Broadway's Billy Porter Finds New Love After Sepsis Diagnosis
24 Oct
Summary
- Porter, 56, and Anderson, fitness enthusiast, spotted on romantic date
- Porter diagnosed with "serious case" of sepsis, leading to early Cabaret exit
- Couple's relationship timeline unclear, but known to each other for some time

In a heartwarming turn of events, renowned Broadway performer Billy Porter, 56, has found a new love interest in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware resident Anderson. The pair were recently spotted enjoying a "date night" together, with a joint Instagram post capturing their beaming smiles and intertwined hands.
The news comes just months after Porter faced a significant health scare, being diagnosed with a "serious case" of sepsis. This condition led to the early closure of his Broadway stint in the production of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, where he had been scheduled to perform through mid-October. However, his doctors advised him to maintain a restful schedule, and the show ultimately ended its run a month earlier than planned.
While the exact timeline of Porter and Anderson's relationship is unclear, the two have seemingly known each other for quite some time. Anderson first appeared on Porter's social media page back in July, with the fitness enthusiast posting a photo of the pair at a New York City Pride event. Last month, Anderson also shared a sweet birthday tribute to Porter, expressing his gratitude and love for the Tony-winning actor.
