Aaron Tveit, a celebrated Tony Award winner, has always kept the curtains of his personal life closely drawn, subtly shielding his off-stage romances from the limelight. But in a delightful turn of events, his relationship with the talented dancer, Ericka Hunter, has pirouetted into the public view, a tale as enchanting as a Broadway romance.
Their hearts first danced to the same rhythm under the resplendent lights of Broadway’s ‘Moulin Rouge!’. On stage, they were costars; beyond that, a pair woven by affection and admiration, embarking on a symphony of love and partnership.
Notably private, Tveit’s past romantic chapters remain a backstage mystery. A thespian who has shared the screen and stage with stars like Blake Lively and Sutton Foster, Tveit believes his personal life to be an intimate act, choosing to limit its social media preview. “I just don’t see why anyone would be interested in what I do outside my work,” he shared with New York Theater Guide.
Hunter, a Canadian gem from Ottawa, pirouetted into the world of arts early, embodying grace and passion that seemed a family legacy. The stages of local theaters were her first arena, where the spark of her artistic journey was ignited. Her debut on Broadway’s illustrious stages echoed with applause, following her initial performance with the iconic Radio City Rockettes.
As a couple, their moments have been adorned with sweetness and love. Birthday wishes shimmered with affection, and their presence at the 2021 Tony Awards was marked by a shared radiance, where Tveit’s trophy was illuminated by their shared joy and Hunter’s unwavering support.
Their paths, artistically intertwined, have woven a tapestry of shared performances, both on the enchanting Broadway stages and the screen in ‘Schmigadoon!’ Their presence embellishes the realm of art, sharing frames in remarkable shows like ‘Smash’, ‘Mozart In The Jungle’, and more.
Their romance tells a story, narrating chapters from their initial, subtle togetherness during ‘Moulin Rouge!’ to a love celebrated and cheered on red carpets and awards stages. In each other, they have found both a partner and a muse, a harmony that resonates beyond the footlights of Broadway, composing an overture of love and companionship.
