Is he gay, who is the husband?

Sean Hayes was made popular by a gay role and as a result, his sexuality has been one of the main topics of discussion whenever the actor’s name comes up. Hayes’ homosexuality was an open secret in Hollywood until 2010, when he first hinted that he was gay. The clue came in an interview with the lawyer.

In November 2014, Sean Hayes married his partner of 8 years, a certain Scott Icenogle, in a private ceremony organized during the Thanksgiving holiday. Scott is a composer.

Hayes has always been gay since his high school years. He hid it from his brothers and parents until he was 18. After telling her mother, she asked her to go see a therapist, as it was not God’s will for her life. Hayes revealed in a 2016 interview with Playbill magazine that he regretted not hiding his sexuality from the world.
