In an interview with GQ he spoke about coming out to his father while he was living with Krietemeyer
"I decided to send him an email. Because I was living with Joey, my boyfriend now, I wrote my father a very short email: 'I think it's time I tell you: I love. I am loved. His name is Joey, and we live together.' That was it," he said.
He continued, "My sexuality's something that's intimate. It's not anything that I'm ashamed of. I don't know many people who have a path similar to mine, so I've always been a little more reticent to be as open about it. I'm also not somebody who talks about sexuality that much. I'm a little old school in that sense."
Despite the sad news, Porowski's Queer Eye co-star Karamo Brown told Us Weekly that he's "happy in his life".
"He deserves all the happiness in the world. People don't realise what a sweet, empathetic person he is. So I just love that he's happy."
