A term coined among theater kids, a backstage boyfriend is the male counterpart in a (sometimes romantic) relationship between two actors or crew members that goes on strictly during production time. The backstage boyfriend is often seen alongside his female counterpart during rehearsals, intermissions, and cast parties; attached at the hip. This kind of relationship usually ends after the show closes and may resume during the next. The rest of the cast and crew can see that there is something going on between the two, but they often strictly deny it.
Friend 1: dude, what is going on with those two? Are they together or something?
Friend 2: Nah, that’s just her backstage boyfriend. It’s nothing serious.

This is the person with whom you reunited, for whatever reason, after previously ending a relationship. He/She was your ex-boy/girlfriend and now is your y-boy/girlfriend. The term was created to facilitate communication. The homonym was appropriate for the reasons everyone asks.
“My y-boyfriend and I are going to his cousin’s wedding.” The listener can understand how that experience may be different than if you were a new, current, or just a friendly date. In general, the listener understands that you have had a relationship with this person, parted with them, grown, and reunited after working out your problems….or not, so some say, “Why?”
