Was Willie Garson married?

Willie Garson had not been married since his death and was not currently married.

Sex and the City’s portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw’s gay best friend made him famous.

He didn’t correct those who believed Garson was gay for a long while.

Garson was worried that playing a straight gay man would make him controversial.

Garson pointed to his other roles when the question was raised.

“When I was on White Collar no one ever asked me if I was a conman, and when I was on NYPD Blue, nobody ever asked me if I was a murderer,” Garson replied.

“This is what we do for a living, portray people,” he added.

Who was Willie Garson’s date?

Although Willie Garson kept his personal life private, a few relationships had a lasting impact on his life.

Willie Garson had a few dates before their show became an integral part of American culture.

“We were set up once, had a very long flirtation,” Garson said, but when the relationship didn’t progress, they “settled into being best friends, something I think really reads on the show.”

Another relationship, which spanned close to two decades, didn’t end in marriage, but did make Garson realize what he really wanted.

“I had a long relationship off and on for like 20 years, and she never wanted to have a child, which is fine,” Garson stated.

But that relationship made Garson realize that he actually wanted a child, more than anything else, describing the epiphany as his “mid-life crisis.”

The realization lead Garson to pursue adoption, and he met the most important person in his life: his son.

“We’re partners, my kid and I,” Garson stated.

Willie Garson became a father in 2009.

Last year, Willie Garson toldAuthority Magazinethat being a father was “such an important job” to him.

“I was in my mid-40’s and I was so bored with myself,” Garson said. “When Nathen came into my life I was not bored anymore.”

The actor described raising Nathen as like having another childhood.

On Instagram, the younger Garson wrote a touching tribute to his father.

“I’m so glad you got to share all your adventures with me and were able to accomplish so much. I’m so proud of you. I will always love you, but I think it’s time for you to go on an adventure of your own,” Nathen wrote.

Nathen concluded the heartbreaking message by writing, “I’m glad you shared you’re [sic] love with me. I’ll never forget it or lose it.”
