HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — While Meredith Baxter shared with the world Wednesday that she's been a lesbian for seven years, her longtime Family Ties costar, Michael Gross, says the Today Show revelation certainly wasn't a shocker to him.

"As far as I'm concerned it was pretty old news," Gross, who starred as Baxter's husband on the hit '80s sitcom, tells People.

The 62-year-old actor said he and his wife, Elza, have known about Baxter's sexuality for years, having last seen each other at a Family Ties reunion dinner in July.

"I am a lesbian and it was a later-in-life recognition," the 62-year-old actress revealed on Wednesday's Today Show. "Some people would say, well, you're living a lie and, you know, the truth is — not at all. This has only been for the past seven years."
