Colman Domingo Opens Up About Marriage In Candid Interview...
Actor and Emmy winner Colman Domingo is trending today after discussing his 14-year marriage to husband RaĂşl Aktanov in a revealing new interview with The New Yorker. The Euphoria and Fear the Walking Dead star shared intimate details about their relationship, sparking widespread admiration from fans.
Domingo, 56, met Aktanov, a writer and political strategist, in 2012 at a mutual friend's dinner party in Los Angeles. They married quietly in 2018. In the interview published Wednesday, Domingo credited Aktanov with supporting him through career highs like his 2022 Emmy win and personal challenges including the pandemic.
The couple's enduring Hollywood marriage stands out in an industry where LGBTQ+ relationships often face scrutiny. Domingo revealed they maintain separate creative spaces—he acts while Aktanov focuses on political advocacy—but share a home in Philadelphia where Domingo recently filmed Rustin.
Fans flooded social media with praise after the interview dropped. Many highlighted Domingo's description of their "no-drama" partnership as relationship goals. The timing coincides with Domingo's rising fame following his Oscar-nominated turn in Rustin and upcoming role in The Color Purple musical.
Domingo and Aktanov rarely discuss their private life publicly, making this rare glimpse particularly noteworthy. The actor told The New Yorker their secret is "radical honesty" and weekly check-ins—advice now going viral on relationship forums.
This marks Domingo's most personal interview since becoming one of Hollywood's most visible openly gay leading men. Industry analysts note his willingness to discuss marriage authentically helps normalize LGBTQ+ relationships in mainstream media.
