Rodrigo and Tyler’s history:
This engagement comes as Rodrigo and Tyler recently marked spending nearly a decade together. Rodrigo took to Instagram on July 4, where he revealed that he and Tyler were celebrating their 9-year anniversary. In the photos posted to his Instagram feed, Rodrigo and Tyler can be seen posing on a dock in casual outfits, then dressed up in tuxedos, posing together at a wedding.
“9 years of chaos: The Musical,” Rodrigo wrote in the caption about his relationship with his now fiancé, who works in Charleston as a physical therapist according to his Instagram bio. Earlier this summer, Tyler reflected on their relationship with Rodrigo, writing, “40 trips around the [sun] and 9 of them together. Here’s to many more!”
Rodrigo on coming out:
In an interview with Glaad.org, Rodrigo detailed the differing reactions he got from his parents. “My mom didn’t initially believe me. She thought I was just saying something to get under the skin. She was a hardheaded Latina which, you know, born and raised knowing how that that can be. It took her a lot longer to realize and accept that even though my oldest brother is 20 years older than me and he’s gay. For her, it took her some time to get used to it.”
His dad, on the other hand, took the news beautifully. “He literally was just like, ‘I love you. You’re my son.'” Take notes, parents.
