“I saw this cute boy at a drag cabaret restaurant, I was in drag as my persona Bumpa Love meeting a friend Felisha Pourgette, we were headed to another gig for a film and TV company in Auckland and he was our ‘driver’, sooo cute but shy so I plied him with alcohol, sad but true.

We had fun but never connected again until a year later…I knew I’d marry him though from the first time I saw him. I was very busy with shows and work for that year and he worked 5am starts 6 days a week, hence taking so long to get our acts together. We finally bumped into each other late one night outside a club and managed to sort out a proper date…

We got Married in Auckland, New Zealand on 11 January 2014, our 12th Anniversary.”
