3. When did Murphy and Miller get married?
Two years after their first official date, the couple tied the knot in a private wedding on July 4, 2012. They exchanged vows on the beach in Provincetown, where only their officiant was present. Both have been relatively private when it comes to their marriage, but in the same year that they said “I do,” Murphy created a series called The New Normal, which followed a successful gay couple who desire to have a baby. Although it only lasted for one season, Murphy explained that he wanted to depict the challenges that come with trying to have a child as a gay couple.
While speaking with Collider, he said, “The show is loosely based on my life, and the show came about because my partner and I have been having conversations about surrogacy. If you watch the show, we’re hopefully really writing a great depth to this couple. It’s not easy to be a gay couple having a child, and we deal with those issues.”
