Gay love is power.

By Will Stroude

Star Trek: Discovery star Anthony Rapp has celebrated his engagement to partner Ken Ithiphol with a stunning new shoot that’s giving us all the gooey feels ahead of Valentine’s Day.

The US actor, 48, paid tribute to his “beautiful, wonderful” husband-to-be as he shared a picture of the couple together on Twitter on Tuesday (11 February).

“Wanted to share this photo from our engagement shoot. I’m feeling pretty damn lucky”, Rapp wrote.

Rapp, who has starred as Lieutenant Commander Paul Stamets on Star Trek: Discovery since 2017, popped the question to Ithiphol last November after almost four years of dating.

The actor wrote at the time: “I asked Ken if he would marry me and he said yes. I am so very happy and I’m so very thrilled to share this news.”

As one half of Star Trek’s first ever same-sex couple alongside Wilson Cruz’s Dr. Hugh Culber, Rapp has helped break new ground for LGBTQ representation on TV – and if this egagement new shoot by Colagrossi & Co. is anything to go by, he’s winning in his personal life, too.
