The pair were tour de force in the fashion world, respected across multiple industries with close friends in high-profile and influential circles.
The pair married in a private ceremony in 2014, shortly after same-sex marriage was legalised in the US. They welcomed their son, Alexander John ‘Jack’ Buckley Ford, in 2012. In the interest of both parents, Jack’s life has existed strictly out of the public eye.
