House star, 44, shares the story of how he and Josh met in his new book, You Can't Be Serious—set to be released on Tuesday—with the pair meeting as Penn worked in former President Barack Obama's administration.Penn, who was employed in the White House's public engagement office for more than two years, has told People about his decision to publicly share his relationship."I've always been very public with everybody I've personally interacted with," said Penn. "Whether it's somebody that I meet at a bar, if Josh and I are out or we're talking to friends.
I'm really excited to share our relationship with readers."But Josh, my partner, my parents, and my brother, four people who I'm closest to in the family, are fairly quiet.
