In 2008, Stewart began dating Sunny Ozell, a singer and songwriter based in Brooklyn, New York, whom Stewart met while performing in Macbeth at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.[73] Stewart purchased a home in Park Slope, Brooklyn, in August 2012,[74] and subsequently began living there with Ozell.[73] In March 2013, it was reported that Stewart and Ozell were engaged,[73] and they married in September 2013 with Sir Ian McKellen performing the wedding ceremony.[73][75]

And my best to you, too.


on edit: I wanted the pics to offer a fun and eclectic mix. There are many, many Ian/Patrick pics out there. Such are such things with two people as they are. They love having fun. And they are great friends.

Who cannot absolutely love it all?
