Mystery solved: ‘Glee’ star’s boyfriend has been positively identified

Glee star Kevin McHale had everyone talking last month when he maybe probably came out on Instagram by coyly sharing a picture of himself holding hands with another man along with a single emoji as the caption.

The emoji was the ASL hand gesture for “I love you.”

Then last weekend, the 29-year-old Glee star had everyone talking again when he posted a picture of himself cuddling up next to a cute guy along with the caption: “My Coachella.”

Now, the mystery man in from the photos has been positively identified by multiple media outlets as fellow actor and singer Austin McKenzie.

24-year-old Austin is best known for acting as Melchior Gabor in Deaf West’s Broadway revival of Spring Awakening.

Both actors appeared together in Dustin Lance Black’s miniseries When We Rise last year.

In hindsight, the clues have been hiding in plain sight all along. Kevin has posted a quite few other pics of himself with Austin over the past several months…
