Francisco Lachowski has confirmed his sexuality for the first time to gay newsmagazine The Advocate.
The highly sought-after Brazilian-Polish Ford model, who has appeared in campaigns for designers from Gucci to Versace, will give his first interview to The Advocate after many denied requests.
The Advocate and other media had previously criticized Lachowski, 20, for not confirming what many have called the "open secret" of his sexual orientation. Prior to his coming out, he was linked to Yana Dwyer.
The Advocate will release Lachowski's statement - along with a photoshoot by Rion Sabean - in their February 2012 issue.
