Russell Tovey confirmed to the Daily Mail this week that he’s engaged to his boyfriend, Steve Brockman.
“Completely unexpected but very very happy and looking forward to having a proper party to celebrate when back in London,” the 36-year-old Quantico star said.

It didn’t take long for people to realize, however, that in addition to being a rather good-looking former rugby player, Brokman is also a rather good-looking former adult entertainer who went by the name Ryan Stack on Randy Blue.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Of course, as soon as the information became public, everyone seemed to have an opinion on the matter. And, no, they weren’t all positive or congratulatory.
Check out the range of responses…
I thought I recognised Steve Brockman from somewhere ??

Honestly, who cares if Russell Tovey's fiance did porn, do you know how hard it is to find someone single who hasn't?

I can't wait to see Russell Tovey and Steve Brockman's leaked post-marital sex tape

White gay news will spend a month talking about Russell Tovey's fiance's porn past.

I don't understand why people are sad that Russell Tovey is engaged to a former pornstar and saying he'll cheat. Just because he was in porn doing make Steve Brockman a cheater. Don't treat them like that, it's their life and clearly Russell has accepted his past and so should we

Russell Tovey is engaged to a former porn star? His name is Steve Brockman? Pretty sure that’s “Ryan Stack”. Marc Jacobs isnt the only one who likes the porn stars. Lol. pic.twitter.com/CJe3yZ8CxZ

Filming porn is perfectly legitimate work. Why the big fuss?
ChrisK
..and thank the gods for it.
WillParkinson
Thank you!
Brian Lange
My opinion is I am so glad he got out of gay porn normal has a successful relationship. To his credit the porn producers did not eat him alive he is a strong man! A good catch
Juanjo
So the Miss Grundys and Negative Nancys of the world are throwing shade. Anyone surprised?
Polaro
Not surprised either. Can’t wait for the pearl-clutching hypocrites to start posting here.
Kangol
I don’t see the big deal. Most of the people criticizing porn actors watch porn, so the hypocrisy is gag-worthy. If Steve Brockman in love with Russell Tovey and vice versa, more power to both of them, and I hope they create the relationship and life together that they want.
smartguyd
What makes it a “secret” adult film past as yall characterized it in your first article? Because he doesn’t volunteer that information at the beginning of every conversation he has? If you don’t tell ever person you meet that you use to work at Starbucks does that mean you have a secret barista past?
Prax07
Eh so he’s marrying a whore, if Trump did it guess it’s ok for Tovey.
Xzamilloh
I thought he looked familiar… Russell’s getting some good stock, as most of us know.

Congratz to the happy couple! May they enjoy many years of marital bliss!
dean089
I also have an opinion about it: except for Russell Tovey, it’s nobody’s f*cking business.
ProfessorMoriarty
I also have an opinion: I wish I was Russell Tovey. 😎 Congratulations to the grooms!

So a guy who started his career in a TV show about a ghost, vampire, and werewolf living together is marrying a guy who started his career filming porn. Both started out working in realms of fantasy. May they find real happiness together.

Why do all these idiots who don’t know these people & obviously have No life feel entitled to comment on other people’s lives.
DCguy
Easy, if they are putting it out there on their public social media platforms, they don’t get to then complain that people comment on it.
Ronbo
Being committed to a marriage takes more than a lavish wedding spectacular paid and broadcast for by Bravo! Handy Cohen will be there guffawing at the wedding and later working the couple offering his “nickname specialty” right before they broadcast the big breakup and subsequent interviews with the creepy Cohen.
Pornstars and actors are KNOWN for their commitments and follow thru.
I give the wedding thru sweeps week.
