Blonsky initially came out on TikTok in 2020 when she posted a video of herself dancing to Diana Ross's classic gay anthem "I'm Coming Out."

She wrote the caption, "Hi, It's Nikki Blonsky from the movie I'm Gay," playing on the popular meme of her introducing herself as "Nikki Blonsky from the movie Hairspray."

Her fiance is a nonbinary artist from Ogden, Utah who makes handmade crystal jewelry. Congrats to the happy couple!
