In a statement to People on Wednesday, the Pose star’s agent, Simon Halls, confirmed the news. He said that they “have made the sad decision to end their marriage after six years.”
“We both agreed on the decision, which was made after a lot of thought,” Halls continued. “As they start this new chapter, they still love and care for each other.”
Porter and Smith met in 2009 and went out for a short time before breaking up. After a few years, the two started dating again. They got engaged in London on December 29, 2016, and got married on January 14, 2017.
The end of the rep’s statement said, “Neither side will say anything else, and it would be nice if their privacy was respected.”
Smith was there in December when Porter was given “a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame”. He was all smiles.
During the event, Porter kissed his partner while posing with his plaque on top of his star.
ET talked to Porter at the big event, and he seemed overjoyed as he accepted the honor and felt the support of his husband.
“You know, I have to say, I wasn’t thinking about a star, no matter how big my dreams were,” he told ET. “It just wasn’t part of the conversation. It’s so magical and it just came out of nowhere. That’s what makes it so beautiful and it’s just such a surprise.”
