Kal Penn surprised fans by announcing his engagement to his partner of 11 years, Josh, while promoting his 2021 memoir, You Can’t Be Serious. Known for his roles in movies like Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and TV shows such as House, Penn has kept his relationship with Josh private due to Josh's preference for a low profile.
Penn shared that their relationship was always open within their circle of friends and family but chose to reveal it publicly only after the release of his book to respect Josh's privacy. Little is known about Josh, as Penn has been selective in sharing details about him.
The couple met in Washington, D.C., while Penn was working in the Obama administration. Despite an unimpressive first date involving NASCAR and beer, their relationship blossomed over the years. They have been spotted together at basketball games and have received support from Penn's family after he came out as gay.
Penn has expressed differing views with Josh on their wedding plans, with Penn leaning towards a big Indian wedding while Josh prefers a more intimate affair. Despite the pandemic delaying their discussions, they aim to find a middle ground for their special day.
In a humorous twist, Penn shared a dream of having Cardi B officiate their wedding, to which Cardi responded positively. While there have been no recent updates on their wedding plans, fans are excited about the possibility of a famous officiant at their ceremony.
