The actor disclosed to GQ Magazine in 2018 that it was during his relationship with Krietemeyer that he came out to his father via an email that read, "You brought this up. I think it's time I tell you: I love. I am loved. His name is Joey, and we live together."

Harrington and Porowski's Love Story

While celebrating their third anniversary on July 20, 2022, Porowski disclosed that they started going out in July. However, the reality star did not mind that COVID-19 escalated things between the couple, who were still in the early stages of things, as he told PEOPLE:

"But I don't have any complaints, which is kind of nice. When something is stable and really good — and you communicate a lot, and you check in with each other and with your own therapist about it — I feel like that's kind of the key."
