Platt, who won a Tony for playing the title role in the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen, and Galvin, who succeeded him in the part, revealed their relationship in May 2020. And in a June 2021 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Platt said he’d been dating Galvin for a year and a half. “We were friends for five years and right before the pandemic, we finally decided to really give it a shot,” he said at the time, per People. “We kind of skated around it for a long time.”
And in a New York Times interview this October, Platt confirmed that he had known Galvin for “three or four years” before his now-fiancé took over as Evan Hansen. “There’s this lore that [Dear Evan Hansen is] how we met, but it’s not,” he explained. “But it’s nice to have that detail of him understanding deeply what that experience was. And I feel very lucky to be with him — he’s changed my perspective, and made things, in a very positive way, feel a bit smaller and more manageable.”
On television, Galvin starred in the ABC sitcom The Real O’Neals and currently plays Asher Wolke on The Good Doctor.
Platt, meanwhile, starred in the Netflix comedy-drama The Politician and appeared in Will & Grace and The Premise. Along with Kristen Bell, Allison Janney, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson, he stars in the comedy film The People We Hate at the Wedding, which started streaming on Prime Video on November 18.
