Zander Hodgson has gone public with his boyfriend, and–spoiler!–they make a cute and extraordinarily photogenic couple.
Earlier this month, the British-born model, actor, and Instagram star, who has appeared on the hit U.K. soap Coronation Street and the U.K. version of Shameless, came out as gay in a video posted to his YouTube channel.

“I wanted to tell everyone that I am gay, and although that doesn’t change anything for me, and hopefully not for you, I just thought it was a really important thing to share with everyone, because it is…” the 27-year-old says in the video.
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.
Zander shared a photo on Instagram giving his now-public boyfriend, fellow Instagrammer and YouTuber Troy Pes, a piggyback ride.
He wrote:
“So proud to be posting this today! We took this on a hike in Malibu and it’s one of my favorite shots of us. Just in the moment, in love and loving life”
Over on Troy’s Instagram are the fruits of a Joshua Tree photo shoot, starting with this telling shot:

A journey back through Zander’s feed (don’t judge) reveals the two have been close for at least 15 months:

Great looking couple.

That’s almost too much physical perfection to bear. Their combined hair product budget would prolly fund a small banana republic for a year!

I imagine going into their bathroom would be like wading through a sea of hair and face products.

Whatever man

My question is, “Who is taking these photos?!“ Do they bring professional photographers with them on all their vacations? Are they really in the moment if they’re constantly posing for photos and setting up shots? Just throwing these questions out there.

Personal drone, is my guess.

Given there is so much money to be made As an Instagram celebrity, my guess is they can afford to hire and travel with a personal photographer.

They look like human Ken dolls. To each Their own but I do not find that attractive.

They are obviously both gorgeous and it’s great to see they are happy–or at least their public persona is happy.

This has a life of about 5 minutes.

“Life should be about simple moments like this, not about money, power or social status…”
Yea, coming from a model with a perfect body and no worries about money needing to pay for food or basic necessities to even live, let alone travel, that’s rich. Gurl, bye. Like, it’s a wonderful sentiment, but it’s bullshit and your saying makes it sickening with your (many) privileges.

What a bitter comment! They work hard and of course they deserve the finer things in life. Maybe they are born with a silver spoon in their mouth but that’s not their fault. Your resentment toward people who are well off seems harsh. After all they pay more taxes than those who live in a slum.

If they are in Hollywood, they do not have their economic futures assured. Every week another group of handsome men and women arrive to try and break into the business. Most go home broke or working at jobs like the rest of us. These fellows are only young once and within a few years will be last years flavor of the month unless they can differentiate themselves from all the others. In the meantime, allow them to have a good time with each other and take all these great photos when they were 20 or 25. They can look back on their time in LA when they are 75 with pot bellies and wrinkles. More power to them now.

They’re handsome but basic.
