Pro wrestler Anthony Bowens reveals how he met boyfriend Michael Pavano

Professional wrestler Anthony Bowens has opened up about meeting his boyfriend Michael Pavano.

The bisexual pro sportsman came out last March, since when he has talked about the stigma and discrimination faced by being bi.

Now Bowens has revealed how he and his boyfriend met – and it wasn’t simple.

It turns out the pair met via Instagram, but one of them was already dating at the time.

“It was far from a fairytale,” Bowens admitted.

The 26-year-old says he chatted to Pavano for a while, before finding out he actually had a boyfriend.

“It was the last break that we took before we made it official that it was over,” says Pavano.

“And that’s when I met [Bowens] and was instantly attracted to him. I was just like ‘wow’.

“I even told my ex at the time that I was so attracted to him as soon as we got back together after that break.”

But it seems Pavano’s ex/not ex wasn’t on the same page.
