The Truth About Andrew Rannells Boyfriend

Tuc Watkins opened up to the Daily Beast in September 2020 about the beginning of his relationship with Andrew Rannells, and it's clear sparks flew from the beginning. "I remember thinking, this is going to be great, because Hank and Larry spend the entire play bickering and angry and resentful towards each other," Watkins recalled. "So to create that relationship with someone who is caring and thoughtful and lovely, we had a great experience." Eventually, the relationship made it off the stage, too. "I woke up one day and realized, I think I really like this guy," Watkins.

Watkins is the father of twins Catchen and Curtis, who were born via surrogate. It was after the birth of his children that he decided to come out. He publicly came to Marie Osmond on her talk show Marie in 2013, opening up about being a gay dad. "I come from 20 years of working in an industry that felt like I wasn't safe saying who I was, telling the truth about who I was authentically," he reflected later to the Daily Beast. "But something toggled over after I had kids. I thought it doesn't make sense to not tell the truth about who I am with kids next to me. I didn't want them to look up and see that they had a dad who was afraid to tell the truth."
