I was Jacko’s secret lover

Despite two marriages and a string of alleged girlfriends, Matthew Denby reports that in private Michael Jackson was a very different man.

Michael Jackson’s secret gay lover has blown the lid on the late superstar’s hidden lifestyle, revealing startling details of the singer’s final weeks.

Jason Pfeiffer, a heavily built, 35-year-old employee of Michael’s dermatologist Dr Arnold Klein, has told Woman’s Day of his love affair with the star, calling their connection “a short romantic love story that ended in tragedy”.

“I’ve lost my soul mate, it’s very hard to describe the loss I feel but there is something that is empty in my heart,” says the Beverly Hills executive.

According to Jason, the romance began over the phone and progressed with a number of discreet meetings, after Michael had asked Jason to give him a ride home. He says they met secretly many times, both at the star’s rented home in Beverly Hills and at Jason’s office.

“I guess our first ‘date’, if you can call it that, was in my car,” says Jason. “We went for a drive and were talking and having fun, but Michael had his minders who were ‘nosey’, as Michael put it.

“We had to make sure we were not caught, and although the date was short as I had to take him home before anyone noticed, we had a great time.

“I thought nobody else knew [about us] but have since discovered that others did surmise the truth.”

Jason —who reveals that they even shared last Christmas together with Michael’s children and a few close friends —says the plastic surgery-ravaged star was devastated by his appearance. He liked reliving the glory days of his career, but he wouldn’t look at old pictures.

“He did not like looking at old photos of himself and didn’t want his children to see them either,” says Jason.

“He desperately wanted to recreate the old glory days for fans, the kids and for himself.
