Back in early 2010, designer Calvin Klein and his young lover, Nick Gruber, embarked on a two-year relationship. The affair marked the first time that Klein went public with a male lover.
Their romance soured when Gruber was busted for assault and cocaine possession in April 2012, and the 23-year-old was ushered off to a posh Arizona rehab facility. After his release, Gruber settled in LA, where he found a new, wealthy boyfriend and announced that he was writing a book about his time with the intensely private fashion icon.
In October 2012, Page Six Magazine was invited to Southern California to photograph him and reveal some of the juicier aspects of the tell-all. The story appeared in the December issue of the glossy magazine.

Since making that statement, the troubled Gruber has returned to the Big Apple, and last week he denied there was ever such a book in the works.
"That was false information. I never said that I was gonna write a book. I never would do something like that or hurt someone that I love," Gruber told Gawker's Michael Musto.
Despite his denial of the existence of such a manuscript, The New York Post has obtained a copy of Gruber's book proposal, titled "Obsession: My Life With Calvin Klein," co-written by journalist Lisa Arcella.
When asked for comment about the book proposal, Matt Rich, Gruber's p.r. representative, responded: "A previous advisor, whom [Gruber] no longer speaks with, wrote up a proposal without [Gruber's] permission or consent and circulated it. Those weren't his words."
Calvin Klein spokesman Paul Wilmot declined to comment.
Here's what's alleged in the book proposal's contents.
Nick Gruber grew up a world away from Calvin Klein's chic jet-set lifestyle. He would meet his father for the first time as a teenager, but until then he was shuffled between various foster families in Florida while his mother served prison time. At age 15, Gruber was sent to live in the small resort town of McCall, Idaho, with his father, a former Hells Angel. Gruber never questioned this transient, grifter existence until he met fashion icon Calvin Klein.
After vandalizing vacation homes in McCall, he returned to California, where his mother was living. Gruber, then just barely 18, was at the welfare office picking up his mother's food stamps when "an overweight and unattractive man" approached him in an encounter that would soon change the course of the poor, wayward teen's life.
