Jonathon Van Ness is largely private about his personal life but on New Year’s Eve of 2020, he announced on Instagram that he had married Mark Peacock. “Thank you universe for allowing me to be here & thanks to everyone who has supported me. 2020 was a year unlike any other … I finished my tour in Australia & NZ for what I didn’t know would be my last standup show for who knows how long. I got married to my best friend & have a loving partner to continue building my life with,” he gushed.

A few days later, Van Ness shared how he and Peacock had met. “We went on a date in London, which turned into more dates whilst I was on a comedy tour. At the end of that time I was taking my mom, aunt & friends on a mini break to Amsterdam,” he revealed. Van Ness described wanting Peacock to come with him but thought it was “a bit intense” to ask him after dating for just a couple of weeks. He continued, “Maybe so, but something about Mark felt different and I’m quite sure he felt the same.” While Peacock was based in London when he met Van Ness, he eventually uprooted his life to be with his now-husband.
