Last week on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, the last queens are tasked with harking back to Wizard of Oz star and homosexual icon, Judy Garland. Before the challenge, RuPaul reminded the All Stars about Judy's affect in the homosexual community, how her funeral sparked the infamous Stonewall Riots, and the undeniable fact that closeted homosexual men once used the secret code, "Are you a friend of Dorothy's?" to spot every different. 

Judy is unsurprisingly also the reason why RuPaul calls his closest friends his "best Judys"  — and why he invited Latrice Royal, Manila Luzon, Trinity the Tuck Taylor, Naomi Smalls, Monét X Change, and Monique Heart's "best Judys" to help in the makeover problem. 

While most of the queens are very open about their relationships — Latrice just tied the knot with her boo Christopher — RuPaul used to be shocked to peer that Trinity, 34, had a boyfriend named Leo Llanos. 

"Leo really is my best friend, he's my partner," Trinity says on the display. "I've really missed him so much." RuPaul also took the time to indicate, "I think they're closer friends then we thought." 

So, who's Trinity the Tuck's boyfriend, Leo?

Leo is a skilled artist, photographer, and dressmaker — and is if truth be told the man chargeable for the now iconic halo crown Trinity wore all through the Angelic White runway previous this season. "Feathered halo crown by me," he wrote on social media. "Took me many hours but it [came] out beautifully." 

One have a look at his Instagram page also reveals that he is Trinity's No. 1 fan. "There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words and still not understand you," he wrote of his "bae" Trinity. "And then there is that one person who will understand you without you even speaking a word."

And the feeling is mutual. "This week is dedicated to celebrating my relationship with this man," Trinity captioned a photograph of the couple. "Be proud of who you love! Love is love and love always wins!"

Alongside every other photograph, Trinity added, "Relationships are hard! They are about compromising and accepting each other’s flaws along with the strengths! If you put in the work and patience it’s so worth it! I am so blessed to have [Leo] as my partner in crime!"

Trinity and Leo seemingly started courting two years ago — Trinity shared her first photo with Leo in May 2017 — and have been going robust ever since. 

Wait, why is Trinity's nickname The Tuck? 

Trinity earned the nickname for obvious causes, but she defined how she mastered the art form in a contemporary interview. 

"I started tucking immediately from the beginning of drag. After I got my body done and was showing it more, I had to figure out a way to make the tuck tighter and smaller because there was no [padding or] protection between me and the real world," she instructed The Standard. "I just focused on figuring out what worked, and finding specific ways to fold the tape and position things. A lot of girls actually do a tuck like me, but a lot of girls don’t. Like Valentina, she literally looked like she had a diaper on during Season 9. The worst tuck of the show was Sasha Velour; it was bulky. Several times. I think she’s fixed it since, though."

Anyway, again to Leo. He was once excited to be on the show — and be transformed into Trinity's drag sister (family resemblance required) ahead of appearing a musical tribute to Judy on the VH1 fact festival. 

We're positive Trinity's drag mother Jordan Kennedy will approve. 

Watch RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Fridays at 8 p.m. on VH1.
