Nathan Foad’s Boyfriend Is a Private Person Whom He’s Been with for 10 Years

"Newark, Newark" star Nathan Foad has a longtime boyfriend, and his social media followers are entirely impressed by how the English actor openly shares his love for his partner.

In an industry where most actors keep their personal lives private, Nathan Foad stands out as someone who is unapologetically open about his sexual identity while also valuing his personal boundaries, particularly his dating life.

Recently, the actor cracked open a window into his thoughts on romance and monogamy. He later revealed he has been in a long relationship, and their bond grows stronger over time.

Nathan's On-Screen Romance Mirrors His Real-Life Relationship

Nathan keeps his personal life private but briefly touches on his romantic life. In a 2022 interview, he shares his thoughts on monogamy after playing the gay character Lucio Spriggs in the series "Our Flag Means Death."

The series stars a talented cast like Rhys Darby, Rita Ora's husband, Taika Waititi, Vico Ortiz, Joel Fry, Leslie Jones, and Con O'Neill. Nathan said it was "cool" to represent such a character from that community.

He added that he never thought that the role he played would have an impact on other viewers' lives. Opposite to his character, Faod also revealed a fact about himself:

"I've been with my boyfriend for nine years. I'm a very boring, monogamous person."

While Nathan never shared his boyfriend's name in the interview, he shared about his on-screen love team with Matthew Maher's character, Black Pete. Nathan remarked that it was "kind of perfect."

He found it refreshing to portray a sincere and funny gay romance without complications. Nathan considered the Lucius-Pete romance to be particularly special. He also praised his talented co-star for his guidance and excellent partnership in their scenes.

Little is known about Nathan's boyfriend, but he occasionally shares glimpses of his life with his beau on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter).

Nathan Came Out to His Family at a Tough Time

Nathan had a challenging teenage years. He grew up in Newark-On-Trent, an area he considers quite remote in England. In his hometown, he felt isolated, comparing it to being stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean.

During the '90s and early 2000s, the town did not embrace diversity, making Ford's younger years tough. In the summer, he came out to his family and found it humorous that nobody cared about it.

Despite the complexities of revealing his sexuality in a non-diverse town, Nathan appreciated the experience as it shaped his sense of humor, compelling him to develop defense mechanisms that prevented others from making fun of him.

Rory Is Nathan's Longtime Partner
