‘Our Flag Means Death’ Star Vico Ortiz’s Gender, Partner, and Dating History
All about Vico Ortiz’s personal life!
Vico Ortiz is a Puerto Rican actor, drag king, and activist best known for their role as Jim in the HBO Max television series Our Flag Means Death.
They have been active in the entertainment industry since 2014, but they got their big break in 2021 with the series The Sex Lives of College Girls. Since then, people have been curious about their personal life.
This mainly includes their gender, partner, dating history, age, family, and career. Here is all we know about the actor.
Exploring Vico Ortiz’s gender
Ortiz’s gender is nonbinary, and uses the pronouns they/them in English and elle/le/e in Spanish. They also identify as genderqueer and genderfluid.
The actor knew their gender when they were a kid. They told Remezcla, “If I had the vocabulary since I was a kid, I would know I was non-binary.”
Looking back at their childhood, they knew that they were non-binary because of the way they dressed and their behavior. Thankfully, their family was supportive of their choices.
They said, “My parents thankfully allowed me to explore myself in those ways, like wearing my dad’s clothes, shaving my not mustache, or plays when I was a kid.”
They moved to Los Angeles from Puerto Rico when they were 18. Since then, it has been difficult for them to visit their homeland. However, in 2019, they were able to go to Puerto Rico for an entire month.
It was then that Ortiz was able to connect with the queer community. They attended events where they “listened to people speaking Spanish, using inclusive language, being Puerto Rican and being queer, being loud, and being proud.”
They told PopSugar how they went to their first Kiki ball and signed up for a category they had no idea about. They attempted to vogue but had no idea about what they were doing. Yet, they had a lot of fun and came close to their gender.
They wrote, “Being in that space surrounded by queer people, surrounded by folks celebrating Puerto Rican Christmas traditions through a queer lens, and seeing person after person walking the runway, doing the categories, it was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I can be all of this. I can just be Vico and just be all of this, all at the same time.’”
Their family, once again, was there to support them. Ortiz’s dad found them a mustache and fake machete while their mother figured out how to dress up “in the most heroic way possible.”
They felt connected with the people and hence embraced their gender more. Around the same time, they did drag where they could accept and embrace their masculine side.
However, accepting their gender was not always easy. When they began performing and went to acting school, they were forced to “perform gender in a way that they expected gender and that the Latin experience did as well.”
It was not coming from an authentic place, so Ortiz often wondered how they could break free and find themselves again. Eventually, they realized that everything was merely a social construct.
They finally came out and started surrounding themselves with people who knew what gender was and understood the meaning of non-binary and gender non-conformity.
“And seeing them challenged my own expectations of what gender is. Because I was taught to assume before even getting to know someone. And I’d done the same thing to myself,” Ortiz said.
Eventually, Ortiz started challenging themselves and began reclaiming the parts they had lost throughout the years. They started to reflect and reconnect to their younger self.
“After that, after coming out, after connecting with “non-binary” as who I am, I felt like I was finally taking a deep breath in and knowing that I deserved this. I deserve to be in these spaces; acting and the many facets of life. I belong in these spaces. And I’m going to take this space,” they admitted.
Vico Ortiz’s partner and dating history
Not much is known about Ortiz’s dating history. However, they recently opened up about their love life and said they were in a polyamorous relationship.
This meant that they did not just have one partner but two. In July 2023, they took to Instagram to reveal their two partners — Ane Hernandez (they/them) and Jack Qu’emi (they/them).

In the caption, Ortiz explained how being held, loved, and cared for by their partners was a transcendental journey.
“A journey I’II never tire of. I’m loving in ways I never thought possible. I’m learning, unlearning, building, and deconstructing like never before,” they wrote.
They claimed that they were forever thankful for being in a polyamorous relationship and “its invitation to look compassionately within, to creatively, with care and genuine earnestness go beyond the binary to nurture these ~ sublime~ dynamics.”
They have not talked much about their partners, but Ortiz revealed they had been together with Qu’emi for a year as of August 2023.
Vico Ortiz’s Wikipedia — Age, family, and career
Ortiz was born on October 10, 1991, making their age 32 as of 2023. They were born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Their mother tongue is Spanish, but the actor is bilingual and can speak English and Spanish. Talking about their family, Ortiz was raised with one sibling. Their parents were actors as well who performed in theaters in Puerto Rico.
As a result, Ortiz and their brother grew up in theaters — which eventually inspired their career. Ortiz began their acting career in 2011 with the short film Oprah’s Audience Moves On. They had several parts in various shorts and TV series over the next few years.
Ortiz told their agency in 2017-2018 that they wanted to pursue roles of all genders, whether non-binary or not. When they were cast in non-queer parts, they began to recommend to the authors that their characters be non-binary, and several programs agreed.
In 2018, they played Ren St. Claire, one of the major characters in the LGBT online series Recon, about a group of teens attending a secret espionage school. They appeared in two episodes of the Vida later that year.
In 2019, they appeared in another queer web series Called These Thems as Vero, a non-binary character who befriends a 30-year-old woman who has recently come out. Ortiz also wrote the show’s Spanish subtitles.
They appeared in both The Sex Lives of College Girls and S.O.Z. Soldados o Zombies in 2021. They made their first major appearance in the HBO Max show Our Flag Means Death in 2022.
They played a non-binary pirate in this popular LGBT comedy about Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet’s dating history. In 2023, they voiced Hunter and Fern in Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake.

Richard Gadd’s Controversial Romance with Actress Auditioning for ‘Baby Reindeer’
All about his former dating life.
Baby Reindeer was a great hit for Richard Gadd, the creator and star of the Netflix series.
The British black comedy drama-thriller was adapted from Gadd’s autobiographical one-man show and hit the streaming service on April 11, 2024. The 7-episode drama, produced by Clerkenwell Films, was an instant hit and grabbed the attention of millions worldwide.
As Baby Reindeer was based on Gadd’s real-life events, viewers were instantly accustomed to digging deeper into the happenings of the series, mainly relationships. As if that wasn’t enough, his professional conduct was also questioned.
Days after Baby Reindeer hit Netflix, on April 16, 2024, a transgender actress named Reece Lyons came forward on X, claiming she and Gadd dated for a brief period and that she also auditioned for the role of Gadd’s ex-girlfriend, Teresa “Teri,” in the Netflix series.
Lyons never specifically mentioned Gadd or Baby Reindeer in her X thread but an investigation by Deadline confirmed that she was indeed talking about the Netflix show and its creator.
In her X thread, Lyons mentioned that she didn’t believe she was a victim of abuse but acknowledged that Gadd hurt her even if there was no conscious intent to do so. Additionally, she was hurt by Gadd “conflating a work opportunity with a dating dynamic.”
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons first met each other in October 2021. Both of them were in the bar of London’s Bush Theatre after Lyons had performed the one-woman show Overflow.
“I had met him in the bar after one of my shows. He was with a friend; they both approached me after my performance to congratulate me, and that’s when he offered to buy me a drink,” Lyons recalled her first encounter with Gadd on her X thread.
She then stated that she initially thought of declining the offer as she didn’t know Gadd but before she could decline the offer, she recognized him. She claimed that Gadd had followed her on Instagram a month earlier.
It was at that moment she realized that this wasn’t a normal chance encounter. She decided to accept his offer for a drink, after which they began their conversation. “We split off from his friend, and he began to tell me about his upcoming Netflix show that he had written,” she wrote.
Lyons continued her X thread by writing that Gadd had offered her the role of his ex-girlfriend, a trans woman. As per Lyons, Gadd mentioned that he allegedly didn’t treat his now-former girlfriend the best.
When Gadd offered the role, Lyons claimed she was interested in auditioning for the role and told him to contact her agent. Right after that, Gadd allegedly expressed his romantic feelings for Lyons.
Weeks after their first meet, Gadd contacted Lyons and asked her out on a date. She agreed even though she was mindful of the overlap between the romantic invitation and the upcoming audition. During their date, their conversations didn’t turn out well.

After a week, Lyons texted him and ended things prematurely. She told him that she didn’t think the conflation of the upcoming audition for Baby Reindeer and dating each other at the same time was very wise, and Gadd replied that he understood what she meant.
However, things didn’t end then and there between the two, as Lyons claimed that Gadd spontaneously called her two weeks later and expressed his desire to try dating again. When he said that, she felt conflicted as she had previously set clear boundaries and he appeared to understand them.
“‘What if I say, no?’ I asked myself. ‘Does that mean he would feel slighted, and I wouldn’t get the chance to audition?’ I decided to say yes and quickly found myself pulled back into his emotional chaos again,” Lyons wrote on her X thread.
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons had gone on four dates between October and November 2021, before the former decided to end things permanently in December of the same year. As per sources close to Gadd, some conversations about a Baby Reindeer audition might have taken place while the two were dating.
In March 2022, three months after Gadd and Lyons broke up, the latter auditioned for the role of Teresa “Teri” and submitted her self-tape to Nina Gold Casting. However, she wasn’t offered the role and it ultimately went to Mexican actress Nava Mau.
Deadline reported in May 2024 that Gadd had no control over the casting process on Baby Reindeer but provided some feedback on audition tapes to Clerkenwell Films. Likewise, Gadd and Lyons seemingly had a final conversation after the actress for the role of Teresa “Teri” was finalized.
As per Lyons’ X thread, Gadd reportedly consoled her over the phone and mentioned that her audition was exceptional. “But it’s out of my hands. Netflix is looking for somebody who’s already a star,” Gadd reportedly told Lyons.
Sources close to Gadd stated that Lyons was the one who asked him for feedback on her audition on the day of rejection. She then asked him, “But what about us?” to which he replied, “It’s not going to work. You’re too confrontational for me.” “And that was it,” she concluded.
After Lyons went public with her relationship with Gadd, Baby Reindeer’s producer Clerkenwell Films launched an investigation into Lyons’ comments. This investigation revealed that Gadd had not disclosed his romantic liaison with Lyons to Clerkenwell Films.
During the investigation process, Lyons was neither interviewed on the phone nor in person, as Clerkenwell Films believed that her X thread, along with other evidence, was enough. Clerkenwell Films ultimately concluded that Gadd behaved professionally and casting decisions were not compromised.

Logan Lerman opened up about his proposal to Analusia Corrigan
Lerman recently opened up about the charming way he proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Corrigan.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 32-year-old actor shared the delightful details of how he popped the question in an unconventional yet romantic setting – a rowboat in New York City’s iconic Central Park.
He revealed that while in New York, he initially had no concrete plan for the proposal but soon realized he needed a private and intimate setting.
Corrigan, 29, pointed out the rowboats; he thought it would be a perfect idea but discovered that he lacked the necessary rowing skills.
He described how his fiancée ended up doing all the hard work, rowing the boat. At the same time, he sat back and enjoyed the scenery.
As they drew the attention of onlookers amused by the sight of Corrigan manning the oars, he bided his time until they reached a secluded part of the lake.
In that tranquil moment, surrounded by the beauty of Central Park, Lerman seized the opportunity and popped the question to his beloved.
Despite the initial challenges, the proposal went smoothly. Lerman’s heartwarming tale beautifully captures the essence of love, spontaneity, and the willingness to embrace unexpected moments that make memories truly special.

After the heartwarming proposal in Central Park, Lerman and his fiancée, Corrigan, made a stunning red carpet appearance, celebrating their love and future together.
On March 21, the couple graced the premiere of Hulu’s We Were the Lucky Ones in Los Angeles, radiating joy and complementing each other perfectly with their coordinated looks.
Lerman, known for his role in Bullet Train, cut a dashing figure in a sleek black overcoat and dress pants, adding a touch of sophistication with a silver silk shirt. Meanwhile, Corrigan, stunned in a chic black bandeau dress, exuding elegance and confidence.
Their red carpet debut as an engaged couple came four months after Corrigan took to Instagram to share the exciting news of Lerman’s proposal.

Who is Analusia Corrigan?
Lerman’s fiancée, Corrigan, is a talented artist whose journey has been shaped by her diverse cultural experiences and the unwavering support of her family.
Growing up in San Diego, her frequent road trips to Mexico with her mother instilled in her a deep appreciation for culture, which she later incorporated into her art.
It was her father’s work with the renowned Alvin Ailey dance company in New York City that ignited a new creative spark within her. She viewed the crew as a “window to real people in real life,” an experience she didn’t have on the West Coast.
Her parents played a pivotal role in nurturing her artistic aspirations, always ensuring that she understood the value of the arts and that being an artist was a viable career path.

Her artistic pursuits led her to enroll at the Parsons School of Design, where she initially studied oil painting but later pivoted to graphic design, realizing the challenges of succeeding in the former field.
However, after graduation, Corrigan discovered that her true passion lay not in technology but in creating tangible works with her hands.
It was during the COVID-19 pandemic that Corrigan found her calling in ceramic art, initially selling ashtrays and mugs with unique designs. Her work explores “figurative shapes and their innate matter, language and sensation,” as described on her website.
From lamps and mirrors to wall hangings, Corrigan’s creations are a testament to her talent and dedication.
Now displaying her art at shows and during New York City’s design week, Corrigan has garnered a steady stream of clients. She remains grateful for the opportunity to have her creations grace the intimate spaces of people’s homes.

Lerman and Corrigan’s relationship timeline is a heartwarming tale of love that blossomed from a long-distance connection into a deep, lasting bond.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in January 2020 when they were linked together. However, they kept their relationship relatively private in its early stages.
It wasn’t until August 2022 that Lerman and Corrigan made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of Bullet Train, marking a significant milestone in their journey together.
Despite the initial distance, with Corrigan residing in New York City and Lerman in Los Angeles, they found a way to make their relationship thrive.
She has provided glimpses into their life together through her Instagram account, which is primarily dedicated to showcasing her exceptional work as a ceramic artist.
However, she occasionally shares endearing snaps of Lerman, who sometimes lends a helping hand in her studio, highlighting the supportive and collaborative nature of their partnership.

From hiking in the Pacific Northwest to immersing themselves in the beauty of Italy, their love has flourished amidst breathtaking landscapes and new experiences.
