The host of RuPaul's Drag Race shared the secret in an interview on US television on Wednesday.

"I've never said this on television before: we are married," he said on Hollywood Today Live. "I met him on the dance floor at [nightclub] Limelight in 1994 on his birthday. We got married this year on the anniversary of when we met."

LeBar works as a rancher in the US state of Wyoming. RuPaul told the show his husband "doesn't care about show business at all".

"He couldn't care less," he said. "Most of the time, he's on the ranch in Wyoming. He has a 60,000-acre ranch. It's in two states, it's in South Dakota, too. When I go there, I dress up in Western wear and nobody cares."

Despite his outrageous on-screen personality, RuPaul keeps his personal life out of the spotlight, rarely featuring LeBar on his social media accounts.

The couple do not attend red carpet events.

In a 2015 Buzzfeed interview, RuPaul said the couple did not plan to get married because he did not want to "conform".

"We looked into it if we could get a tax break and stuff but not because??? Is he devoted to me? Am I devoted to him? Oh, hell yes. [But] I never want to be like everybody else."

The drag queen told Buzzfeed he met LeBar after "praying" for an ideal partner.

"He's so kind and funny. I remember praying, 'I want a sweet, sensitive man,' and I got an Australian who's just lovely."
