Our celebrity actor is the wife of art director Todd Spiewak whom he tied the nuptial knot with in the month of May 2017. Jim described the relationship between him and his gay husband as  “an act of love, coffee in the morning, going to work, washing the clothes, taking the dogs out—a regular life, boring love.”

Their relationship has been going on strong and there are no rumours or pointers suggesting that they are heading for the rocks.

Since Jim Parsons is gay and is still married to a fellow gay man, they don’t have any kids together, neither is Jim known to have had a kid before marrying Todd.
