Best-selling author Terry McMillan and her gay ex-husband reunited on television yesterday, and he finally admitted he had sex with other men during their six-year marriage."I had to act on my curiosity," Jonathan Plummer, 30, said on "Oprah" as his former wife rolled her eyes. "I had to see whether or not I was gay or straight or confused."
McMillan, 54, the author of "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," finalized her divorce last month from Plummer, a Jamaican-born boy toy she picked up at a resort.
After a judge ruled that Plummer couldn't challenge the prenuptial agreement he signed in 1998, he got only $50,000 in the divorce settlement.
The breakup was phenomenally bitter, with Plummer claiming McMillan harassed him with gay slurs and McMillan saying he married her for a green card and money.
But the couple seems to have patched things up a bit. Plummer recently stayed the night at McMillan's, and while they didn't get romantic, they did take a bath together.
"I was on my side and she was on her side," Plummer said.
"It was sort of like closure," McMillan added.
The marriage crumbled last year when Plummer told McMillan he might be gay, and she said she wanted to bash his face in with a halogen lamp.
At the time, he denied ever acting on his impulses. But under questioning by Oprah Winfrey, he confessed to having affairs before the split.
"I didn't do anything to jeopardize my health nor Terry's health," he said, apparently referring to McMillan's rants that she could have been exposed to the AIDS virus.
McMillan conceded that when she married Plummer after a three-year courtship, she didn't expect it to last because of the 24-year age difference.
"He was like having a new puppy," she said. "You treat them good and you give them unconditional love, and they will lick you and love you back."
Plummer insisted he did love McMillan and didn't know he was gay until two years ago.
"I still love her and I always will," he said.
