    He's married to a woman? I don't know why, but I always assumed he was gay.

    Mumps I thought it was.

    Also I'm not sure he's full on gay, but think he likes to help them out when they're short staffed!;)

    Like many theatre stars he's very.......camp.

    I am sure he is very accommodating to his fans, possibly of both sexes. Who knows.......:D

    He comes across as a very tactile touchy-feely type of bloke, almost to the point of sleaziness. I wouldn't be surprised if he groped a few women at shows to be perfectly honest!

    I believe he's a bit of a diva too - he refuses to speak for hours before concerts to 'preserve his voice', and makes dismissive hand gestures if anyone tries to communicate verbally with him.

    He's not married to her (she's old enough to be his mother) and has never been married... from my understanding she took him under her wing after interviewing him while he'd been going through some sort of depression and a period of stage-fright and I saw somewhere ages ago that she saved his sanity as she understood what he was going through and I have read several times that she's his 'beard' whatever that means!!!!

    Seemingly he's quite fond of one of the guys who didn't become Joseph!!! ;) Like someone said, he had a parachute accident where his nether regions got damaged.... and re kissing women, even gays enjoy kissing women... including John Barrowman!!! Michael has loads of women who follow him around the country (his Ballettes) and hang about at stage doors and he'll kiss them...

    He has been with Cathy McGowan since the early 1990s. She is 19 years his senior and they have never married. Comes across as being more of a companionship than anything else.

    She was previously divorced and has a child by her first marriage.

    Ballettes! :D
    S'true, John Barrowman is happy to kiss anything that moves....wonder what his followers are called! Barrowgirls?

    A good friend of mine is long-term friends with someone who co-starred with him in a musical. Apparently, he was a bit 'me me me' and a diva. The person in question couldn't wait until their own stint in the musical was finished.

    I met him at the stage door after Hairspray. He was so kind to all his fans, and even posed with the kids for photos. He made sure everyone who wanted to speak to him had their chance and was in no hurry to go. Really lovely guy. :)

    ps. I think the JB fans call themselves the Johnettes :D

    I am a professional performer in musical theatre and have been in productions with Michael Ball and know him reasonably well. I make no comment on his private life, that is entirely his own affair. But you need to spend about 60 seconds in the company of Mike and Cathy to see that they are clearly, and genuinely, devoted to each other and make each other very happy. He is a wonderful step-father and step-grandfather and his family all adore him. There is nothing ‘artificial’ about his home life.

    On a professional level, here I do feel moved to defend him. He is a superb company leader and is always generous with his time and advice. Indeed the younger members of the company tend to follow him around like besotted sheep. I have never heard a ‘me me me’ type phrase in all the years I’ve known him, well not one meant seriously anyway. He is wonderfully tactile but never in a sleazy way and he always shows complete respect for the women in the company. He does enjoy kissing women and he does have a wicked sense of humour.

    The one comment that I must take issue with is “I believe he's a bit of a diva too - he refuses to speak for hours before concerts to 'preserve his voice', and makes dismissive hand gestures if anyone tries to communicate verbally with him.”
    This is complete and utter nonsense. In 2009 he invited cameras backstage to film the buildup to his Royal Albert Hall concert, the minutes, and indeed seconds, before going on. He was his usual funny and supportive self. In fact he seeks out people to talk to in the moments before performing on any stage as a counter to nerves. He is the least precious person vocally I know, and believe me I know some who would easily fit the description in quotation marks.

    It is very easy to fire barbs at people you don’t know, we are all guilty of it. But this one doesn’t deserve it. If I needed to depend on a colleague for help during a performance, a kind word or an understanding wink or someone to fill in a forgotten line, I would choose Michael Ball over any other person in musical theatre. He is kindness and talent and grace and patience personified.
