Billy Porter is single, but not exactly loving it.

It’s been just over a month since the Pose star Pose star announced that he and husband Adam Smith were getting a divorce after six years of marriage and he says that the single life is “bittersweet.”

Porter is getting used to being on his own, but told the Evening Standard that he’s in London on a working vacation, taking “a respite from some other s**t

“The whole world knows I’m getting a divorce,” he said in the interview.

The trip is “bittersweet” because Porter proposed to Smith in London at Jason Atherton’s City Social.

“It’s bittersweet,” he said. “But relationships are hard. I will always love him. We made it as far as we could. But we learn, we grow and we live. And I’m looking forward to the next... adventure.”

Porter, who recently admitted that he's having to sell his house amid the actors strike, told the outlet that despite the divorce being difficult he’s on the lookout for someone new.

“She’s back on the market! Looking for an English huzzzband! And you have to spell it just like that! Huzzzband!”

The former couple met at a dinner party in 2009 and dated for a year, before breaking up. But that didn’t last because the pair rekindled their relationship five years later and got married just two weeks after Porter proposed in 2017.
