Kendrell Bowman and Anthony Wayne are more than just a same-gender couple; they are best friends and collaborators in the same Broadway show, the critically acclaimed Mighty Real: A Fabulous Sylvester Musical. To make a musical with the love of your life is the sort of situation some couples dream of being involved in, and these two are surely proud of their “baby”.

Cynthia Nixon (53) & Christine Marinoni (52) – Met Right After Cynthia’s Divorce

In 2003, actress Cynthia Nixon was going over her break-up with Danny Mozes, an actor she was married to since 1988. In that same year, she met Christine Marinoni, an education activist and policy analyst with whom she fell in love immediately. It was her first publicly confirmed relationship with a woman, but it’s one built to last.

These two lovebirds became engaged in 2009 and welcomed their first son two years after. In a recent interview, Cynthia confessed she had never been with a woman before and that she considers love to be gender-neutral. In 2012, Cynthia and Christine celebrated their love with a wedding ceremony.

Billy Porter (50) & Adam Smith (37) – Got Married in a Hurry in 2017

You have probably seen Billy Porter before; the notable Broadway actor is known for his flamboyant red carpet appearances and undeniable talent for singing, acting, and stealing away the show. His husband, however, seems to have a more discreet personality. He’s Adam Smith, a much-younger businessman who is the co-owner of the eyewear brand Native Ken.

This lovely duo tied the knot in 2017, a few months after getting engaged. They wanted to get married while Barack Obama was still the president of the United States. For that reason, they ended up rushing the ceremony.
