William Bast was one of Dean's closest friends, a fact acknowledged by Dean's family.

Some time after Dean's death, he stated that he and Dean had been lovers. William Bast revealed that his relationship with Dean was more than a platonic bromance. Bast claimed he “experimented” with Dean and that things sometimes got sexual.
