Though many details of the pair's relationship — including when and how they met — remain under wraps, Peacock did share a humorous video that his now-husband captured earlier this year in March.

"Back with the family 🦚🦚🦚," Peacock captioned the post as he tagged Van Ness' Instagram handle as the photographer in the video of himself surrounded by a slew of wild peacocks.
