The 65-year-old actor revealed the wedding in a new cover story for British magazine Tatler.

Although the two have been together for 15 years, Everett was initially hesitant to walk down the aisle.

“I’ve always hated weddings, even though I love funerals. But as you get older… I’ve seen so many issues that gay couples face, so it’s really more about thinking ahead since we’ve been together for a long time now,” Everett admitted to the outlet.

“And I don’t know how long I can last. Well, I’m tall and I’ve never seen a 95-year-old, 6-foot-5 person. You just never know what’s going to happen.”

Interestingly, Everett used to be an outspoken critic of marriage, but has begun to backtrack in recent years.

“People always say I’m against gay marriage, but I’m not at all. I’m not against any kind of marriage, I just don’t think it’s necessarily the best way to have a relationship,” he told Mindfood magazine in 2020.

That same year, he revealed that he was already thinking about making his relationship with Henrique official. “Actually, I wouldn’t mind getting married now,” Everett told the Times. “I would marry my boyfriend. However, I would only invite two or three people to my wedding.”

Four years later, that statement came true and now they are happily married.

Everett, who has been out since the late 1980s, played Julia Roberts’ gay best friend in the 1997 blockbuster “The Last Jedi.” My best friend’s wedding and Madonna in the 2000s rom-com flop The next best thing.

He plays the lead role in the upcoming British historical film Crazyfabuloushas a new book titled The American No hits shelves and will appear in a snappy role in the second part of the fourth season of the Netflix hit next month Emily in Paris.
