David Hyde Pierce & Brian Hargrove

David Hyde Pierce has been one of the most beloved personalities in television, known for his role as Dr. Niles Crane on Frasier, a role which, to a huge degree, made him famous. Outside of his career, he has been known for his relationship with Brian Hargrove. The couple has been together since the 1980s, although they kept their relationship a secret. That secrecy continued until 2007 when speculation about him prompted him to come out as gay through his publicist. A year later, they tied the knot, just days before a proposition in their home state of California banned same-sex marriages.

Since then, the couple has lived quite happily and supportive of one another. Indeed, Pierce, in 2008, dedicated his Tony Award for Curtains to his partner, who reportedly supported Pierce for decades. They’ve been living a somewhat quiet life, so not much is known about them apart from what they share on social media.
