John DeLuca and Rob Marshall

Jon DeLuca is a producer who lives in New York with his best friend and lifetime partner, the famed director Rob Marshall. Rob’s work includes memorable productions, such as Into The Woods, Cats, and more. They have been together since 2004 and are still going strong. You might be surprised that it wasn’t always easy for this couple, however.

Their first meet up wasn’t ideal. John had just broken up with another man and Rob was with somebody else, though the relationship was already shaky. They were not interested in each other romantically at first, but needed the friendship to help them get through their struggles. After a while, however, they could no longer deny their connection and their friendship keeps on leading them to the path of becoming something more. What bloomed between them is one of the most beautiful relationships on our list, not to mention, also one of the strongest.
