- His essay preceded the release of his memoir Who Knew and responded to years of speculation about their relationship and his sexual identity.
- Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg began their relationship in the 1970s, experienced a separation in 1981, reconciled a decade later in 1991, and eventually married in 2001, sustaining a deep connection that combined romantic love and companionship despite Diller's attraction to men.
- He expressed that their connection went beyond friendship and acknowledged that while he was attracted to men, it did not conflict with his devoted love for Diane. He also shared that he had always been certain about his sexual identity, though he had worried about how others might respond.
- Diller described their marriage as a “unique and complete love” lasting more than two decades, which challenges traditional views on sexuality and partnership.
