While Galvin was nominated for the Spirit Awards’ best-supporting performance for ‘Theater Camp’ (won by Da’Vine Joy Randolph for The Holdovers), both actors were contenders for best first screenplay, which went to Samy Burch and Alex Mechanik for ‘May December’. Earlier on the red carpet, Platt and Galvin displayed their affection, holding hands and sharing smiles as they posed for photos.

Reflecting on their collaboration, the engaged pair emphasized their aligned sense of humour and taste, which played a significant role in their falling in love. Speaking at the New York City premiere of ‘Theater Camp’ in July, they expressed joy during the film’s shooting.

Their relationship traces back to their involvement in Dear Evan Hansen, where Galvin replaced Platt in the titular role. Developing a close friendship, their romantic connection was confirmed in May 2020. 

Platt, known for ‘Pitch Perfect’, and Galvin, from ‘Booksmart’, opened up about how the pandemic served as a transformative period, allowing them to scrutinize and strengthen their relationship. Platt highlighted Galvin as a grounding presence, balancing his high-frequency energy with a beautiful sense of calm.
