Orman comes out in NYT Magazine interview

Orman comes out in NYT Magazine interview

Television financial guru Suze Orman will publicly talk about her relationship with her partner and being a "55-year-old virgin" in Sunday's New York Times Magazine. According to Editor & Publisher's Web site, when she was asked by Deborah Solomon if she is married, Orman countered that she has a "relationship with life." After further pressing, Orman revealed that she is currently in a seven-year relationship with Kathy Travis, a coproducer on The Suze Orman Show.

She told Solomon that the two would like to get married because they each "have millions of dollars in our name. It's killing me that upon my death, K.T. is going to lose 50% of everything I have to estate taxes. Or vice versa."

The host of the five-year-old PBS show has won two Emmys for Outstanding Service Show Host and three Gracie Allen Awards through American Women in Radio and Television. Orman is the author of several best-selling personal finance books and products. She is also a contributing editor for O: The Oprah Magazine and writes a regular column for Yahoo! Finance.
