It has now been nearly a year since pop icon Michael Jackson has passed away, but that isn't going to stop someone from coming out and revealing that towards the end of Jackson's life, he had an intimate gay relationship with a man named Jason Pfeiffer.

The story was broke to the tabloid Extra. Jackson - who's sexual orientation has often been in question - was obviously a private person personally with his children and his short-lived marriages, but was often in the media spotlight prior to his death in late June 2009.

His alleged relationship with Pfeiffer, his-then assistant to his dermatologist, began in 2008 when the two allegedly met in his fathers dermatology office. Pfeiffer told Extra that the relationship was both "passionate and sexual."

"We were just sitting there and we both started to cry and I got up and went over to him and said its going to be OK Michael," Pfeiffer revealed to the tabloid. "We hugged, and it was kind of then that the hug was a little bit more.

It wasn't until a few months later that it was obvious that Michael had feelings for me as well. I just assumed that he was probably bisexual. I know we loved each other, I know he told me that all the time. I believe that he was probably my soul mate."

The relationship has been confirmed by Pefifers father Dr. Arnold Klein. He even claims that he saw both of them together at one point. "When you see two people looking at each other you know what's happening. I was just very happy for both of them," the doctor said.

Pfeiffer has a dozens of voicemails that Jackson left him. He admits that the reason he came out with the story nearly a year after his death because he wanted to "set the record straight."
