The picture which THE 36-year-old uploaded received a fair amount of attention, with one fan just getting straight to the point “Nice penis, dude”
First, there was the deleting of photos, then the rumour of a split, then the words cheating were circulated. There was a song written and “cheating drama” and then a denial – just what is happening to the newly-wed couple?
According to Arrow actor, Colton himself, Jeff didn’t cheat – the song “Man It Sucks”, that he wrote and posted online, although referred a cheating partner wasn’t about his husband and actually about a “past relationship”. He also told his fans that Jeff was “an amazing man and that “he’d never cheat”.
But Colton has dropped the word “husband” from his Instagram profile late last week and deleted the hyphenated married name, “Haynes-Leatham.”
However, pictures from their marriage still remain on Jeff’s profile.

The 28-year-old Swedish-born producer, who worked with the likes of Madonna, Rita Ora and Leona Lewis died in Oman, his publicist, Diana Baron announced today.
In a statement, Baron said, “The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time.”

Avicii once joked that he was gay on Twitter saying, “Im not gay, my boyfriend is!” in 2015.
“I have family and friends that are gay and it’s an important issue for me. I grew up in Sweden. So it’s really not that much of an issue in Sweden the same way it is for gay marriage in America. Even within the society in general, at least from what I feel growing up.
“I’ve never had any friends being homophobic or never even heard any parents being homophobic. I’ve never even seen that. But in America, you still see homophobia. It’s getting better but you can tell that it still exists.”
The cause of his death has not been revealed, but he was active on social media up until just three days ago.
In 2014 he had both his appendix and gallbladder removed.
