It looks like Zachary Quinto may have a new man in his life.

The 36-year-old Star Trek star and his rumored new model boyfriend Miles McMillan stepped out in NYC yesterday to walk Quinto's two dogs together.

Quinto, who's been living in New York while acting in the Broadway revival of The Glass Menagerie, and McMillan, 23, were snapped strolling around the Big Apple side by side while bundled up to stay warm amid the chilly winter weather. Quinto sported jeans, a puffy green jacket and a green beanie with sunglasses while the model donned skinny black jeans, a long black pea coat and sunglasses.

Back in October, Quinto and McMillan were snapped walking around NYC together holding hands and looking very affectionate. They've been spotted numerous other times together around NYC as well, though neither has confirmed they are officially dating yet.

Quinto and McMillan, a San Diego native, reportedly met this summer overseas. They were first snapped together in Ireland at the Galway Film Festival.

Quinto previously dated Jonathan Groff. The former lovebirds were together a year before breaking up in July.

Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff Call It Quits, Remain Friends

By Jeremy Blacklow | omg! – Fri, Jul 19, 2013 2:09 PM EDT

Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff, June 2012 (Splash News)

UPDATE: Omg! spoke on Friday with multiple sources who have insight to the relationship, who tell us the following: Zachary and Jonathan broke up around five months ago and remain close friends. They even had dinner together a couple of weeks ago.

News of their breakup first surfaced last week, when both were expected to attend the opening night of Outfest (the L.A. gay and lesbian film festival), in support of Jonathan's new film "C.O.G.", but everyone was surprised when Zachary didn't join him on the red carpet.

Zachary was also seen on a date with another guy at a Cinema Society screening of Madonna's new concert  in NYC a few weeks. According to our source, they were "openly affectionate."

They broke up both because of their busy schedules and the fact that they wanted different things from the relationship.

========================================

Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff have called it quits as a couple, several outlets report, although they apparently have been dunzo for a while now.

The "Star Trek Into Darkness" star and the "Glee" guest actor broke up last spring, according to Gossip Cop and Us Weekly. While both outlets report that they remain good friends, Perez Hilton claims that things did "not end well." The couple reportedly started dating in early 2012.

Us Weekly points out that it was distance that put a strain on the relationship. "Zach being away and filming was not easy on them," a source tells the mag. "Now he's going to be in New York with his new play ['The Glass Menagerie']. They really loved each other, so it wasn't an easy split."

As mentioned, the thespians are on friendly terms. According to JustJared.com, Quinto went to see Groff perform recently on stage (Groff appeared this spring in L.A. Theatre Works's production of the play "Red," as well as a one-night only benefit performance of "The Pirates of Penzance" in NYC on June 10).

But the couple hasn't been photographed together since back in February, when they were seen out walking their dogs together in Boston. Quinto was snapped walking the pups with a mystery man in NYC in early June.

It's been a tough week for Groff, who is best friends with "Glee" star Lea Michele. He reportedly flew immediately to be by her side in the wake of her boyfriend Cory Monteith's death on Saturday. Groff — who was also friends with Monteith — and Michele met when they co-starred on Broadway together in 2006's "Spring Awakenings." He was previously romantically linked to Broadway star Gavin Creel.

Groff is currently in production on "Glee" showrunner Ryan Murphy's film version of Larry Kramer's "The Normal Heart." Next, he'll be shooting a new series for HBO about the contemporary gay male experience living in San Francisco (which some have called "the gay 'Girls'"), in which he plays a video game designer who's looking for love on OKCupid. He recently gave an extended interview to the San Francisco Chronicle talking about his upcoming projects.

This was the first significant gay relationship for Quinto since he came out of the closet in October 2011. The actor acknowledged in a blog post on his personal website that he was motivated to do so by the suicide of teen Jamey Rodemeyer. "In light of jamey's death," he wrote, "It became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it - is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality."

Omg! reached out to reps for both actors about their breakup. Groff's rep has "no comment" and Quinto's rep has not yet replied as of publication.

Zachary Quinto ‘splits from Jonathan Groff ‘

18 July 2013

Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff are said to not be on speaking terms after they recently broke up.

The Star Trek Into Darkness actor and his partner dated for almost a year.

Apparently the pair are no longer on speaking terms after ending the relationship acrimoniously.

A source told PerezHilton.com it "not end well” between the men.

Zachary, 37, was recently seen walking their dogs with another man, according to the website.

The reason for the split remains unclear.

Zachary confirmed their romance during an interview published last September.

“One of the most defining conversations that I had with myself was that absolutely no good can come from me staying quiet about [my sexuality]. Literally, no good can come from it,” he told Out magazine. “But if I take the step to make the acknowledgment and be honest, so much good could potentially come from it.

“I’m incredibly happy, I’m incredibly lucky,” he added in regards to his relationship with Jonathan.

In March, engagement rumours began to swirl.

Apparently Zachary was thinking about popping the question to his love.

"It’s by far the happiest relationship he’s ever been in,” a source told America’s Star magazine. “They’ve been serious for a while now, but things have heated up since they started living together."

Jonathan meanwhile recently stopped work on his new film and jet from New York to Los Angeles to console his best friend and Glee co-star Lea Michele in the wake Cory Monteith’s death.

Lea was dating the actor at the time of his sudden passing on Saturday.

A coroner ruled this week Cory died from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol.

It's splitsville for "Star Trek" hunk Zachary Quinto and boyfriend Jonathan Groff.

According to both US Weekly and Perez Hilton, the handsome pair's conflicting work schedules were to blame for the breakup.

"Zach being away and filming was not easy on them," US Weekly quotes a source as saying. "Now he's going to be in New York with his new Broadway play 'The Glass Menagerie.' They really loved each other, so it wasn't an easy split."

Meanwhile, Perez Hilton cites a source who claims the split was far from amiable, noting that things did "not end well" for the Hollywood pair.

Groff, a Broadway veteran known for his role on TV's "Boss" opposite Kelsey Grammar as well as guest-starring stints on "Glee," is currently gearing up to star in an as-yet-untitled HBO series which he recently described as focusing on "the gay experience." He'll also be seen opposite Julia Roberts and Mark Ruffalo in the film version of Larry Kramer's "The Normal Heart," which is set to air on HBO next year.

Groff is also said to be consoling "Glee" co-star Lea Michele, whom he befriended during the run of Broadway's "Spring Awakening," on the death of her boyfriend Cory Monteith, according to US Weekly.

In September 2012, Quinto confirmed he and Groff were in a relationship, but did not elaborate further.
"I'm incredibly happy, I'm incredibly lucky," Quinto told Out Magazine at the time.

Star Trek's Zachary Quinto has split from his long-term boyfriend Jonathan Groff.

A source close to the situation told the GossipCop blog 'they remain friends' and added there is 'nothing salacious' to the story.

In fact Zachary even recently went to see Jonathan perform on stage

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.

Speaking to New York Magazine at the time Zachary opened-up about his sexuality.

'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.

"I'm incredibly happy, I'm incredibly lucky," Quinto told Out Magazine of their relationship at the time.

"I found myself in a pattern of being attracted to people who were somehow unavailable, and what I realized was that I was protecting myself because I equated the idea of connection and love with trauma and death."

"I had to do a lot of work on the couch to really get to a place where I was able to show up to a relationship with someone who was actually capable of being in one — and that took a lot of trial and error," he added.

Zachary Quinto: Gay marriage is unstoppable

Zachary Quinto

26 June 2013

Zachary Quinto believes same-sex couples’ push for equal rights in the US is an unstoppable movement and hopes tomorrow’s Supreme Court ruling will prove that.

The US Supreme Court is scheduled to rule on two cases involving the issue on Wednesday.

The decision involves a nearly five-year battle over California's Proposition 8, which removed the right to marry from same-sex couples in the state.

A ruling is also due on the Defense of Marriage Act which forbids same-sex couples the right to marry across the US.

Zachary, who came out as gay years ago, hopes the rulings will be a “galvansing moment”.

“I'm hopeful that [same-sex marriage] will be supported and we'll continue to move forward,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

Regardless of which way the ruling swings Zachary is certain homosexual couples will eventually share the same rights as heterosexual ones.

While it might not happen as soon as he’d like the star is committed to doing everything he can to push for equal rights.

"I think no matter what happens, it's an unstoppable wave at this point, and I've said that before because I really believe it," he continued.

"[Acceptance] might take longer and it might happen tomorrow, but it will happen. Whether that means individually, state by state, or by a sweeping decision, that remains to be seen, but I'll still do everything I can to fight for and support it and advocate it, and that's all I can do."

Zachary opened up about his sexual orientation in a blog post on his website in 2011.

He feels it’s his duty as a high-profile individual to be an activist for the gay-rights movement.

"It became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality," he wrote.

"Our society needs to recognise the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay lesbian bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country.”

For Zachary Quinto, it’s only a matter of time before gay marriage is made legal. Quinto spoke ahead of the Supreme Court’s planned ruling on two gay marriage cases and said that gay marriage is an inevitable reality.

“I think no matter what happens, it’s an unstoppable wave at this point, and I’ve said that before because I really believe it,” said Quinto to the Hollywood Reporter. “[Acceptance] might take longer, and it might not happen tomorrow, but it will happen. Whether that means individually, state by state, or a sweeping decision, that remains to be seen… but I’m hopeful that [gay] marriage will be supported and we’ll continue to move forward.”

Quinto, best known for his roles in Star Trek and Heroes, has long been a supporter of gay rights issues. He has worked extensively with the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention initiative for gay teenagers, and contributed a video to the It Gets Better project. He also appeared in the play The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later, which chronicled the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard.

Quinto came out in an October 2011 interview with New York Magazine while discussing his role in the Broadway play Angels in America, in which he played a gay man who leaves his AIDS-afflicted boyfriend. The actor casually described himself as a “gay man” while discussing the significance of the role. He has remained active in speaking out on gay rights issues since then, including marriage equality and anti-bullying initiatives in schools. He’s also campaigned in support of Barack Obama and appeared in the video Obama Pride: LGBT Americans For Obama.

"It became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality," he wrote in an October 2011 blog post shortly after coming out.  I believe in the power of intention to change the landscape of our society, and it is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action."

Quinto’s latest film, Star Trek Into Darkness, was released last month and has already grossed $430 million at the box office. He has been in a relationship since last year with actor Jonathan Groff.
