13 Reasons Why star Tommy Dorfman's Married Life with Peter Zurkuhlen
13 Reasons Why actor Tommy Dorfman tied the knot to his partner, Peter Zurkuhlen in November 2014.
The couple has been together for so long now and we are sure they are definitely not going to split apart.
Following his success on the hit show, he shared his family life story with Zurkuhlen in an interview. He said,
"I’m married and, just since this show’s come out, I have a certain lack of anonymity. I’m still coming to terms with [that] and figuring out how to move forward with all these components. I definitely don’t have it figured out. I’m just trying to stay on the boat."
Maybe I’ve limited my opportunities by being so open about my sexuality, but my thinking is that, if I come out of the gates this way, then it’s not really going to be a big deal in a couple of years."
The amazing chemistry of the lovely couple is pretty clear looking at his Instagram posts.
Lovebirds!
They are standing out as the perfect couple giving us serious relationship goals.
Tommy Dorfman: Sexually Assaulted as a Teenager
The 25-year-old actor once spoke about his own experience of sexual assault back in October 2017.
He expressed his support to Star Trek actor Anthony Rapp via Twitter who accused Kelvin Spacey of making a 'sexual advance' on him when he was just 14.
He wrote:
"As a person who was sexually assaulted and abused at 14 by a 27-year-old, I applaud [Anthony Rapp] for his courage. It’s scary to speak out."
During an interview with Gay Times earlier in 2017, he explained his own sexual assault story when he was a teenager.
He said,
"When you’re 14, you think it’s totally fine. I didn’t wanna, when I bottomed for the first time, like, I was really young, and I didn’t quite know what that meant. I only had porn really."
'I was 14 and he was in his mid-20s, and I didn’t have the language to ask for what I might need or even say no in that kind of position.'
"It was a very scary thing. And I think for me at 14 I thought I could do anything and I was ready for anything… and I wasn’t, I was not ready for that."
The openly gay actor, however, didn't reveal who abused him.
