Who Is Raúl Domingo? Meet the Queer Oscar Nominee Colman Domingo’s Husband of 10 Years

Colman Domingo is an actor who is long overdue for recognition. He is a seasoned
veteran who became the first Afro-Latino ever nominated in the Best Actor
category at Oscars [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/oscars/] 2024. Regardless
of whether the film is a priority for the streaming giant, as many speculate
that Netflix is more focused on chasing rainbows with films like Maestro and
Nyad, Domingo seems to be standing on solid ground with his performance in
Rustin. This phenomenal portrayal has opened the doors to a gushing wave of
curiosity regarding Domingo’s personal life. Especially since it involves the
name of Raúl Domingo .

The Euphoria actor and his partner, Raúl Domingo, exchanged vows in 2014. Yet,
their romantic journey began nine years earlier with an unexpected meeting.


WHO IS RAÚL DOMINGO? 

Raúl Domingo is no stranger to juggling with different career options. He has
been working in both the arts and the business world for years now. He kicked
off his journey in the theater with some local and Off-Broadway scenes before
joining hands with esteemed luxury fashion houses like Lanvin and the Max Mara
Group. While his personal life remains largely private, his professional journey
has closely paralleled Colman Domingo’s since they crossed paths almost twenty
years ago.

During their first summer together, the Rustin actor landed a role in Juneau,
Alaska, and Raúl Domingo joined as an assistant costume designer to dodge the
hurdles of long-distance. Later, he shifted into writing and producing to team
up with Colman Domingo on projects such as New Moon and acting as a film
producer for Bottomless Brunch at Colman’s and the latest sci-fi thriller It’s
What’s Inside. However, only a few are aware of the sweet love story Raúl
Domingo shares with his husband.

Three years ago, Colman Domingo opened up about the genesis of his long-term
relationship with his husband, in an interview.


COLMAN DOMINGO ON HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS BETTER HALF

It was at a Walgreens where Colman and Raúl Domingo first laid eyes on each
other. However, the meeting was brief as the latter was hurried away by a
friend. Nevertheless, Colman Domingo could not help but dwell on the moment. “I
just felt something,” he confessed to GQ. Raúl Domingo, too, found himself
unable to shake the memory of the actor’s face despite the urgency of heading to
a party. Turning to Craigslist’s Missed Connections, Raúl Domingo penned a post:
“I saw you outside of Walgreens in Berkeley…”

The Color Purple actor came across the Missed Connections post addressed to him.
“I literally jumped out of my chair when I saw the post,” the 54-year-old
recounted. Within two days, they went on their first date and tied the knot in
California in 2014. Although after Rustin‘s Oscar campaign, Domingo’s
relationship has drawn a lot of curiosity, the actor wants people to also focus
on the craftsmanship of his movie
