Sorry, Gays… Conrad Ricamora Is Off the Market After Getting Married (We’re Happy for Them or Whatever)

Conrad Ricamora is having an amazing few years professionally. He starred in the smash hit Fire Island (Hulu) from Joel Kim Booster and Andrew Ahn, and he's currently starring on Broadway in Here Lies Love, the musical from David Byrnes and Fat Boy Slim about Imelda Marcos featuring an entirely Filipino cast (a historic first). Now, his personal life just became pretty spectacular, as well. The out-gay actor just got married to Peter Wesley Jensen at New York's City Hall, and the happy couple posted to Instagram with some adorably updated names.

Posting to social media, the gorgeous star wrote, "Happily hyphenated" adding, "Introducing the Ricamora-Jensens." His husband has updated his private Instagram account to reflect the name change, but Ricamora's still has just the one name, probably for professional reasons.

It's not 100% clear how long the two had been seeing each other before they tied the knot, but they have been popping up at major industry events, hand-in-hand. The two appeared together at a BAFTA event honoring Shonda Rhimes in May, which makes sense given Ricamora's history working with the powerhouse writer/producer. Though he's had major roles in film and Broadway in the last year, Ricamora made a name for himself starring in Rhimes' iconic Viola Davis vehicle How to Get Away With Murder. In the show, Ricamora played Oliver, an HIV-positive tech wiz who's no stranger to hacking a computer or two.

Though he's absolutely gorgeous and an outstanding actor, Ricamora also has one hell of a voice. In addition to starring in Here Lies Love on Broadway, he previously starred in the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors as nerdy heartthrob Seymour. The cast was featured on NPR's long-running beloved "Tiny Desk Concert" where he got to show off his pipes. It all sounds amazing, but a personal favorite moment for me definitely occurs at around the 7:00-minute mark when he belts out a soulful "I don't know!" in the famous song "Feed Me."

Though gays around the world are bummed to know he's off the market, the Ricamora-Jensens are an absolutely beautiful couple who look genuinely happy together. We need more of that in the world these days, and to have their Queer selves be so joyous so visibly is a really wonderful statement. Congrats to the happy couple!
