Personal Life
Buckley is openly gay and lives with his husband, Michael Donegan, in Connecticut with their five dogs Ellie, George, Colin, Buddy and Lucy.
Buckley has a twin sister, Debbie. To show his fans his "softer side", Buckley began to vlog about their home life on his peron75 YouTube channel, and used to appear live on BlogTV.
In June 2010, Buckley had Lasik eye surgery, but continues to wear empty frames in order to keep his appearance the same and to placate fans who see the glasses as part of his image. Buckley posted a video of his surgery on YouTube, in which he repeated his pledge to continue wearing his glasses on "What the Buck" - though he sometimes appears without them during his BlogTV shows.
