Johnny Weir Jogs His New Puppy While Wearing a Sports Bra?and Won?t Let the Dog See His Husband Naked

Johnny Weir and his husband, Victor Voronov, recently adopted a puppy, a Japanese Chin named Tyoma. ?He?s white and blond?I?ll show you,? Weir told VF Daily at the American Ballet Theatre spring gala Tuesday night, digging his phone from his Herm?s Birkin bag. VF Daily can confirm that the dog is indeed adorable?and we noted that neither gent had white dog hair on his black tuxedo jacket. ?We have lint rollers,? Voronov said. ?And I?m very clean,? Weir added.

The puppy, Weir says, is the sweetest thing in their house: ?He is very straight, he loves women, he loves when all of our girlfriends come over. He?s got a really hairy chest, and he?s learning to bark. He goes on the paper every single time?very clever, very clean and accurate like a Japanese man.? Adding the new family member was the result of a compromise: Voronov agreed to the puppy if Weir would rein in his shopping habit for six months. So far, he?s had mixed success. ?I just got a Chanel cashmere onesie from What Goes Around Comes Around?vintage, from the 70s!? Weir chirped. ?I can?t wait to debut it.? And how to justify that to his husband? ?Victor was, like, ?You?re never going to skate in that.? I was like, ?This is a costume!??

The pair bantered about Weir?s habit: ?My mother told him that I shop to fill a void,? Weir said. ?I?m the void,? Voronov said with a shrug. ?So now he thinks I?m offending him when I buy something,? Weir added. As for pet logistics, Voronov does most of the puppy training, and Weir cleans up after him and takes him for runs. ?I wear my sports bra; he wears a little bandana. We?re good,? he says.

The puppy does not sleep in the bed with the couple because Voronov does not like to be naked in front of the dog. ?It?s like my child. It shouldn?t see that,? he explained. ?We have a healthy sex life, so I don?t want the dog to interfere with that,? Weir said.

This being the ABT gala, talk turned to dancing, and photographer Nigel Barker recalled his early days hitting clubs in the 90s. ?I had sideburns, earrings, big hair, peroxided hair,? he told us. He was into Wham! and Spandau Ballet. ?It was when they used to sort of flood the nightclub floors with foam and bubbles. I remember disappearing at one point, and grabbing somebody, thinking it was my date, and actually coming back up again and realizing it wasn?t. That was quite embarrassing,? Barker said. This was before his modeling days. ?It wasn?t pretty.?

Nightclub queen Amy Sacco recalled a more recent ?disco accident,? on the dance floor last summer at Prince Albert?s wedding to Charlene Wittstock in Monaco. ?That was my dance stunt. Someone just kind of hooked the leg, and I went out,? Sacco said, demonstrating a fall. ?And I landed right up, and I said, ?O.K.!? and I just literally went right back on. They looked at me, like, ?Are you O.K.?? [But] I didn?t skip a beat, and didn?t drop a drop of champagne,? she said proudly.

Bebe Neuwirth noted that although watching ballet may put some people to sleep, it?s the subject of economics that makes her nod off. ?I love the Atlantic Monthly, but I cannot, no matter how hard I try, read articles on the economy,? she said. ?Which is really interesting, because everybody?s got an opinion about the economy, but about 27 percent of the people in this country actually understand it!? Neuwirth said, laughing. ?I am not one of those 27 percent.?
