Mathis Jr. and Cooper appeared on “Mathis Family Matters” in 2022. Judge Mathis revealed at the time that he encouraged his son to come out on the show.
“Greg and I had an [onscreen] discussion about him not sharing his sexuality or being gay with the general public, his friends and others,” he shared with E! News about Greg Jr. initially hiding his sexuality.
“I thought he had because he shared it with us at age 18 and moved to Washington, D.C. and has been there for over a decade and that’s a gay-friendly town,” Judge Mathis continued. “So I was shocked that he hadn’t, and there are moments there that are very emotional in the sense that I let him know that he has to fight.”

Greg Jr. told E! News that discussing his sexuality on national television was “one of the most vulnerable things I’ve ever had to do.”
According to Ice Cream Convos, his partner is a senior executive engineer and an LGBTQ+ advocate. Last year on “Mathis Family Matters,” he asked Cooper to move with him to Los Angeles. Watch the moment below.
