Early life
[edit]Morgan grew up in the suburbs of Saint Louis. His family was deeply religious, attending an Assemblies of God church. In an interview with The Advocate, Morgan said he figured out early on he is gay, and he fasted and prayed asking God to "fix" him. Eventually, he came out to his parents and sister, hoping they could assist him in "obeying God" by not being gay. He spoke of a slow process and eventual turning point he and his family underwent before ultimately realizing Morgan was exactly as God made him.[3]
Personal life
[edit]
Morgan announced his engagement to NBC News correspondent Steven Romo in July 2021.

News, E! News, Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle, Kansas City Star, Fort Worth Star Telegram, Instinct, Out, DNA, The Advocate and more.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
The couple married on October 8, 2022, in Dallas, Texas at a venue on White Rock Lake in front of 125 guests. Their wedding also garnered a great deal of media attention, appearing in The New York Times Sunday Styles section,[13] People Magazine[14] and more.
