Calvin Klein’s Ex, Nick Gruber, Is in a Lot of Trouble (New York Post)
Calvin Klein’s ex-boyfriend, Nick Gruber, is not doing well. In April, he was busted inside a Hilton hotel room for possessing meth and a loaded gun. This was his third bust in the past year. Yesterday, Gruber appeared in a Manhattan criminal court to answer charges relating to his other two busts, including beating a man with a frying pan, breaking and entering, and stealing meth.

Gruber and Klein dated for two years, starting in 2010. Gruber was 20 at the time and Klein was 68. Their relationship, Klein’s first public same-sex relationship, inspired the off-Broadway play Skintight, which was written by Joshua Harmon and premiered last year at the Roundabout Theater in 2018.
