Frasier star and Tony-nominated actor David Hyde Pierce is officially out of the closet. But was he pushed?

AfterElton.com reports that a recent AP article casually alluded to Pierce's "partner," Brian Hargrove. While this normally wouldn't ring any alarms, Pierce, 48, has never spoken about the topic publicly, and has previously said "I don't talk about my personal life."

When the website called Pierce's reps to confirm the pairing, they were told that the AP story was accurate.

The announcement comes shortly after Pierce was controversially named in Out Magazine's "Gay Power List." While AfterElton claims that Pierce's sexuality "has always been an open secret within the artistic community," it looks like he, like Lance Bass, T.R. Knight and Neil Patrick Harris before him, was nudged by the press to make it officially known.
