Comedian Matteo Lane Marries His Boyfriend Rodrigo Aburto
The two got hitched in a surprise ceremony over the weekend.
It’s official: Matteo Lane is a married man.
Over the weekend, the comedian shared the news of this joyous occasion by posting a reel of himself and his now husband, dancer Rodrigo Aburto, kissing and tossing confetti. The caption was just a series of emoji: two men and a wedding ring. ‘Nuff said.
Aburto was a little more forthcoming when he posted a few photos of the couple on their big day to his Instagram. “Thank u Instagram, now I’m married,” he wrote.
Friends and fans were delighted by the news and shared their excitement in the comments.
“PRE-NUP!!! I mean, CONGRATULATIONS!!!” wrote fellow comic Alex Mapa.
“Congrats!!!” added Gus Kentworthy.
Nicole Byer added a series of hearts to the comments.
“Crying tears of joy,” commented Michelle Buteau
“Aweee,” added Jonathan Van Ness.
Previously, Lane dished on his romance with Aburton on an episode of Sibling Rivalry. “I have not felt this way in a very long time, I am very happy,” he told hosts Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change.
Lane and Aburto first met on Instagram, where Lane says they flirted in the DMs before moving to FaceTime where the two would talk all day. Eventually, Lane says, Aburto said he wanted to meet in person. Matteo had a few days off, so Aburto flew in from Mexico City. In the moments before they met, Lane says he started having second thoughts about having a strange man in his house, but that quickly changed. “The second I met him, I literally thought to myself, ‘Oh this man is going to be in my life for a very long time’,” he shared.
Turns out he was right. Congrats to the happy couple!
