fancy man
Woman's secret beau
A fancy man is a woman's lover, especially one she supports financially—a kept man or male mistress.
The term often implies the man is stylish or well-dressed, maintained in comfort by his patron.
It can also mean a pimp, someone who lives off a prostitute's earnings.
The expression is somewhat old-fashioned: She spent her inheritance on a fancy man half her age.
