The former Heroes star told his family he was gay when he was 24, but it wasn't until last year he came out publicly for the first time in a New York magazine interview. He told Out, “I thought about it as coming out from behind the wall. Walls now are only as high or as thick or as strong as we allow them to be.”
"One of the defining conversations that I had with myself was that absolutely no good can come from me staying quiet about my sexuality. . . Literally, no good can come from it. But if I take the step to make the acknowledgment and be honest, so much good could potentially come from it," he added.
Although no other details about the relationship were given, the 35-year-old admitted he really wants to have a family one day. "I definitely want kids," he says. "I want to share."
