Darren Young Comes Out As Gay Thanks To Two-Year Long Boyfriend Who WWE Superstar Lives In Florida With, While Past, Present Wrestlers Show Support

Darren Young comes out as gay and revealed the main reason to why he did so and that is his boyfriend.

The WWE Superstar comes out as gay while shocking a photog when he was interviewed at an airport in L.A. this week. Sources reportedly told TMZ that Darren Young is "deeply in love" with his boyfriend of two years, named Nick.

Darren Young, real name Fred Rosser, has reportedly been living with Nick in Florida. Nick was the driving source in his decision to come out as gay and there has been a full-fledge of support for one half of the Prime Time Players.

John Cena was approached shortly after Young's announcement and supported him completely. So has Jason Collins, the NBA free agent who publicly admitted that he was gay. His tag-team partner chimed in through Twitter to show his support.

"I'm VERY PROUD of @DarrenYoungWWE He's been like Family 2Me&My Kids And that won't Change! #ImInFullSupportOfDarren."

He wasn't the only active, non-active, former WWE Superstars or head-officials to show some support.
