I do not. While a politician should rightly be held to fairly lofty standards, the public really doesn't have a claim to know the intimate details of his/her personal/romantic life. It is another story if they choose to make this information public; but otherwise, there is no legitimate basis for the public to know this. In the vast majority of cases the information and activities have no bearing on the politician's ability to do their job.
