According to a People report, Nico and Zeke met four years ago at the 2018 GLAAD Media Awards.

As of this writing, the couple has been showered with hundreds of congratulatory messages just minutes after making the announcement.

Nico was born in the Philippines and moved to Gresham, Oregon with his family at 16. He starred as Oliver T'sien in "Crazy Rich Asians." He is also in the NBC hit series "Superstore" as Mateo Liwanag.

Zeke, meanwhile, made headlines in 2017 when he was outed as a transgender by a fellow contestant when he was still a "Survivor" castaway. He also starred in the 2020 Netflix documentary "Disclosure."

Congratulations, Nico and Zeke!
