[1] John Burfitt, "Dancing With Darren", Sydney Star Observer, 11 May 2006: "Having dodged rumours about his sexuality for years, particularly in the wake of his 1999 divorce from his wife Colby Taylor, it seemed with the trifecta of gay appearances that Hayes was at last making a personal statement about his life. But since then, Hayes has continued to remain coy on the topic. In numerous international publications, Hayes has been asked point-blank if he is gay, and always dodged the issue." He additionally refused to answer the question when posed to him by Burfitt. On 17 July 2006, he announced via his blog that he had married his boyfriend of two years.
