The 38-year-old star of “My Feet Are Killing Me” is ready to open up about his sexuality. “I just finally felt like it was time to do something and say something,' Schaeffer told TODAY.
Growing up, Schaeffer was aware of the"boxes" he fit into.
Really, though, Schaeffer's hesitation about having a family came down to"the burn" about his identity, which"became prevalent" into his mid-20s. “These beautiful people that we meet along the way. We put them in our boxes, and they don’t belong being in those messed up places with us — but that’s exactly what I did," Schaeffer said.
“I cried, not because I was sad because he was gay, but because he had lived with this stress for so long."Speaking to TODAY, Cohen recalled her reaction to her ex-husband's coming out."I cried, not because I was sad because he was gay, but because he had lived with this stress for so long," Cohen said."This feeling of really not being able to come out or being ashamed and to feel like he couldn't be who he was.
"I love that you accept and love me for who I am, but honestly, why don’t you just take the time to understand it a little bit?" he remembered telling his family. "That took my friends and family a while — to go from accepting to understanding."Stepping into his own sexuality, Schaeffer began going out in New York City more. It's there he met his current partner of 10 years, Sean. Like Schaeffer, Sean had previously been married to a woman and shared two kids with her.
Cohen remarried a few years after their divorce and has two kids now — Mason, 3, and Max, 5. She recently called on"Uncle Brad's" babysitting skills in the middle of the night when she and her husband were sick and needed to go to the hospital.
