mateo caldwell, 25, faulkner - adopted when he was eight from guadalajara | his parents renamed him matthew but he still goes by mateo | it’s a weird story | raised in a strict baptist household | grew up very frustrated and felt stifled | threw himself into soccer until he hurt his knee | only time he felt super close to his mom was when he cooked with her | his passion for cooking continued as he got older | culinary school grad and now a line cook | got married three years ago | has a two year old son, benji | jez is his best friend in the whole world | but he’s cheating on her with a man | realized he was gay when he was seventeen | never came out | everything is perfect with jez minus there being no real romantic spark | and the sex is terrible | his life is a mess | but at least his abs are nice
