Billy Porter Hard Launches Relationship With Eric Anderson

by

Billy Porter is revealing his new duet partner.

The actor from Pose publicly announced his relationship with Eric Anderson on social media, sharing a look at their new romance with his fans.

Billy, 56, and Eric are pictured happily together, with Eric’s arm around Billy and holding his hand. Billy shared the photo on Instagram on October 23rd with the caption, “#datenight,” seemingly confirming their relationship.

Billy and Eric looked happy in another Instagram Story photo, posing with two friends after their dinner together.

Okay, so Billy’s been pretty private about his relationship, but let me tell you, it’s definitely heating up! Eric, on the other hand, has been a little more open – he actually shared sweet moments with Billy back in June during Pride celebrations, and again in July when he couldn’t help but express how happy he is. It’s adorable to see them so in love and sharing those glimpses with us!

Eric shared a photo from July 28th showing him and his partner dressed in matching black and white, captioning it, “Perfect date night in the city with my love.”

Even though Eric and Billy haven’t spent much time together lately, Eric recently posted a touching birthday message for the former Kinky Boots star.

Eric shared a sweet birthday message to Billy Porter on September 21st, posting a photo of them both smiling. He wrote that he was thankful for Billy’s life and presence, and expressed his love, saying he was grateful to be with him. It wasn’t just about celebrating a birthday, but also about appreciating life and everything they share.

This is Billy’s first public relationship since his divorce from Adam Smith, which was finalized in 2023. A representative for Billy told People magazine that the split was friendly and they both agreed it was the right decision after careful thought.

Shortly after the split, Billy talked about his future and what he hoped to find in a new relationship.

As a huge fan, it really touched me when Stephen Stills recently shared some honest thoughts with The Evening Standard. He admitted relationships are tough, and while speaking about Adam, he made it clear there’s absolutely no animosity between them. He said he’ll always cherish their time together, and they simply reached the natural end of their journey. It’s inspiring to see him embrace growth and look forward to what’s next – he called it his next ‘adventure,’ and I’m excited for him!

I overheard him excitedly announce that she was single again and actively seeking a husband – an English husband, he emphasized! And it wasn’t just ‘husband,’ oh no – he made sure we knew it had to be spelled ‘huzzzband,’ with all those ‘z’s! It was quite a moment, honestly.
