The Traitors US star Reza Farahan has claimed he had a “threesome” style relationship with celebrity trainer Bob Harper and Bob’s late husband Scott in his memoir.

First available to purchase yesterday (7 April), the book titled Gay Shah: My Story of Family, Fame, and Becoming a King goes into detail about his and Harper’s relationship.

According to Reza, after the pair met while working as trainers at a studio, they became “best friends” and later their relationship turned into something more sexual.

“Bob and I carried on like that for a good while. It was very much a friends-with-benefits situation, though,” wrote the reality star.

“I wanted more, but I always got the feeling he wasn’t interested in any kind of serious relationship with anybody, so I didn’t really push the matter.”

The Shahs of Sunset star wrote: “Bob and I still ended up falling totally in love. For a while, Bob was bouncing back and forth between Scott and me.”

He described the ending as “a bit bittersweet”, adding: “Poor Scott, who I honestly harboured no ill will toward even though I was chasing his husband, ended up passing away. And even though Bob and I didn’t last forever, we remain friends to this day.”

The turbulent relationship made him realise he wanted something serious, more stable and long-term, resulting in his marriage to Adam Neely in 2015 in Palm Springs. They remain wedded today.

Harper has been in a relationship with Anton Gutierrez since at least 2016, later marrying in 2019 and announcing the big day on his Instagram.

In Farahan’s memoir, he confirmed the two remain friends, despite his former relationship with Harper and his late husband.
