In interviews, Galliano has given his full name as Juan Carlos Antonio Galliano-Guillén.[1] He had a relationship with fellow Central St Martins student and fashion designer John Flett (1963–1991), whom Galliano described as his "soulmate".[52] Galliano currently shares his Paris home with his long-term partner Alexis Roche, a style consultant.[52][53] He is vegetarian for health reasons, telling French Elle that "The energy that I get from having fewer toxins in my body is extraordinary."[54]
