Zachary Quinto has reportedly split with his boyfriend of six years, Miles McMillan.
The 41-year-old actor and 29-year-old model began dating in the summer of 2013. They moved into a Manhattan apartment in 2015 and owned two dogs together: Skunk and Rocco.
E! Online reports that the two didn’t attend this past weekend’s Oscar awards show together:
[Quinto] traveled to Los Angeles over the weekend for the 2019 Oscars and stayed with Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his husband Justin Mikita. The two of them, not McMillan, were his “Oscar squad.” Quinto attended Vanity Fair’s Oscars after-party , whereas McMillan stopped by Elton John‘s AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.
Quinto hadn’t mentioned McMillan on his social media since last October, and McMillan’s most recent mention of Quinto on Instagram happened back in June 2018. In July 2017, Quinto posted a tasteful nude of McMillan on his Instagram.
How about we take this to the next level?

In 2018, Architectural Digest toured the now-former couple’s $3.2 million Manhattan loft. Towleroad reports, “Highlights of the tour included McMillan’s collection of more than 55 crystals, Tennessee Williams’ cocaine dish, ashes of dead dogs and cats, Rorschach test prints, and the bathtub where McMillan submerges his nipples and knees four days a week.”
Here is video of their apartment. (No word yet on who gets to keep it.)
Perhaps their separation was a foregone conclusion seeing how in February 2015, Quinto announced that he’s not a huge fan of marriage. Quinto said:
“I personally am not a huge fanatic of marriage. Commitment and relationships are a very individual thing, and I don’t stand to tell other people what to do or who to do it with, but for me, love is defined by two people in an intimate and personal way, and superimposing an institution on that isn’t necessarily, for me, the most exciting idea.”
Oh wel. McMillan has modeled for for Alexander McQueen, Dior Homme and other high-end fashion houses and magazines. Perhaps we’ll see him do more modeling work seeing as he’s single.

Breaking up after 6 years must suck for them. Sorry to hear it didn’t work out for the couple.
@HarryB
Breaking up after 6 years is really serious and strong decision
Catholicslutbox
I don’t they were “monogamous” anyways, so they didn’t miss out on much.
QueerTruth
He’s very private.
Who even knew he had a BF? Probably no one. So why is this news?
Polaro
Dunno, why did you read it?
Nosso Crankee
Do you do anything on here but snark your shrill histrionics? Is it the estrogen deficit, Sweetie? Are you going through the change?
And “Queer Truth”? Is that what they’re calling insipid mewling these days?
OzJosh
Yeah, very private. They had no idea that Architectural Digest reporter with a video camera was going to post an “at home” film of them online!
QueerTruth
Nosso Crankee,
Hey dimwit with a cut off shirt…. LMAO. what are you twelve years old?
Grow bangs and stay inside. Bye bye

One never knows what happens in a relationship, so no comment on this particular couple makes any sense.
However, in general, relationships seems to have two “hurdle years” and one “old couple” event before they become lifelong. This is not just among gays but any couple; it’s just that hetero couples with kids have social, professional and, especially with kids, familial motivations to stay together. Some 50% of young couples divorce in 2-5 years (despite kids in the picture) for those who are under 30; so it is not surprising that gay couples also mostly don’t “last” beyond that.
1. About 2 years – Most end in breakup. This is when a relationship based on lust or mainly on sexual attraction tends to break up. After two years of cohabitation, one no longer sees the beauty of the partner, and all the “quirks” now morph into annoyances, stubbornness etc. In the absence of other motivations for remaining together, a couple drifts apart, viewing that “there are plenty of fish in the sea” when one is younger and handsome.
2. The decade year itch – Often happens. Although this can be from 6-13 years of cohabitation, for the partner who started in his 20’s more than for an older partner (who may have already gone through a 10 years decoupling), this is when there is a profound introspection, usually by one’s 30’s, of questioning if one is truly going to have a life journey to the end. It’s usually a reflection of the younger partner while the older partner gets blindsided.
* Is one or the other compromising on professional goals?
* Does one, but not the other, want the responsibility of children?
* if there is a difference in socio-economics, education, age or any other factors that means each has his own circle of like-minded friends?
* has the younger partner changed from a bright-eyed youth to a more independent man?
3. The old couple (20+ years) breakup. Occasionally happens. Life can be hard. Later in life, one realizes that the end is closer than the beginning and some dreams may never come to pass. If two people are not good friends by this stage and/or have pursued common goals together (family, business, house…), the combination of realization of aging and “one last chance” to follow some “dream” can lead one or both to look at “greener pastures”, or even single life. This is when every exchange is a criticism. Unless there is some motivation (like financial: unable to pay for two lodgings independely, usually), a minority of very long-term couples break up – to the surprise of their friends.

I really appreciated this breakdown. Thank you!

@WillFred2: And where did you do your empirically based “research” ? Or are your comments just YOUR observations?

Gonna post anything about a black lesbian coming in first to be the next mayor of Chicago, or are white twinks the only people of interest on this website?
Kangol
It’s huge news. The top vote getter is an out black lesbian and the no. 2 is…no shade, but…she’s always been pretty butch herself. IJS

Quinto is notoriously pretentious and snobby. I imagine the relationship was over long before it became convenient for them to publicly split.
Esscourt
I always thought he had a huge head (physically).
GentlemanCaller
Too many crystals.

As long as celebrities and sport figures continue to choose models as partners, in order to compliment their bloated egos, they will never find anything but temporary arrangements. Maybe that’s what they want. They are so special.
Brian
Gee, I wonder which one of them will get to keep the apartment? That’s a real head scratcher as to which one of them has the bigger income.
NateOcean
So you’re saying Miles is back on the market?
nitejonboy
Ones an uppity pretentious snob and the others a vapid crystal worshipping airhead. Not much of a loss for either if you ask me.
Terrycloth
Miles is quiet and laid back Zack seems snobbish and arrogant.. maybe Miles had enough..coukd it be Miles was away more on photo shoots…Zach seems like the type to want things precise and his way. Who knows.

…6 years isn’t bad really for gay men in my estimation. It’s a bit exciting to know Mr Quinto is a free fellow now. So say if I happened to see him in a bar I might grab his buttocks and pull him into the nearest bathroom!—only joking…though if he read this he may get upset about that…
