Richard Buckley, the husband of designer Tom Ford, has passed away at the age of 72 from a natural death at their home in Los Angeles, after a long illness, reports “Daily mail”. Tom Ford and their son Jack were with Richard, who was a fashion journalist, in his final hours.
Tom Ford, 60, met Richard Buckley at a fashion show in New York in 1986.
The couple married in 2014 shortly after the United States legalized same-sex marriage.
Designer Stella McCartney, who is Jack’s godmother, expressed her condolences on Instagram and said:
“Calling Richard a dear and beloved friend is a privilege. I am filled with deep, deep sadness. He was so loved, so respected, and so madly and passionately devoted to you, Tom and Jack, that his life was perfectly whole.”
At his last appearance, at New York Fashion Week, Tom Ford was without his partner.
