Kal Penn Partner
Television personality and actor Kal Penn is currently engaged to his long-term boyfriend, Josh. In his memoir You Can’t be Serious, he opened about his relationship with Josh. Unlike most people, Penn came to realize his sexuality at a later stage in life. According to him, we figure out most things in life in our own time, so rather than being cranky about why it took so long, he is glad that he came to realize it even if it took so long. His meeting with his partner was also kind of similar. Penn never thought he could be with Josh even for a day. But like the phrase unlike poles attract they found their pace, and now they are inseparable.
They started seeing each other during the time Penn was working at the White House. The actor recollects that things were hectic, and he could only get one day or so off-day. But due to very conflicting tastes, both of them did not connect initially. But slowly, their relationship started growing, and before they realized it, they were engaged. Penn told in an interview that he plans to have a gigantic Indian wedding. But he is concerned that his fiance would not like the idea since he does not like too much attention befriending him. Hence they would have to compromise on certain things to find a comfort zone or, let’s say, a mid-way wherein both the parties can get what they wanted. Penn says that his family has been his biggest support and that he felt fortunate to have them in his life.
