Is former New York Rangers forward Sean Avery involved with Bravo’s Andy Cohen? The rumors started on Tuesday after gossip blog The Fame Driven posted pics of Avery and Cohen in The Hamptons. According to the website’s source, they’ve have been engaged for more than a year. Here’s their words; “I’m not sure if you are aware or not, but Andy Cohen has been dating former NHL Sean Avery for almost a year and a half now, it will be two years in March. And get this, they are secretly ENGAGED!” Andy Cohen responded to the rumors by saying, “ask [Sean Avery].” He posted one of The Fame Driven’s photos of him and Avery along with the caption “How’d they find out!?!” Avery addressed the rumors by posting a photo of The Fame Driven’s article to his Instagram account, along with the caption “#Busted.”

What’s really going on? Andy is a friend of World of Wonder and was featured in their just-published coffee table book (that I designed) The World According To Wonder. But I have no inside knowledge one way or the other. I think it’s exciting! They sure look like a couple to me, I hope they are. And if not, I hope they keep teasing the press. The media needs more gay intrigue, and certainly more out sports stars. Yeah, our team! UPDATE: When Cohen was asked about this post, he responded with, “I love a hockey puck” So, there.
