Just like Andrews Rannells, Tuc Watkins has a history of acting on and off screen with several productions also including Rannells. In the play "The Boys in The Band," Rannells and Watkins played lovers Larry and Hank without knowing that they will soon become a real-life couple. The duo reenacted their romance on screen for the movie version of the play released in 2020 (via IMDb). The couple also acted as an on-screen couple in the television show "Black Monday." Rannells plays a bisexual character with a wife and a secret boyfriend, played by Watkins.

In an interview with Out Magazine, Rannells talked about the experience of shooting sex scenes for "Black Monday" with your real-life partner. "All of a sudden I had this realization that I was surrounded by the crew who had now become friends of mine. I thought I wonder if they're thinking, 'So that's what it looks like. That's what they do at home," Ranells recalled. "All that said, it was much easier to do it with someone that you know."

Whenever they aren't acting, the couple seems to enjoy doing exercise together as shown by a photo published by Just Jared which shows them wearing tank tops and shorts while doing an afternoon run around their neighborhood in Los Angeles.
