Married

In April, Passage told Entertainment Tonight that he was battling depression and drug addiction when he met his husband during the filming of Tiger King.
Passage previously told PEOPLE that he was not able to have frequent communication with his husband, who is serving out a 22-year prison sentence.
“It’s something that is a day-to-day thing,” he said. “It’s kind of my normal life now. It’s kind of weird to say, but I’ve kind of gotten used to our situation.”
“The only thing that’s keeping us going is really just hoping for the best and these lawyers seem like they have a really good plan to kind of get things executed,” Passage explained.
Maldonado-Passage and his husband got engaged a short time after meeting and were married on Dec. 11, 2017, just two months after Maldonado-Passage’s previous husband, Travis Maldonado, accidentally shot himself and died.
