Are Boy George and Morrissey friends?

In February 2016, Boy George revealed on The Voice UK that he and Morrissey weren’t always fond of each other.

George was speaking after contestant Laura Begley performed The Smiths’ track Ask in a bid to progress to the next round

After turning his chair for her, the coach revealed that his first encounter with Morrissey did not go to plan.

“I met Morrissey in 1983,” he recalled. “It was hilarious. I had tea with him in Paris and he hated me.

“He didn’t speak and so I got really nervous and just went into verbal overdrive for the whole hour I was there.

“When I left, he said, ‘Boy George is overbearing’.”

However, it seems that any previous animosity between the pair had been settled.

George added: “The good news is we have met since then. I was a bit more grown-up the second time I met him and he was lovely.”

Is Boy George married and does he have children?

As of November 2022, Boy George is neither married, or has any children.

Although there had been much speculation about his sexuality during the 80s, he had always maintained that he was bisexual.

However, in his 1995 autobiography Take It Like A Man, George stated that he was actually gay, not bisexual.

Is Morrissey married and does he have any children?

Morrissey tends to keep his relationships private and away from the spotlight.

This means it is not known if he is married or has any children.

He once mentioned in an interview that he is not homosexual but humansexual.

In 2013, he published an autobiography, which gave fans an insight into his past relationships.

In the book, he revealed he was in a relationship with Tina Dehghani roughly from 1999.

They even discussed having a child together. 

He then got into a relationship with an Italian man named “Gelato” from 2005.

Also in his autobiography, Morrissey mentions a relationship with British photographer Jake Walters from 1994 to 1996.

In 1984, Polish singer Annalisa Jablonska was rumoured to be dating Morrissey.

The Smiths band mates Johnny Marr and Morrissey were also rumoured to be romantically involved in 1982.
