A couple of years ago Matt Bomer came out during a Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards speech when he thanked, “My beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry. Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment.’
‘Simon’ is his longtime partner, publicist Simon Halls.
However what he didn’t mention at the time is that he and Simon actually tied the knot a year before his February 2012 speech. The fact is included in a new interview in Details magazine, which subtly mentions, ‘Bomer married his longtime partner, the Hollywood publicity executive Simon Halls, in 2011.’
They also have three sons: one of whom is eight, along with six-year-old twins.
Bomer is mainly talking to Details about the upcoming The Normal Heart, saying that Larry Kramer’s play had a profound effect on him growing up. He says as teenager, “I was clueless and obviously in a different place in relation to my sexuality. I was in romantic relationships with girls—whatever that means at 14. And it [The Normal Heart] completely rocked my world…It’s just an amazing call to arms.”
It ensured that when a film version finally started coming together he was keen to be part of it in any capacity, eventually landing the role of Felix Turner. You can watch The Normal Heart trailer here.
