos of the two men enjoying time together again earlier this week. Page Six published a story and photos.

It says Michaels, 33 (legal name David Armstrong), was spotted aboard Geffen’s superyacht, Rising Sun, on Monday in Mallorca, Spain.

In the photos, the men could be seen talking to one another. They appeared on friendly terms.

Another photo showed Michaels smiling broadly as he talked with a member of the crew.

It comes as a surprise since the couple’s divorce appeared super messy.

Meeting and marrying

Geffen met Michaels in late 2016 via a website called SeekingArrangements.com. Geffen, now 83, was in his 70s and Michaels in his early 20s. Their first encounter was transactional—Geffen paid $10,000 for the date—but they appear to have hit things off and continued to see each other.

In 2021, Geffen shared a (now deleted) photo of himself with Michaels whilst out sailing.

Hollywood mogul David Geffin has married his boyfriend in a private ceremony.
Geffen, 80, is worth $9.14 billion, says Forbes, and regarded as a creative genius who can “see around corners.”

They married in a private ceremony in Beverley Hills in March 2023. They reportedly did not sign a pre-nuptial agreement.

Divorce

The men split in February of 2025, and Geffen filed for divorce in May, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

Michaels then filed a lawsuit against his husband, alleging breach of an “oral contract” in which Geffen promised lifelong financial support and sharing of assets. The filing includes serious allegations of exploitation, forced cosmetic procedures, drug coercion, eviction, and financial abandonment.

Geffen fired a lawsuit back. It denied all of Michael’s claims, describing them as sensational fabrications and “salacious lies.” His legal team asserts that no such contract existed.

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Geffen’s yacht was also a point of contention.

David Geffen’s nasty divorce from 33-year-old ex takes a turn no one saw coming
The 83-year-old billionaire and Donovan Michaels did not have a prenup.

According to documents seen by the WSJ, Michaels claimed Geffen promised to give him the yacht while they were married.

Once again, Geffen’s lawyers denied this claim.

The divorce was finally settled in April 2026. Both men dropped their respective lawsuits, and representatives said an amicable agreement had been reached. The details of the settlement have not been revealed. Could it be possible that Geffen allowed Michaels some occasional access to the yacht after all?

Who knows? The Hollywood Reporter says the divorce settlement for Michaels is estimated at between $15 to $30 million.

Some friends of Geffen say the allegedly demanding billionaire got off lightly.

“Geffen got off way too easy,” one unnamed pal told The Hollywood Reporter. “He was constantly running around regaling everyone about Donovan’s 9 inches. He should have at least walked away with $10 million an inch.”

Let’s get to know Quinton…

Quinton Peron: Dancer, choreographer, and trailblazing former NFL cheerleader 

Hi Quinton, Happy Pride, and thanks for talking to Queerty!

When you enter a Planet Fitness gym, you right away notice the Judgement Free ZoneⓇ. This is not just a slogan or sign, but an ethos. We’ve all experienced being judged, even in gym environments. How does this resonate with you, and what’s the best way to bring a sense of belonging to fitness?

This resonates with me personally because I remember the first couple of months of my fitness journey, I was a little nervous and intimidated. But as I got comfortable and realized that nobody was judging me, I began to relax and fully lean into my workouts. Having such a big ethos smacked on the walls right when you walk in definitely helps ease the pressure.

You are a fabulous dancer and a choreographer. You competed on the Amazing Race. You were one of the first male cheerleaders in the NFL, performing at the 2019 Super Bowl. Basically, you are a world-class athlete. Do you feel a sense of belonging in these areas?

Correction. I cheered at TWO Super Bowls, 2019 and 2022

Haha. We stand corrected! Two Super Bowls.

All jokes aside, I definitely feel a sense of belonging in all of those areas because I know how much blood, sweat, and tears I have personally put into my craft, and I know for a fact that no one can take that away from me.

What makes the perfect workout spot for you?

The perfect workout spot for me would be a place with fun, loud music, clean, plentiful equipment, and a supportive, friendly staff.

What’s your gym playlist?

My gym playlist is all over the place, and it honestly depends on the mood I’m in that day. Some days I’m listening to music, and other days I’m listening to or watching my favorite podcasts. 

What in particular are you listening to right now?

My most-played song at the moment is “Energía Bonita” by Alganori. GET INTO IT! It’s such a hot song. It’s been on repeat for a month now, haha. I’ve also had Michael Jackson’s “Off The Wall” album on repeat ever since I saw the movie.

Who are your athletic role models/influences and why? 

Shaun T is a huge inspiration to me. Dancer, husband, crazy physique… goals!

Fitness is a year-round commitment, not just during Pride season. What keeps you motivated? What keeps me motivated is the feeling of accomplishment I get when I look and feel a certain way. There’s no better feeling than knowing summer is coming, especially when you’re sooo prepared from the training you put in months prior.

You do a lot of coaching and choreography. How do you make sure everyone is supported wherever they are on their fitness journey?

One thing I do to make everyone feel supported when they are with me is to meet them where they are. It’s fine to have high expectations and goals, but I try not to set expectations for where my clients should be. They tell me their goals

Planet Fitness is partnering with CenterLink again this year. In the partnership, Planet Fitness will work with CenterLink to distribute microgrants to local LGBTQ+ community organizations to support a range of fitness and well-being initiatives. What are your thoughts on giving back this Pride season? 

My entire life is centered around giving back. I am a dance teacher and choreographer whose mission is to make sure everyone who takes my class feels included, important, and supported. I am everyone’s biggest cheerleader. I would love to help out this Pride season wherever I can.

What are your favorites in the Planet Fitness Pride collection? I really love the “You Belong” hat and the “Pride You Belong” T-shirt.

We look forward to following the careers of Quinton and Rachel. Happy Pride!

House Speaker MIke Johnson is in hot water once again after his offhand comments to a Louisiana radio show started making headlines this week. His ominous prediction for 2033—the year in which he predicts we’ll run out of funding to meet Medicare claims—is a distressing detail of an even more troubling report this week. But even worse are his plans for meeting this crisis. Or rather, not meeting it.

“The reason we are in trouble is because over 74 percent of federal spending is on autopilot, mandatory spending,” he explained in the interview. “That’s your entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and then things like Social Security. They have to be adjusted and fixed.”

To hear Social Security—a mandatory fund Americans contribute to with each paycheck—labeled an “entitlement” program is shocking enough. Hearing Johnson nod to an ominous “plan” to cut into these stabilizing programs during a widespread healthcare crisis doesn’t exactly bode well for any of us.

Politics, but make it gay!

That’s just one detail of what has been a pretty flop-heavy week for Johnson, the notorious anti-LGBTQ+ pundit whose Grindr rumors have haunted him for years. Earlier in the week, Johnson found himself in the familiar cuck position of having to defend Tr*mp’s joyful response toward the inflation crisis.

Explaining that the president’s remarks of “I love the inflation” were taken “out of context,” Johnson tried to create context for them, in the same way that parents try to explain that their newborns’ gurglings are actually a take on the Gettysburg Address. “What he was saying is it’s going to be great to have that number and compare it to what comes next,” he explained. Sure Jan!

To make things even more embarrassing for the House Speaker, 20 Republicans defied Johnson this week to join with Democrats in passing a pro-union bill. It’s just one in a series of rebukes by restless Republicans sick of Johnson’s allegiance to Tr*mp at any cost.

The bill still has to pass through the Senate, but it’s the voting pattern that counts here. As Johnson clings tighter to the narrow House majority he’s almost certain to lose this November, he faces a critical choice: align with fellow House Republicans to plan for a post-Tr*mp future, or go down with Tr*mp’s sinking ship.

I think we all know which choice he’s making, especially in light of those Medicaid comments.

Republicans have historically had an ax to grind with Medicaid and Medicare, viewing it another government “handout” paid for by American tax dollars. But Tr*mp and Johnson’s plans reflect a turn toward the punitive in going after these crucial healthcare initiatives. The COVID crisis exposed the government’s inability to meet a widespread health disaster, and the looming Ebola and screwworm crisis threaten to plunge the country into an even worse state of collective health. Meanwhile, nearly half of American adults admit to having difficulty affording necessary care, with one-third stating that the cost of care is a hindrance to actually seeking medical attention.

The plans to slash Medicaid would also make more sense if we weren’t spending billions on the Iran War. So much for small government!

The good news is, none of this is good news for Mike Johnson. If he keeps this up, he could be back to sleeping on that anti-gay pastor’s basement couch pretty soon.

Bryon Noem’s dominatrix blows the whistle on this secret kinky Republican pastime
Turns out, Bryon Noem’s humiliation feitsh isn’t an isolated case.

Sign up for the Queerty newsletter to stay on top of the hottest stories in LGBTQ+ entertainment, politics, and culture.

Texas Senate hopeful Ken Paxton has spent the start of Pride month trying to shut down a gay pool party, and karma has showed up with the quickness, because not only did he just lose that battle, he also just lost an important ally. Paxton’s own lawyer has flipped over to LGBTQ+ ally Talarico’s side, a move that bodes well for the nail-biting race this November.

Dan Cogdell, who spent years representing Paxton and contributed financially to his senate run last year, has seen the light. In a recent episode of the lawyer’s podcast, he told Talarico that he believes Paxton has lost his way.

“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases,” Cogdell explained. “But in my view, respectfully, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.”

Talarico, on the other hand, will be able to do what the state needs: uniting Democrats and Republicans to create positive change for Texans. “Republicans have had control of Texas for 30 years,” he said. “Enough is enough. We are last in the country in healthcare, bottom for education, 1st in school shootings, 1st in most uninsured.”

How about we take this to the next level?

Cogdell isn’t the only one who feels this way. Paxton was already seen among Republicans as the weaker pick against incumbent John Cornyn. Now, he’s looking pretty weak indeed.

“This is a race that could very well lead to Texas flipping blue for the first time decades,” Aaron Parnas predicted.

Cogdell might not be the showiest endorsement for Talarico, but the fact that he completely changed sides speaks to the possibility of other Republicans ditching their commitment to the Tr*mp-endorsed Paxton in favor of something new. “I stood behind the man for 8 years,” he said. But the MAGA favorite has lost his favor, in part because of his friends in high places.

Cogdell’s comments about Paxton’s alignment with Tr*mp were pretty telling. “He’s just an absolute rubber stamp,” Cogdell said of the president, whose endorsements may frighten congress, but don’t hold much water with actual voters at this point. If someone this historically aligned with the Republican party feels that a Tr*mp endorsement is a branding flaw, other Republicans surely feel the same way.

But are there enough of them to flip the historically red state in November?

That’s the million-dollar question. The good news is that Talarico, in addition to being a fierce advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and who famously declared on the Texas House floor that “trans children are God’s children”, has proven that he has the backbone to fight fire with fire against the aggressors eager to paint his masculinity as less-than simply because he believes in human rights.

“Paxton has a criminal record, I have a legislative record,” Talarico told Politico last month. He’s certainly not shy about calling up Paxton’s criminal history. In response to the (ridiculous) charge of veganism last month after the Obama taco meltdown moment, Talarico said: “I’ve been eating barbecue since Ken Paxton’s first indictment.”

Like it or not, Texas Republicans are facing the one threat they can’t dodge: a candidate who represents a hopeful new beginning for millions of tired, disillusioned voters sick of the status quo.

“Medicaid for gays”: He hooked up with a doctor and got a diagnosis he wasn’t expecting

Hilary Knight has been building a hockey legacy for years. But this time, she also made sure everybody knew exactly whose moment it was.

After helping lead Team USA women’s hockey to gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Knight’s victory lap reached far beyond the rink. Her appearance on Saturday Night Live likely made her the first out LGBTQ+ athlete to appear on the show, and the first female athlete to appear twice. 

Notably, Knight wasn’t interested in letting Team USA’s celebration get swallowed by controversy around the men’s team and D*n*ld Tr*mp. When asked about it, she kept the attention where it belonged: on the women who earned it.

“It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats,” Knight told LGBTQ Nation. “These women are amazing, and whatever is going on should never outshine or minimize their work and our success on the world stage.”

How about we take this to the next level?

That team-first instinct has always been part of Knight’s career. She is a five-time Olympian, a Team USA captain, and the all-time American Olympic leader in goals and points. She’s also one of the defining faces of a generation that pushed women’s hockey to be treated like the serious sport it’s always been.

Speaking to TIME before the Olympics, Knight described what it means to represent Team USA, especially against Canada, its fiercest rival. “Whenever you throw on that jersey, whenever you get to represent your country, there is just so much pride,” she said. 

That same sense of purpose was there in 2018, when Team USA won gold after the players’ 2017 fight for better treatment from USA Hockey. “We really wanted to get it done for everybody in that room and who obviously helped us get to where we were,” Knight said. “We were playing for a bigger purpose.”

For LGBTQ+ fans, Knight’s impact has another layer. In a 2023 interview on The Keller & Kess Show, she spoke directly about why coming out mattered beyond her own life.

“I realized to be able to come out is important, because there are so many people struggling with who they are,” Knight said. “Whether it’s to lend a voice or draw a little bit more attention… hopefully it’s one of those things that people can look at and feel more comfortable when they see more people come out.”

Knight’s own love story has also become part of that visibility. She and Olympic speedskater Brittany Bowe got engaged during the 2026 Games, after first connecting through the Olympic world.

“Olympics brought us together,” Knight wrote in her announcement. “This one made us forever.” The news was met with an outpouring of love, including from LGBTQ+ sports icons like Adam Rippon and Billie Jean King.

Even though she’s a famous athlete, there’s no requirement for Knight to make every interview a speech about identity in order to make an impact. Sometimes the statement is being excellent, being visible and refusing to let anyone shrink the moment.

At least we can all agree that pride looks pretty good with a gold medal, doesn’t it?

Jerry Fallwell Jr.’s cuck fantasies. David Vitter’s alleged diaper photos. Bryon Noem’s recent “bimbofication” fetish. What do all these embarrassing sex scandals have in common? They were perpetrated by God-fearing, family values-toting Republican men who assumed their secrets would stay in the closet.

Sadly for them, that didn’t happen.

Bryon Noem’s shocking kink took center stage earlier this year when several of his dommy mommies went on the record talking about how “ICE Barbie” Kristi Noem’s husband loved fantasizing about being transformed into a double-F cup “bimbo.” Now, one sex worker is spilling it all to The Lincoln Project, and making some salient points about Republican sex fantasies in the process.

“It’s just a Republican thing,” dominatrix Shy Sotomayor explains. “I’ve come across a lot submissives, they would do just about anything for Tr*mp.”

Politics, but make it gay!

Bryon Noem’s kink is far from the only BDSM bombshell we’ve seen in the past few years. The problem is so prevalent, in fact, that in 2018, Politico wrote a report on why Republicans are more likely to engage in kinky extramarital fantasies that have the potential not only to embarrass them, but to out them as being far more deviant than any identity found on the LGBTQ+ spectrum.

“I surveyed 4,175 adult Americans from all 50 states about what turns them on,” wrote Tell Me What You Want authorJustin Lehmiller in 2018. He found that: “Republicans were more likely than Democrats to fantasize about a range of activities that involve sex outside of marriage.” They also were prone to “fantasies with voyeuristic themes, including visiting strip clubs and practicing something known as “cuckolding,” which involves watching one’s partner have sex with someone else.”

Considering the Jerry Falwell Jr. fallout, it makes perfect sense. Republican men crave power, but they’re turned on by the loss of it. That’s why the risky behaviors that make headlines offer a consistent contradiction between what these men openly preach, and what they privately prefer.

You might assume this tension reached its peak during the early Tr*mp years, but that’s not the case.

In 2023, after Tr*mp’s first term was in the rearview, a separate report found that both Democrats and Republicans were seeking out fetish content like never before. “Liberals desire being dominated by conservatives and called pejoratives,” wrote one Washington Post reporter, “while conservatives want to be mocked for supporting former president D*n*ld Tr*mp, among other perceived transgressions, according to those who participate in this subculture.”

The kink works both ways, of course: one bisexual Republican (yup, you read that right) who founded the MAGA Doms/Dommes and Libt*rd Subs group on FetLife only spoke on condition of anonymity, since he knows that if his kink was found out, he’d lose everything.

Apparently, that’s part of the thrill, and it’s baked right into the American two-party system. Critiquing reformed neocon Robert Kagan’s treatise on our dying democracy, one Baffler writer pointed out last year that: “from the beginning, [American] democracy was defined as possession—guarded for some, denied to others.” Possession of land, rights, or other finite privileges afforded at first only to the most powerful. As liberals seek to make the country truly democratic, offering the same possibilities and benefits for everyone across the board, Republicans fall into cycles of “humiliation and revenge.”

Tr*mp’s autocracy stands at the matrix of these seemingly contradictory forces: as he continues to massively fumble his second term in office, Republicans must feel some degree of humiliation, even as they count on Tr*mp to enact his revenge against what they see as the liberal agenda that defined the Obama years.

As we’re seeing, however, even the Republicans can’t help but purposely undercut their political wins with personal humiliations. Bryon Noem is only one of many. It seems like every week we hear about another anti-LGBTQ+ politician or preacher getting caught soliciting minors or worse. Being caught is starting to feel like a significant part of the kink: unless they’re risking everyone by engaging in hypocritical acts of deviancy, they can’t get off.

Which is sad for them, but pretty sweet for the rest of us watching from the wings.

Figging, bottom fever & hardness: this urologist has some very gay expertise to share

When was the first moment you knew Heated Rivlary was going to make Connor Storrie a star?

Was it when he delivered that show-stopping phone call in Episode 5 with perfect Russian dialect, even though he’s a born-and-raised Texas boy in real life? Or possibly earlier on when Ilya totally dommed Shane in that Vegas hotel room? Or, hey, maybe you know the first time you caught sight of his backside in the premiere!

Well, whenever it was, the team behind Criminal Minds: Evolution knew before you did that Storrie was destined for big things.

After he filmed what would become his breakthrough role on Heated Rivalry, but before the hot hockey romance aired & became a global phenomenon, the actor booked a part on the Paramount+ procedural drama that was only meant to be a one-episode guest star slot. But they were so impressed they decided to expand his role for a four-episode arc.

How about we take this to the next level?

Previewing Storrie’s Criminal Minds debut on June 11, series creator Emily Messer spoke with Vulture about casting the role of Lance Kingston, a “a charming narcissist with a deep sense of entitlement” who becomes involved with the show’s Behavioral Analysis Unit after being accused of stalking his girlfriend.

“We were very much interested in finding somebody that would stand out a bit. Connor won that, hands down,” Messer says, revealing that his then-forthcoming work on Heated Rivalry wasn’t even a consideration—because no one had seen it yet!

But, like the rest of the world would soon be, they were blown away by the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent he brought to set. So much so that Messer and her team immediately set out to write more material for him.

“We were like, ‘Okay, I know he was important for episode four, but we’ve got to make him more integral to the rest of the season’,” she recalls, noting that the decision was made “100 percent because he was so compelling.”

Along with some exclusive preview photos—which showcase Storrie showing off those signature biceps of his!—Vulture also reports that his character, Lance, will go “toe-to-toe” with the series’ heroes. And, apparently, in a role reversal of his Ilya/Shane dynamic, he’ll be the one getting dommed here, specifically by Adam Rodriguez’s character Luke Alvez. Umm, sounds hot! We’re in!

Suffice it to say, we anticipate a whole new audience tuning into Criminal Minds: Evolution this week, considering what a hot commodity Storrie’s become.

Anticipation is especially is high because it’s technically the 26-year-old star’s first proper screen role post-Heated Rivalry. We say “technically” because he also very briefly appeared in an episode of Apple TV’s sci-fi drama For All Mankind that aired last month (apparently filmed back in 2024), but that’s just one brief line of dialogue—amusingly also delivered in a Russian accent, we might add.

But with Lance, he’ll be ditching the accent, and getting to show us his range, playing someone who’s presumably just as intimidating as Ilya Rozanov, but much less of a secret softie.

And, of course, this is just the beginning for Storrie, whose somehow find time to film multiple projects between the Heated Rivalry press tour, magazine photoshoots, all of the red carpets, hosting SNL, and that booytlicious Verizon ad.

He’s already wrapped on an upcoming A24 comedy called Peaked from Molly Gordon, which boasts a star-studded ensemble (including Dua Lipa, Laura Dern, Amy Sedaris, Owen Thiele, Gabby Windey, and Alex Consani, to name a few) and tells the story of to high school queen bees hoping to re-embrace their teen popularity at their 10-year reunion.

And Storrie’s reportedly in the middle of filming a lead role in the thriller Turpentine from Craig Zobel (Mare Of Easttown), playing a deadbeat son who hires someone to rob his own parents, one of whom just so happens to be played by the iconic Melissa McCarthy.

He’s also attached to a mysterious new project from Babygirl filmmaker Halina Reijn, which is super exciting, too, but let’s be honest: at this point we’re starting to worry Storrie’s not going to have time to get back to the rink for Heated Rivalry!

Well, never fear, because Season 2 is set to begin filming this summer for an April 2027 release date. As reported, the new episodes will largely be based on Rachel Reid’s follow-up novel The Long Game, following Shane & Ilya growing into their relationship while still trying to keep it a secret from the world.

“It really is different,” showrunner Jacob Tierney recently teased. “And the challenge, from an adaptation standpoint, is you’re in much more serious territory. There’s still lots of flirting, and there’s lots of sex, but it’s this kind of danger. This kind of ‘hotel room, adolescent sex’ stuff is largely gone.”

But it makes sense that things will feel a little different. After all, Connor Storrie went into the first season as a relative unknown, and he’ll be walking into this one a superstar. As far as we’re concerned, he’s just getting started.

Connor Storrie’s four-episode Criminal Minds: Evolution arc begins June 11, streaming exclusively on Paramount+.

Nicholas Galitzine, currently gracing theaters in the lead role of He-Man in Masters of the Universe, has landed his next acting role.

Galitzine will play Hoyt Richards in a biopic. Deadline reports that Gus Van Sant is in negotiations to direct.

Richards, 64, is regarded by many as the world’s first male supermodel. He rose to fame in the 1980s with campaigns for Gianni Versace, Valentino, Gianfranco Ferré, Ralph Lauren, and Donna Karan, among many others. Photographers he worked with included Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton and Steven Meisel.

He also did some acting, appearing in movies such as the Harrison Ford and Anne Heche rom-com Six Days, Seven Nights.

Eternal Values cult

Richards also made headlines for becoming involved with The Eternal Values cult. Its leader preyed upon male models and other wealthy young people, persuading them to part with their money and distance themselves from their families.

Richards reportedly donated millions to the organization. He escaped it in 1999 and has since spoken out about the dangers of such cults.

A post shared by Hoyt Richards (@hoytrichardsofficial)

That part of Richards’ life is the subject of a three-part HBO documentary, Bring Me the Beauties: A Model Cult. It dropped on June 1.

Deadline says no plot details about the Hoyt Richards movie have been confirmed.

Canadian actor Galitzine first came to attention as Prince Henry in the hit queer romance, Red, White & Royal Blue. Its sequel, Red, White and Royal Wedding, wrapped filming in March and is likely to hit Amazon later this year. He also features in Pete Berg’s WWII-set sports drama, The Mosquito Bowl.

Gus Van Sant first made his name in the late 80s with Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho. He earned Best Director Academy Award nominations for Good Will Hunting (1997) and Milk (2008), about the life of San Francisco activist and council member Harvey Milk.

Following the end of his 10-season run on Queer Eye, Antoni Porowski is jumping back into a new reality series.

Known for being the resident food fanatic on QE, the 42-year-old Emmy winner is continuing on with a culture-focused National Geographic travel series in which he uncovers his body what makes a destination truly special.

Best of the World with Antoni Porowski, inspired by National Geographic’s Best of the World ranking, will see the gastro guru explore Paris, Mexico City, London, and his adopted home of New York City.

The pool boy chronicles

As he takes on the envious mission, Antoni will visit iconic landmarks, hidden gems and speak to the locals that make these cities some of the most desirable places to live and visit.

But by the looks of the trailer, Antoni also spends a good amount of time getting in & out of swimming pools. 💦Now, we’re not complaining. In fact, we’d fully support and watch a show solely focused on Antoni cooling off his muscled physique in gorgeous bodies of water. Make it happen Nat Geo!

In the meantime, Best of the World brings the people what they want with a shirtless Antoni enjoying a morning swim at a fabulous hotel. This is what pool boy dreams are made of.

Then there’s a shirtless and dripping wet Antoni emerging from said morning swim looking like the perfect ’90s cologne ad.

Spray me, Antoni!

And finally, there’s shirtless Antoni enjoying a nighttime dip in a luxury rooftop pool with a view. Check out that gorgeous vista!

Best of the World with Antoni Porowski

Besides satiating watching Antoni pool hop around the world, the show will also see him gain “rare access inside Big Ben’s Great Clock, sample generations old art of cheese making at Quatrehomme Paris, drift off in a surreal dreamscape at Quetzalcoatl’s Nest in Mexico City, and handing out medals alongside world-class volunteers at the finish line of the New York City Marathon,” a release noted.

And if that isn’t enough to hold your attention, the cookbook author will also hit up spas and don sleeveless tanks at local wellness facilities.

Namaste.

“Travel has always been my way of understanding the world – and myself,” Antoni said in a statement. “Exploring these cities alongside the people who call them home reminded me that what makes a place special isn’t just what you see, but who you meet and the stories you’re invited into.”

This is Antoni’s second venture with National Geographic having hosted the 2025 travel series No Taste Like Home with Antoni Porowski for the channel.

Beyond reality shows, Antoni has stayed booked and busy with his multiple brand sponsorship deals. In the last few months, he has appeared in campaigns for Peroni, the Canadian grocery chain Loblaws, and most importantly, in a series of body-baring ads for SAXX Underwear.

As of late, he’s also appeared in two ads with his real life boyfriend, Peloton trainer Zacharias Niedzwiecki. The hunky duo played versions of themselves in campaigns for DoorDash and Boss. Make those boyfriend bucks, boys!

It’s unclear if Zacharias will pop up in any of Best of the World episodes, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for a cameo.

Best of the World with Antoni Porowski premieres June 7 on National Geographic and all four episodes will be available to stream the following day on Disney+ and Hulu.
