Billy Porter and Adam Smith

Billy Porter, the actor, singer, and writer, and Adam Smith had every reason to celebrate as they have completed five years of marriage, but the two share a longer history than that. The first time they met was way back in February 2009 at a dinner party for mutual friends. Smith sat next to Porter, which he later learned was by design and not a happy coincidence.

Porter had candidly said that while on the way to the party, he had spotted Smith on the street, and he was sure that he wanted to know more about him.

That casual encounter became the foundation of a long-lasting relationship. They were kind of enamored with each other right from the start. Still, in 2010, the couple parted ways. They were apart for five years when they realized that they were meant to be together in 2015, Porter popped the question in 2017, and just a few weeks later, the two made things official and tied the knot.
