When it comes to love, Zack Wickham isn’t afraid to spill the tea. The handsome reality star is serving up some serious relationship goals on national TV with his boyfriend, Benji Quach. These two are not just another pretty face in the reality show world; they’re redefining what it means to be in an open relationship, and honey, we are here for it.
Wickham, who calls West Hollywood home, and Quach, who’s living it up in Toronto, have been navigating their long-distance love for nearly three years. But instead of letting the miles come between them, they’ve opened up their relationship, creating a dialogue that’s as refreshing as it is necessary. “I’ve really enjoyed being able to show other sides of me that I didn’t get to show at first. It’s very important for visibility to show we’re here and we’re not going anywhere,” Wickham told Out.
And let’s be real, navigating an open relationship on national television is no walk in the park. But Wickham is all about sharing his journey to inspire others. “As long as you are openly communicative with each other and it’s hurting no one, you can set your own rules. We don’t have to live in a heteronormative society. I’m glad I can talk about and inspire others to have open communication with their partner. Gays talk about our sex life in the first conversation of the first date. That’s just what we do!”
What a mood! The LGBTQ+ community has been at the forefront of redefining love, and Wickham is proud to be part of that narrative. He’s breaking down barriers and showing that love can look different for everyone. “We at different times are open or not open. The biggest challenge is the acceptance that there will be other people that will come into our relationship. If I want to know what’s going on, you have to tell me. If I don’t ask, I don’t want to know. You have to set up your own rules and it’ll develop on its own. Every single relationship is different,” he explains.
With their reality show, The Valley, airing Wednesday nights on Bravo, fans are getting a front-row seat to this dynamic duo’s journey. They’re not just entertaining; they’re educating and encouraging others to have those tough conversations about love and relationships. So, whether you’re in a committed partnership or exploring the open scene, take a page out of Wickham and Quach’s book – communication is key, darling.
