You may know Jim Parsons for playing the role of Sheldon on the hit television show The Big Bang Theory, which aired from 2007 to 2019. Parsons has also acted in other notable projects; he had a guest starring role in an episode of the show iCarly, he had a role in the film Hidden Figures, and played the role of Henry Wilson in Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood. Aside from television and film, he's done broadway plays. He was in the original Broadway production of the play A Normal Heart, which was later turned into a television series that he reprised his role in. In 2018, he did the Broadway revival of The Boys in the Band, which has now been turned into a Netflix movie that comes out on September 30, 2020. It features the original cast of the play, which includes Parsons, Matt Bomer, Charlie Carver, Andrew Rannells, and Zachary Quinto. And while we're familiar with Jim Parsons, we're eager to find out more about his husband, Todd Spiewak.

For their first date, they went to a karaoke bar and Spiewak sang the song “I Found Someone” by Cher. However, Parsons didn’t officially come out until 2012, so he kept his relationship under wraps for nearly a decade.

Spiewak and Parsons live in a four-unit duplex apartment across from Gramercy Park.
