David Farrier and Grayson Coutts TV3 reporter and blogger David Farrier has come out as bisexual and has revealed that he is in a relationship with the son of America's Cup yachting hero Russell Coutts. In an article in the Spy supplement to the Herald on Sunday, Farrier, (29) and Grayson Coutts (24) say they met four years ago. They subsequently started talking via Facebook and romance blossomed. "I always thought David was cute," Coutts, a makeup artist, says. ""He made me laugh, then a few months ago he asked me out. We went to a movie full of bloodlust and gratuitous violence. So romantic." Farrier has not met Coutts' famous father yet, "but I have met his mum and she is ridiculously lovely and caring." Farrier supports Louisa Wall's equality in marriage bill which has just been drawn from the Parliamentary ballot. "I'm all for it, why is this even a debate," he says. "The moral fabric of society won't fly apart, in fact if anything it will be quite a boring change... let's legalise it." Farrier is the latest in string of mainstream media reporters and celebrities to come out in recent years, others include Rebecca Singh, Darren McDonald, Colin Mathura-Jeffree, Tamati Coffey, Alison Mau and Alistair Wilkinson.
