The private couple had last been photographed together last September leading to rumors of a potential rift between them.
Zachary joined the ranks of celebrities like Ricky Martin, Lance Bass and Ellen DeGeneres by publicly admitting that he was gay back in 2011.
The following year he and former Glee star Jonathan went public about their relationship.

'As a gay man, it made me feel like there's still so much work to be done, and there's still so many things that need to be looked at and addressed,' he said.
The actor also became vocal about the bullying of young gay and lesbian teenagers -even making a video for the It Gets Better campaign'
And again, as a gay man I look at that and say there’s a hopelessness that surrounds it, but as a human being I look at it and say Why?
'Where’s this disparity coming from, and why can’t we as a culture and society dig deeper to examine that? We’re terrified of facing ourselves,' he said in reference to bullying.
