Star Trek actor Anthony Rapp proposed to his boyfriend Ken Ithiphol in November and now they’ve just published their engagement photos
“As you know, I’m marrying this wonderful, beautiful man. Thank you @colagrossico for taking such good care of us on our engagement shoot,” Anthony writes in a post on Instagram.
The photographers Mitch and Savanna Colagrossi were touched by the beautiful love between the two men.
“Behind the photos was Anthony breaking out into random song (the best kind), many laughs and meaningful, heartfelt kisses. They have a passion that even we were only able to capture a glimpse of, as their love is so much more genuine and intense than what can be documented through photography alone,” Savanna writes on the photographer’s web site.
“Anthony and Ken both have such a sweet, funny, affectionate nature between the two of them. I think maybe that was our biggest takeaway from our time with them. To hell with constraint, with hiding emotions for the sake of social niceties. Ken and Anthony are who they want to be with each other, unapologetically, and we admire that beyond words.”
Ken and Anthony have been dating since 2016 and Anthony got down on one knee and asked Ken to marry him in front of friends at a party in Toronto, Canada.
They have not yet publicly announced the date for their wedding.

Anthony celebrated the couple’s 3 year anniversary in January, 2019 by bringing Ken to the premiere of the new season of his CBS SciFi series Star Trek Discovery.
At the premiere, Anthony talked to the press about his decision to come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Hollywood mega star Kevin Spacey.
In 2017, Anthony accused the House of Cards star of having made unwanted sexual advances at him during a party at Spacey’s house in 1986 when Anthony was just 14 years old.
Anthony said he came forward with his story because he feared assaults could “keep happening” if he said nothing.
He is proud he had the courage to tell the story and hopes his contribution helps ‘change the culture’.
“I know that it’s something that needs continued movement forward and I’m going to keep doing my best to be a part of the movement forward,” Anthony said.
Kevin Spacey claims he does not remember such an encounter to have taken place but that he apologizes if the allegations are true.
