WHAT A COINCIDENCE, JUST IN TIME FOR BILLY'S DIVORCE MOVIE OSCAR CAMPAIGN
PEOPLE Exclusive: Billy Porter and Husband Adam Smith Break Up After 6 Years of Marriage
"They continue to love and support each other as they embark on this next chapter," Billy Porter's rep tells PEOPLE
(NEW YORK) - Billy Porter and husband Adam Smith are going their separate ways, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal.
"I can confirm that Billy Porter and his husband Adam Smith have made the sad decision to end their marriage after six years," says the Pose actor's rep Simon Halls.
"The decision was an amicable and mutual one and was made after much consideration. They continue to love and support each other as they embark on this next chapter," adds Halls.
"There will be no further comment from either parties and it would be appreciated if their privacy be respected."
Porter and Smith met in 2009 at a dinner party. They broke up after dating for about a year, but, five years later, they rekindled their romance. They got married on Jan. 14, 2017, two weeks after Porter proposed in London on Dec. 29, 2016.
In 2017, Porter told PEOPLE why getting married was an important milestone for him.
"We both grew up in households where who we are is labeled an 'abomination,' " the Emmy winner said at the time. "The thought of marriage, there was no context for it — there was no dreaming about it because there was no context to dream; it was unspoken and very clear that the sanctity of marriage was not for us."

Adam is lucky to have escaped. Billy can love no one except Billy Porter.

I’m shocked Lady Fuggo hooked up with Adam in the first place. She hates white men.

Adam deserves an Honorary Oscar for having put up with this insufferable attention whore for 6 years.

Adam couldn’t stand anymore being with someone so ugly both inside and out.

Billy Porter is going to remain silent? My sides!
(Also that's a poorly-written sentence from Simon Halls.)

I don’t get that impression. He cries racism but his next bf will probably be another younger white guy.

She's too deep preparing for her Oscar worthy performance as James Baldwin to have any actual time for a husband.

Billy is shedding his old skin so he can emerge as the fabulous butterfly he is. I wish him nothing but the best. He has worked hard, persevered and now is his time.

Will he finally transition? Maybe that's why they divorced
