Divorce: Last News

Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton, Ricky Martin and Jwan Yusef, and Billy Porter and Adam Smith.Coincidentally, the recently single Porter is the star of this year’s Our Son, one of the first movies to bring a gay divorce to the big screen.Porter plays Gabriel, a former actor who takes on most of the stay-at-home dad duties for 8-year-old son Owen (Christopher Woodley), while his husband Nicky (Luke Evans) devotes much of his time to his stressful job in the publishing industry.Years into their marriage, Gabriel finally accepts that he’s been unhappy for quite some time, and decides to file for divorce. Though they agree to navigate the separation amicably, complications over co-parentage lead the two toward a custody battle that “forces both of them to confront the changing reality of their love for each other and for their son.”In other words, Our Son sounds a bit like Kramer Vs. Kramer—but make it gay.The film, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this past summer and currently has an 85% approval rating on RottenTomatoes, looks to be a great showcase for both Porter and Evans.
