Hollywood’s Most Famous LGBT Entertainers And Their Partners

For these celebrities, they met their other half by chance rather than dating online. We may not have all the details about their first meet-cute, first date, or first kiss, but we have made a list of the most well-known LGBT entertainers in Hollywood and their partners. Click through and see that love is indeed in the air!

Antonio Douthit-Boyd and Kirven Douthit-Boyd

It is definitely an understatement calling these two talented dancers! Antonio Douthit-Boyd first met Kirven Douthit-Boyd at the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. The couple said “I do!” back in 2013. Together, Antonio and Kirven dance and travel the world – now that sounds really special.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi

This list would not be complete without one of the biggest power couples in Hollywood, Ellen, and Portia. As you may already know, Ellen is among the most well-known talk show hosts on TV but on a personal level, she has also been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for the work she has done in regard to LGBT rights. In 2004, Ellen started dating the actress, model, and philanthropist Portia De Rossi. In 2008, the couple exchanged vows.

Kordale Lewis and Kaleb Anthony

Kordale Lewis and Kaleb Anthony went viral because of Instagram. The couple’s joint account featured their love story as well as life with Kordale’s three biological children (and their son who was born in 2016). The attention the couple was getting on Instagram attracted the interest of Acne Studios, a luxury fashion house based in Sweden. Because of the campaign that followed Kordale, Kaleb and their family, they went down in history as the first ever black gay family who represented a high-end fashion house.

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka are another power couple who has made the list. These two are definitely relationship goals and we bet we’re on the same page as everyone on this. Harris and Burtka have an extensive list of accomplishments but we’re focusing on the couple’s love story here. Even though they kept mum about their engagement for five years until they made it official back in 2014, before they got married, they welcomed their twins, Harper and Gideon, in 2010 via surrogacy.

Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison

You don’t really need to be told that Jodie Foster is regarded as one of her generation’s greatest actresses, right? Well, she is married to another actress Alexandra Hedison, who is also an artist and a director. Foster likes to keep her marriage on the down-low and while we don’t really know how the couple met, but we bet that online dating wasn’t a part of it.

Raven-Symoné and AzMarie Livingston

Former child star and The View co-host, 31-year-old Raven-Symoné dated 30-year-old AzMarie Livingston, a fashion model, singer, and actress, for three years, but they unfortunately split in 2015.

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor

These super talented actresses started dating in 2015 despite their huge age gap. Paulson is 42 years old while Taylor is 74. Anyway, since when did age ever stopped anyone?

Jenna Lyons and Courtney Crangi

Jenna Lyons and Courtney Crangi have been dating since 2012 and so many are thrilled for the two! The couple is currently living with Courtney’s son named Beckett in Tribeca.

Cara Delevingne and Annie Clark

Welp, ever since she emerged into the modeling scene back in 2009, Cara Delevingne’s career has skyrocketed from there, though she’s focusing more on acting these days. Then when it was reported that Delevingne was in a relationship with musician Annie Clark, also known as St. Vincent, social media went crazy. Unfortunately, it seems the two were not meant to be and they broke up in 2016.

Nick Denton and Derrence Washington

Derrence Washington and Nick Denton, founder and former proprietor of Gawker, tied the knot in May of 2014. Not only are they a power couple, but they’re also one couple who is crazy in love!

Octavius and Jamal Terry-Sims

Octavius Marsion, the fashion designer, and Jamal Sims, director, celebrity choreographer and brand designer, created GROOM, which is a full-service lounge that offers tuxedos for groomsmen and grooms. Also, we mustn’t forget the amazing moment at the Grammy Awards in 2014, when Marsion and Sims tied the knot as Macklemore and Ryan Lewis performed their hit “Same Love” together with Madonna.

Darren Young and Nick Villa

Darren Young, the WWE superstar, dropped a bomb when he said he was gay in an interview with TMZ in 2013. Young also added that he and Nick Villa had been in a committed relationship for two years. Young later told Ellen DeGeneres his reason for coming out: “I wanted to be able to bring my boyfriend to WWE events.”

Michael Sam and Vito Cammisano

When Michael Sam got drafted to the St. Louis Rams of the NFL, he became really emotional (makes sense; it’s the NFL after all). The draft was actually broadcast live on TV and Sam gave his boyfriend, Vito Cammisano, a kiss. Sam and Cammisano (both University of Missouri alums) had been dating for several months when they made the announcement in January 2015 that they were engaged. However, in June of that same year, the two ended their engagement as well as their relationship.

Anderson Cooper and Benjamin Maisani

Undoubtedly, news anchor Anderson Cooper is someone you’re familiar with, right? Welp, Cooper has been dating Benjamin Maisani, a gay bar owner, since 2009. The two own a house in Connecticut.

Kendrell Bowman And Anthony Wayne

Anthony Wayne debuted on Broadway in Anything Goes in 2011 while Kendrell Bowman works as an image consultant and a celebrity stylist. Together, however, they’re one power couple. They are co-creators of the Off-Broadway musical You Make Me Feel Mighty Real: A Sylvester Concert which became a massive success. Wayne also directed and starred in the musical while Bowman was the creative director/costume designer.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita

Many people would agree that Jesse Ferguson is synonymous with the hit TV show Modern Family. Ferguson and Justin Mikita tied the knot in 2013, but they opted not to get traditional wedding presents. Instead, the couple asked the guests at their wedding to donate any amount they would like to the couple’s marriage equality charity called ‘Tie the Knot’. Isn’t that impressive?

Chely Wright and Lauren Blitzer

In case you didn’t know who Lauren Blitzer is, she is an author who is best known for having written Same Sex in the City: So Your Prince Charming Is Really a Cinderella. Her spouse is country musician Chely Wright.

Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter

This romance is fresh out of the oven! You’ve probably heard of the famous singer, Miley Cyrus. Well, she and her actor husband, Liam Hemsworth, have recently split. Before the fans could be too upset, Miley was seen getting cozy with the reality star, Kaitlynn Carter, on a boat in Italy. Funny enough, Kaitlynn is in the same situation as Miley right now. She and her Kardashian-Jenner husband, Brody Jenner, just called it quits. It seems like these two were hitting it off seeing as they’ve been spending all their time together as of late. From going to clubs to hanging out with Miley’s mom, Tish, it looks like they’re having a blast.

Sam Smith and Brandon Flynn

The Internet went crazy when English singer, songwriter Sam Smith announced he and Brandon Flynn of 13 Reasons Why were together. For two huge icons, we’re surprised how quiet they’re keeping their relationship. But hey, good for them…privacy is key!

Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef

When Ricky Martin went on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he admitted that he and Syrian-Swedish painter Jwan Yosef are actually engaged. We don’t know about you, but we think this couple is just gorgeous!

Luke Evans and Jon Kortajarena

First off, on-again-off-again relationships are not really a surprise to anyone, so we definitely love Luke Evans and Jon Kortajarena’s relationship. And one more thing, if only we were privy to Evans’ beauty regimen, we bet we wouldn’t need any dental implants ever.

Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli

This is one Orange is the New Black match that is made in heaven. Samira Wiley plays the character Poussey Washington, while Lauren Morelli is one of the show’s writers. They got engaged in October 2016 and they got hitched in March 2017.

George Takei and Brad Altman

80-year-old George Takei is best known for playing Hikaru Sulu on the Star Trek franchise, and apart from that, he has more than 10 million followers on his social media but you will have to follow the star to find out the reason. We suggest you prep your abs, though, because you will be hysterically laughing for some time. In case you didn’t know, Takei is a big LGBT advocate but he only announced in 2005 that he and writer Brad Altman had been in a committed relationship for 18 years. These two tied the knot in 2008.

Lance Bass and Michael Turchin

Just so we’re N’SYNC (yup, that joke was totally necessary), Lance Bass and painter Michael Turchin started dating in 2011. The two exchanged vows in 2014 and they were the first ever same-sex couple whose nuptials were seen on cable TV. It was titled Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding.

Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni

Next up on the list are the amazingly talented Elton John and dazzling filmmaker David Furnish. This couple met in the year 1993 and they entered a civil partnership in 2005.

Kristen Stewart and Stella Maxwell

Twilight star Kristen Stewart and Irish Victoria’s Secret Angel and model Stella Maxwell reportedly started dating in 2016. You may think of this pair if you try to think of a couple who is young, beautiful and successful.

Tom Ford and Richard Buckley

Whoa, this relationship has to be applauded even if it is only for the fact that Tom Ford has been together with Richard Buckley since 1986. Yes, you read that right. That’s more than 30 years of being an item! They officially tied the knot in 2014.

Wanda Sykes and Alex Sykes

Well, Wanda Sykes does not really need any introduction, so we will go directly to the love story. In November 2008, Wanda made the announcement that she was gay and only one month later, she got married to Alex, whom she met two years before. One year after their wedding, the couple became parents to twins, Lucas and Olivia.

Michael Kors and Lance Lepere

It is quite an understatement calling these two the most fashionable couple, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less true. In the year 2011, Michael Kors and Lance Lepere had two milestones in their relationship – they got engaged and tied the knot. Now that’s awesome!

Jim Parsons and Todd Spiewak

Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner

Even though Lily Tomlin’s greatness was first introduced in the ‘60s, her legacy will forever live on. Tomlin and her wife didn’t meet through online dating, which makes sense because the two met in 1971. After being together for 42 years, Tomlin and Wagner said “I do!” on December 31, 2013.

Melissa Etheridge and Linda Wallem

The 56-year-old activist, guitarist, and singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge tied the knot with producer and actress Linda Wallem back in 2014 – only two days after both Etheridge and Wallem turned 53!

RuPaul and Georges LeBar

Owing to the show RuPaul’s Drag Race, RuPaul’s life is pretty high profile but he still manages to keep his love life private.

In 2014, when same-sex marriage became legal in California, Manilow and Kief got hitched.

Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent
