Thierry Mugler's romantic life and details on his sexuality: The fashion designer's cause of death revealed!  

Thierry Mugler was a French fashion designer who rose to prominence in the 80s and 90s with his bold, timeless designs. Admired and favored by high-profile stars of his time, Mugler's work and legacy in the fashion was termed "ahead of his time" and ever-exemplary. He was also a big name in the fragrance industry.  

Born on December 21, 1948, in Strasbourg, France, Mugler had also pursued a career in ballet dancing briefly as he started studying the art form at the age of nine. At 20, he arrived in Paris and founded Cafe de Paris before launching his namesake brand Thierry Mugler. During his storied life, Mugler's personal life remained and continues to be an untold story.  

Was Thierry Mugler married? 

Mugler didn't pursue the marital aspect of life and didn't have any kids. He pretty much maintained a single life in front of the camera. Although there isn't knowing if the fashion designer indulged in any committed relationship away from the stares of the media, one thing the whole industry knew about the France-born was that he was gay.

Mugler's approach to fame was his work and work alone. The fashion designer kept his love life and family's information off-limits. His inclusiveness astonished many when he retired from the fashion industry in 2013 and ordained himself as Manfred. Mugler took up exhaustive bodybuilding after his retirement and, in 2019, made a bomb appearance as he posed semi-naked for a photoshoot.
