He had told PEOPLE magazine, “I discovered my own sexuality relatively late in life compared to many other people. There's no timeline on this stuff. People figure their shit out at different times in their lives, so I'm glad I did when I did.”

But Josh, my partner, my parents, and my brother, four people who I'm closest to in the family, are fairly quiet. They don't love attention and shy away from the limelight.” ALSO READ: Priyanka Chopra Jonas' Restaurant, Sona Receives Praises And Shout-Out From Kal Penn For The 'Delicious' Indian Food
