Ben Platt and Noah Galvin, two former stars of Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, are officially dating!
The two have been quarantining together, along with their friend and fellow Broadway star Kathryn Gallagher, in the midst of the ongoing pandemic. Fans have been speculating on the nature of the two actor's relationship for months but Galvin recently confirmed it was more than just a friendship on a friend's podcast.
"Ben and I are dating," Galvin nervously opened up on the Little Known Facts with Ilana Levine podcast. "I asked him this morning, I was like, are we allowed to talk about this? And he’s like, 'Don’t go into our nitty-gritty, but yeah, people can know.' It’s still relatively new."
Platt is most known for his role on Pitch Perfect, as well as the Ryan Murphy-produced Netflix's dramedy The Politician. Galvin starred in Booksmart last year and lead the short-lived, underrated ABC sitcom The Real O'Neals. Both actors played the lead role of Evan in the Tony-Award winning musical, and they're not the only former Evans to end up in a relationship together—Taylor Trensch and Ben Levi Ross did it first.
"I know, it’s so incestuous," laughed Galvin. "But it makes sense, like, we all went through the war together. We all feel very connected."
It's unclear how long the two have been dating, but Galvin turned 26 just last week and revealed the adorable birthday present Platt spent months putting together for him.
"Long story short, Ben made me a birthday video," he said. "Ben very sweetly for the past, like, probably three months, has been putting together this video for me. It’s all my favorite drag queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race and beyond and all of my friends in drag, wishing me a happy birthday."
So cute! We're glad someone's still able to find happiness in all of this mess the world's in!
