TheEuphoriastar has been married to Raúl Domingo since 2014, but their romance began nine years earlier with an unexpected interaction.

Domingo met Raúl in a Walgreens parking lot in 2005, but they only locked eyes and didn’t say anything to each other at the time.

“I just felt something,” Colman toldGQof the encounter with his now-husband during a 2021 interview. That feeling continued, prompting the actor to take action the next day. He turned to the internet to help with his search.

Upon finding Raúl online, he learned that his feelings were mutual — as he, too, was searching for Colman after their parking lot run-in. The two ultimately connected, met up in person and have been in love ever since.

During an appearance onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbertin August 2022, Colman revealed how he met Raúl almost two decades ago.

“OK, you gotta picture 17 years ago, I was walking down the street going into a Walgreens in Berkeley, California,” the actor began. “We passed each other. We never spoke.”

“A few days later, I’m on Craigslist tryna buy a used computer to help with my writing. I went to the home screen and you know, they have Missed Connections, things like ads, so I would read them because I’m a romantic,” Colman continued.

As he scrolled through them, he had Raúl in mind after crossing paths, although they didn’t speak at the time. Colman explained, “I go to the second page of Missed Connections and it said, ‘Saw you outside of Walgreens, Berkeley.'”

They “met up two days later” after Raúl described Colman perfectly. “I told him, ‘I think you’re about to change my life and I love you,'” said theEuphoriaactor, concluding, “And we’ve been together ever since.”
