Bill T. Jones & Bjorn Amelan

What happens when two artists fall in love? Well, they create a beautiful life together. Before meeting each other though, Bill T. Jones and Bjorn Amelan were in a relationship with their long-term partners. Amelan is a successful photographer, sculptor, and designer. On the other hand, Jones is a choreographer, director, and dancer. He admitted that falling in love in their 40s was, to some degree, a very different experience than during their teens.

The two also said they were giddy at times, just thinking about each other. Jones had been encouraging Amelan to make things, something that he is good at. He also respects their individual lives as much as their shared time. The two are now living happily in New York, in a home bought in the 1980s. Jones and Amelan are now a regular part of the city’s cultural life.
