As long as he takes the place of that plastic George Kotsiopoulos.

Isn’t that “husband”? “longtime partner” is sooo 20th century. They’re married, aren’t they?

- I’m pretty sure they’re not married. I recall Harris mentioned on twitter that they discussed marriage after it passed in NY but clarified that they have no immediate plans to get married.

They are like Brangelina in the sense that they are married but without the title. They are all-round great people it seems.
