These gays… they can’t stop breaking up!
Just one week after we heard the news about Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton ending their six-month marriage, we learn that Antoni Porowski and his fiancé Kevin Harrington are calling off their engagement. 💔
We know the holidays can be a stressful time, but damn!
“After many conversations and reflection during the wedding planning process, Antoni and Kevin have amicably decided to part ways,” a publicist for Porowski told People. “While they still have a lot of respect for each other, as they talked more about the future, they realized they were on different paths.
“They both remain focused on work, and are surrounding themselves with friends during this time.”
Porowski, who’s set to host an upcoming series called No Taste Like Home on National Geographic, got engaged to Harrington last November.
“I really hope the wedding photos are less blurry 🙏🏼,” Porowski wrote as the caption.
Sadly, there won’t be any wedding photos at all 😞.
While Porowski, 39, rarely talks about his private life, the Queer Eye star and Harrington, who works in advertising and marketing, were never shy about sharing photos of each other.
Last summer, the real-life Ken dolls celebrated their four-year anniversary with a pic from their first vacation together.
“On our first trip together a lil less than four years ago I got down on one knee in jest (last slide)- I guess there’s a grain of truth in every joke after all. happy IV Kev,” Porowski captioned the slideshow.
“The fact that you proposed after seeing me jump like that is simply shocking.” Harrington commented.
Harrington, 33, shared his own slideshow as well.
“4 years of me looking like a confused growth coming out of your left shoulder 👾 happy anniversary and thanks for not having me surgically removed yet,” he wrote.
Keen observers may notice Harrington is always standing behind Porowski in the selected images…
The two studs started dating in July 2019, and then proceeded to make our mouths water over the ensuing four years.
Like many couples, Porowski and Harrington grew closer to one another during the height of the COVID lockdowns. Harrington previously told People the duo’s relationship “escalated quickly.”
In March 2020, Harrington was visiting Porowski in Austin while the celebrity food-maker was shooting Queer Eye.
Harrington’s four-day trip was ultimately extended…by quite a bit!
“It came to a shutdown in New York — there was no toilet paper — and we decided to stay in Austin and fostered a dog,” he said. “We went from being in a relationship and each having our own apartments and not having a dog, to living in the same place with a dog.”
While the pair moved fast, they seemed to be heading towards their wedding date with no regrets. Porowski enjoyed his bachelor weekend in September at Blackberry Mountain in Tennessee. (Only one Queer Eye cast member was invited, by the way. The shade!)
They filled their respective grids with plenty of photos along the way. They were in Bali so recently!
Previously, Porowski and Harrington said they were enjoying their engagement, and were in no rush to tie the knot.
“We’re trying to remember to also enjoy the engagement and not feel like we have to lean into the machines so quickly,” Porowski told People. “Because it’s so much to consider and there’s so many different moving parts.”
“We’re hoping for 2024,” the Netflix foodie said of a possible wedding date. “That’s kind of a goal right now.”
But as it turns out, they split just about five weeks before the new year. Maybe Porowski’s suggestive Instagram photo from last month was sending a subliminal message…
New top coming to a grid near you? Look out!
We hear he makes a mean guacamole…

Our first mistake was insisting that marriage – and not friendship – should be extolled as the pinnacle of same-sex love.

Is anyone surprised? Moreover, does anyone care?
Den
Everyone can see that you cared enough to check out the article and leave a comment! Are you really that dull?
abfab
This is common behavior among TROLLS, Den. And yes. DULL! Provincial, unremarkable and proud of how stupid they are. The Republicans!

I think the “thug”gay boys of Hollywood (Antony P, Brad G, others are too into their gay acceptance and look than real emotion) sure Rachel Ray, some other chicks and others love you boys. but your inability to understand and really commit is so tiresome after a-bit to others in long term committed relationships, with the exception of your gay fun factor while your single, That can’t be sustained #Antoni Porowski . The rest of you don’t get on me I’m gay too. They don’t court, truly spend time on common goals, emotion, finances, family, needs, etc… that potato pierogi is just a lil to precious for a relationship. He needs adoration, not capable of real commitment… you can’t do that in the public eye without real effort. I’ve been there

I’m not ashamed to declare that I have nothing but contempt for these Instagram “professionally gay” fame whores!
Jaesly
Just to be clear, I have nothing but respect for actual sex workers. They do real work for their income.

So many Instagram posts… I was positive this was true love. Maybe if they had posted more? Who knows?

I don’t know either one of these two. All these public break-ups is disheartening.
What I like is when Queerty does stories on gay couples that have been together for decades. This my sound corny, but those stories nourish my soul. I love hearing about how they met, the obstacles they faced in difficult times, how they knew there was no one else for them, etc.
I don’t think I’m alone enjoying these testaments to gay love and commitment.

The “Queer Agenda” doesn’t allow for those stories. They would have to feature older men, not famous, not hard bodies and they find that boring. These pages are here to show young “queer” people that they’ll never be accepted and never be in a relationship so they should become angry and fight for rights we already have.

@ShaverC
100% CORRECT!!!!

I’m afraid you are right, regardless, I wanted to put that message out there.
One cannot live on eye candy alone. 🙂

“The ‘Queer Agenda’ doesn’t allow for those stories. They would have to feature older men, not famous, not hard bodies and they find that boring…yada yada yada”
Nothing as amusing as a gay hating/perhaps self hating right wing scumbag like this guy opining about what he imagines the “gay agenda” is. Queery has profiled older gay men and men (and women) in long lasting relationships, but that doesn’t fit your lame right wing agenda, does it?
I am a 72 (pushing 73) year old gay man who finds your consistently backwards, bitter, and ossified world view repellent. Take a walk, get on a bicycle, interact with nice people (if you know any). Maybe that will help your mental health.

“What I like is when Queerty does stories on gay couples that have been together for decades. This my sound corny, but those stories nourish my soul. ”
I kind of hate to agree with the Baron, but I absolutely do in this case. Though I have never been lucky in love, I have a number of friends who have been in wonderful and inspiring relationships for as long as 40 years, marrying once that became a legal reality. That is a rarity in the heterosexual world, and an indication of what a real commitment can do in a hostile world. Queerty should showcase more of these men and women. And Shaver (ass that you are), just because you have not noticed coverage does not mean it does not exist. Solipsistic and self absorbed much?
abfab
Thank you, Den!

Hot bodies and posting on Instagram are NOT the keys of a relationship or marriage….
abfab
And watch…..no one will come to you looking for these so called ”keys”.

Now what really matters: Queerty, take that annoying reply button and place it to the faaar left so we’re not tripping it ad nauseum. Thx. Yes. I accept consulting fees.
still_onthemark
I’ve never noticed that problem. Do you keep making Replies that you didn’t intend to make?

Like the POS, DIPLOMAT is a sociopath.
”Those with antisocial personality disorder tend to lie, break laws, act impulsively, and lack regard for their own safety or the safety of others. Symptoms may lessen with age.”
(not in this case @still-onthemark, it just gets worse)
Diplomat
Still,
I find when I scroll comments on my phone I can unintentionally trip the reply button on a person’s comment which annoyingly shifts the screen, then I have to shift it back to continue scrolling. That’s good if it hasn’t happened on your phone.
Abs, bummer you’re teething is such a problem but really, reel it in, it’s noone elses issue. You have no idea how difficult it is for a room full of adults to take care of a small overly poopie child. I do have to admit tho you’re kinda cute when you’re sucking your thumb.

Fake chef and unemployed boyfriend break up? I’m shocked!!

I’m out of most… celebrity loops, aside from posting a comment on such boards as this I don’t engage in ‘social media’.
That said, you can’t have a ‘private life’ that much out in public. I noticed the food-dude was usually documenting the moments while his partner (who was noted in the article as being one step behind) didn’t really smile. His face gave the vibe, “Again. You really need to post this moment babe?” Dating a celebrity comes with a lot of baggage especially in the ‘age of self promotion to maintain one’s relevancy.
You can’t always have on a happy face because people are watching. While I recognize the importance of marriage equally and the spiritual significance it holds for many, LGBTQ folks may have “bought the farm” thinking marriage would be the cure all to loneliness, aloneness and acceptance. These guys were dating for four years; who said they needed to get married? For what reason? They looked to be having a great, adventurous, friend-filled life with money to burn. They could go to the courthouse and get ‘married. Who was the WEDDING for? Who was promoting it… sponsoring it… had TV and photo credits to present it? They might still BE together if the machinery of expectation wasn’t so prevalent in our current ‘see me, see me, see me’ era.

Ugh! Who wants to be “camera-ready” 24/7??
Godabed
The fact that these types of couples take so many public photos together is very telling. Who wants to have their relationship broadcast constantly. Well on to the next
abfab
They do, or did, rather.

Rumors are simmering in the world of pretend chefs and fake cookbook writers that THE real reason for the breakup is that Kevin refused to wear a speedo! I have this from an inside source at Fox News.

Oh no! If these young white conventionally attractive dudes with 5% body fat and 5 brain cells between them can’t make it what hope do the rest of us have??? ?
