“Long story short, Ben made me a birthday video. Ben very sweetly for the past, like, probably three months, has been putting together this video for me. It’s all my favorite drag queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race and beyond and all of my friends in drag, wishing me a happy birthday.”
Platt and Galvin are not the only Dear Evan Hansen alums to be in a relationship. Taylor Trensch and Ben Levi Ross are also dating.
