Jim Parsons has been with his producer husband Todd Spiewak for the past seven years and counting.
The two met during a blind date at a karaoke bar in NYC in 2002, thanks to mutual friends and the rest was history.
Jim recalled the special moment with People: “My husband and I met on Nov. 15, 2002. I’ll never forget that late fall into the holidays when we spent so much time together just falling more in love. Every time there’s that smell when the air gets cold in New York, it always reminds me.”
The actor decided to come out to his family about his sexuality once the two fell for each other.
He revealed to Variety: “No offence to the lovely men I dated before Todd, but somewhere deep inside, I immediately knew that there was no choice left but to deal with this, because to not let them in on this person I had met was to officially start putting up these lifelong barriers.”
They tied the knot in 2017 at an intimate ceremony at the Rockefeller Centre’s Rainbow Room.
The entertainer shared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: “To be in love, to find a love in that way, is as close to anything I can imagine doing in life that brings me close to the feeling of God — or whatever that is for you.”

Apart from having a great work-life balance, the pair are also doting parenting to their dogs Tootsie, Rufus and Stevie. Todd loves painting his fur babies as one of his hobbies.
Jim shared on The View: “We have a very, very happy life.”
