"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Jeremiah Brent is the latest addition to Queer Eye (he replaced Bobby Berk—it’s been a whole thing), and if your immediate response to this news was he’s gorgeous I must know everything about his personal life, then buckle up. Because Jeremiah’s relationship with interior designer Nate Berkus is best described as beautiful as well as several other adjectives (cute? adorable? romantic? pick one). Here’s a comprehensive timeline of their relationship if you need to know absolutely everything.

Nate hops on Instagram and uploads this photo of Jeremiah. Cue the ’ship speculation!
December 14, 2012
Page Six (via Us Weekly) announces that Nate and Jeremiah are officially dating, with a source saying, “They were kissing at the sunglass rack in the [Barneys] men’s section.” Incredible reporting, no notes.
Anyway, these two actually first connected during a “friend hang” while looking at antiques. As Nate put it to People, “I was sitting in a brown leather chair and we were just talking. And I remember thinking to myself, Oh god, what is this? This is not what I thought it was. There was something about him that, in his presence, I just felt so safe.”
Just FYI: Jeremiah’s former boss Rachel Zoe is the one who introduced them!

Nate tells CBS, “It’s been really interesting. Being engaged is such a strange stage because you’re not married and you’re not dating. It’s interesting the questions people ask when you’re engaged. They want to know every detail about the wedding. And it’s like, ‘We just got engaged. We’re celebrating the fact that we got engaged.’ Jeremiah and I are really excited about it though.”

10 years ago I walked down the aisle and into your arms. I thought I had seen the sun, but I had yet to feel its shine — until I met you.
We have done so much together, been so much for one another, and every year it gets better and better.
On our wedding day I promised you honor, laughter, the presence of mind, the promise to listen, and the conviction to continually grow — and today I find myself more in love with you than ever.
Both sides now.
Happy 10 year anniversary, My Love.
Nate also shared his own post commemorating the occasion, writing, "10. And every year better than the one before. I did not think my heart could expand any further, but as you are singularly capable of, you have proven me wrong yet again. I love us. Happy Anniversary."

“I love what I do, so it doesn’t really feel like work. But when it’s family time, it’s family time,” Nate told the outlet. “I think it’s really important to mindfully carve out time for the different parts of your life so you can fully show up, whether that’s as a designer, a husband or a father.”
As for Jeremiah's journey with parenting, he said, “I don’t pretend to be an expert! I’ve figured out what works for us in each season—but it’s a daily practice as our children grow and evolve.”
He continued, “I think the one thing that I can give them (that I am very committed to) is consistency,” he shares. “Consistency in love, consistency in attention, consistency in boundaries.... For us, that’s what has been really effective. We have beautiful kids with beautiful spirits. And beautiful manners.”
