Whether smiling at Instagram pictures of the cast or re-watching each episode (because once is never enough), fans know that the Queer Eye cast are wonderful, unique, and caring. Tan France, Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski, and Jonathan Van Ness each have their own area of expertise on the Netflix reality series, but they've all got one thing in common: they have fanbases who love them so much. There are tons of funny Queer Eye memes that showcase how special this show is.
Jonathan Van Ness recently let his fans know that he got married last year, so let's take a look at everything we know about his marriage to Mark Peacock.
A 2020 Wedding
The stars have said that filming Queer Eye can bring up emotions and that definitely makes sense, as people go through so many massive changes in their life.
As it turns out, JVN had a big life update for his followers recently.
In an Instagram post sharing the highlights of 2020, Jonathan Van Ness said that they got married last year. JVN started by saying, "Thank you universe for allowing me to be here & thanks to everyone who has supported me. 2020 was a year unlike any other." The post mentioned becoming more politically active and talked about how much he loves his mom. He also talked about the friendships that have meant a lot to him.
In the middle of the caption, Van Ness said, "I got married to my best friend & have a loving partner to continue building my life with."
JVN and Peacock got married in the backyard of a house they rented this past summer.
Fans have been so thrilled to hear the good news, especially those who have gotten to know Jonathan Van Ness on Queer Eye and witnessed their compassionate and caring personality that always lights up a room.
The Relationship
According to Out.com, JVN shared that while they were on a comedy tour in London, England, they were going on dates with Peacock. This was in October of 2019.
JVN wrote on Instagram, "At the end of that time I was taking my mom, aunt [and] friends on a mini-break to Amsterdam. 'I wanted [Mark] to come with but, was it a bit intense to ask Mark to come after a couple [weeks' worth] of dates to come meet my mom [and] friends on a mini break? Maybe so, but something about Mark felt different and I'm quite sure he felt the same."
It's so nice to hear this story, as many times, someone will be in a new relationship and they'll wonder if things are moving "too fast" or if they should follow a certain timeline. Ultimately, they have to do what feels right for them, and if they're with the right person, their family and friends will agree and be so excited for them.
It definitely worked out, as the pair seems so thrilled to be married and fans can feel their happiness through everything that they have shared on social media.
Peacock posted on Instagram that 2020 was a huge year for him. According to Bustle, he said in a caption on January 1, 2021, "2020 brought on more changes than I’ve ever been a part of before. I left London and moved across the Atlantic, got dressed up for numerous seriously hilarious zoom quizzes, re-discovered a love for gardening, learn to drive on the left, got married to my soulmate and one true love, and adopted a little Jack Russell called Pablo and entered a family with 4 amazing cats."

Before JVN met Mark Peacock, they were interviewed by The Guardian and talked about going public with their HIV positive diagnosis. They said they were single at the time: "In the past, I’ve had relationships with people who I was almost using to validate myself and my existence, and that’s not been a great plan for me. So, this is a season of me falling in love with myself all the way."
Now Jonathan Van Ness has found a true soulmate in Mark Peacock and it's wonderful to see.
