“He’s funny. He makes me laugh all the time,” the Fashion House alum told Entertainment Tonight in July 2015. “We talk about [marriage] sometimes but we don’t have children and we’re not young, so there isn’t that pressure or need to get married.”

“Jerry, I can’t believe I forgot to tell you. Around Christmas time we got married. Bo and I got married,” he told host Jerry O’Connell. “We got married. And this is probably the first time – we’re pretty private people. We didn’t make an announcement. All our friends and family knew.”

“But this is the first time either one of us has said anything publicly about it because really, we haven’t had an opportunity,” John added. “So, you’re my buddy, and now I guess I’m telling all of America or the world. And yeah, after 20 years we decided to get married.”
