Jonathan Van Ness Shares He and Husband Played Fortnite for 8 Hours

As his fifth wedding anniversary draws near, Jonathan Van Ness is thinking back on his journey with his spouse, Mark Peacock. In an exclusive interview at the WWD Style Awards recently, the 37-year-old ‘Queer Eye’ star discussed their impending milestone and alluded to possible plans for their special day.
When Van Ness thought back on their June 2020 wedding, she was amazed at how fast time had gone by, stating that it seemed like it had been nearly five years. He referred to their everyday existence as a sleepover in a hilarious manner. Five cats and three dogs live in the couple’s house.
The couple, who were recently sighted at the Golden Globes Afterparty, are thinking about planning a variety of entertaining and imaginative activities for their June 5 anniversary. Van Ness talked about how they like cooking together, playing pickleball, and hanging out in their garage art area, where Van Ness experiments with painting and needlepoint and Peacock enjoys pottery. Playing Fortnite is one of the couple’s most unexpected hobbies.

“We got home at noon, and the next thing I knew, it was eight,” Van Ness said, recalling an unplanned gaming marathon. We unintentionally spent eight hours playing Fortnite. This game is a lot of fun! One way they love spending precious time together is through this common pastime.
When Van Ness announced their nuptials and gave a year-end recap on Instagram in December 2020, fans first found out about their marriage. A comedy tour in London was the beginning of the couple’s romance, and their first date swiftly escalated into multiple dates. After just a few weeks of courtship, Van Ness even asked Peacock to accompany him on a family vacation to Amsterdam, a daring step that seemed appropriate considering their bond.

Heartfelt posts have been made to commemorate their anniversaries, such as Van Ness’s own lovely posts honouring their journey together and Peacock’s June 2023 tribute that included a montage of memories.
Van Ness discussed personal achievements as well as some predictions for 2025 hair and fashion trends. He said, “We’re going to see much stronger points of view in style.” “Celebrities, friends, and relatives will take the risk and try something new.” Regarding his appearance, Van Ness alluded to trying out a hairstyle with shorter front and longer back lengths that was reminiscent of the 1960s, but he is still debating the option.
After over five years of marriage, artistic pursuits, and daring travels, Van Ness and Peacock still joyfully and enthusiastically celebrate their life together.
