Matt Bomer publicly acknowledge he's
gay in 2012. Now the 36-year-old actor tells fashion glossy
Details magazine that he married Simon Halls, a publicist with
Slate PR, a year earlier.
Bomer first acknowledged the
relationship – and his sexual orientation – while accepting an
award at the Desert AIDS Project's Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards in
Palm Spring, where he thanked Halls and their three children.
“I'd really especially like to thank
my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry. Thank you for
teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my
proudest accomplishment,” he said in 2012.
In the upcoming HBO film The Normal
Heart, director Ryan Murphy's film adaptation of Larry Kramer's
Tony-winning play, Bomer plays Felix, a gay man dying of AIDS during
the early days of the pandemic in New York City.
“I wouldn't have a lot of the rights
I have today if it wasn't for people like Larry [Kramer],” Bomer
told Details.
