Jim loves the theatre. When he has free time, he performs in various plays. And yes, Parsons is openly gay.
The actor is in a relationship with art director Todd Spivak. They have been in a relationship since 2002, but for the first ten years, the actor and designer managed to keep it a secret. Everything was made public in May 2012, when Jim's interview with the New York Times came out.
During this interview, Jim Parsons revealed to a reporter that he was gay. In addition, Jim admitted that he has been in a relationship for the past ten years. In addition to Jim and Todd's personal relationship, they are business partners and owners of a production company called That's Wonderful Productions.
His ideal man
Jim Parsons has already found his ideal man, his name is Todd. While performing at various ceremonies, the actor spoke about his partner several times. At the 2013 Emmy Awards, Jim stated that Todd is his favorite person in the whole world. Once in a well-known social network, the actor wrote that Todd is the best thing that has ever happened to him.
Since the relationship has been kept secret for ten years, it's probably important to Jim that his partner is someone who keeps his life a secret. And Todd certainly is such a person. It is almost impossible to find any information about him on the Internet.
Marriage and his opinion about it
There have been many rumors about the marriage of Jim and Todd, but this has not happened to date. When he was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016, Ellen asked him if he was going to get married. Jim replied that it was a difficult question, adding that his life with Todd was fine without it. After that, Ellen advised him to get married, because their relationship would become even better. Jim also commented on this suggestion:When you're in a relationship for 15 years, it doesn't matter where you are with the person you love, it only matters that you are with that person.

Jim Parsons' personal life has ceased to be a secret after coming out in 2012. But his confessions did not affect the devoted love of the fans, because he is so talented, and for many years has been amusing fans of the Big Bang Theory show, playing the main role in it.
Biography of Jim Parsons
From the age of six on the school stage
James Joseph Parsons was born on March 24, 1973 in Houston. The boy really liked the sitcoms of that time. He adored The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Three's Company, and liked to imagine himself in the shoes of the characters. Jim was only six when he first appeared on the school stage. From now on, there was no performer more charming and funnier on the amateur stage of Jim's native school than he was.
The student biography of Jim Parsons also developed quite successfully and cheerfully. Entering the University of Houston, he wandered from one performance to another, in three courses there were more than 15 of them. At 26, Parsons became a graduate student at the University of San Diego and took a special course in theater arts.
A series of failures
After moving to New York, the newly minted actor Jim Parsons performed on various theater stages, starred in commercials. He dreamed of Broadway, but so far he could not get through there, and then television entered his life. He became a regular participant in castings. The lanky handsome guy was already recognized, warmly welcomed, but often he left the audition with nothing. By his own admission, there were almost three dozen such attempts. If the casting turned out to be successful, then the project was covered immediately after the pilot episode, what a bad luck!
The role I dreamed of
The chain of failures and inconspicuous roles in TV movies broke the new CBS project. As soon as Parsons read the script, he immediately realized that Sheldon was what he had dreamed of all these fruitless years of searching for "his" role. Despite the genre (another sitcom was planned), this role could not be called simple: the hero is, after all, a scientist, he likes to reason, the dialogues are long and often “near-scientific”. The creators of the show liked Jim: his sweet clumsiness, grimaces, intonations - everything came together just perfectly. So on the threshold of his 34th birthday, actor Jim Parsons became Sheldon Cooper for many years.
This is surprising, but the series does not bother the audience, they are waiting for new discoveries and the next funny alterations that their favorite characters fall into. And since the ratings of the show are consistently high, it is constantly renewed. The role brought Parsons 4 Emmys and the prestigious Golden Globe (Jim won it, beating talented colleagues Alex Baldwin, Matthew Morrison, Thomas Jane and Steve Carell).
Rare guest on the big screen
The biography of Jim Parsons is strongly associated with TV (he is one of the highest paid performers, now his fee for each episode of Theory is a million dollars, and yet the series lasts only 20 minutes!). Maybe that's why he does not have enough time and energy to act in films?
He, of course, has works for the big screen, but very little. For example, in 2014, the drama Wish I Was Here was released with his participation. The history of the film's creation is very interesting: it was partially filmed with money raised through a special Internet site (that is, with donators' funds). And the director (and the lead actor) was Zach Braff, who also became famous for his TV role - in the "Clinic".
Personal life of Jim Parsons
Mom's favorite
Jim has a very warm relationship with his mother (he is the eldest son in a family that has raised two children). So on March 11, 2015, she came to support her firstborn.
After all, Jim Parsons' star was opened on the Walk of Fame that day. The actor's personal life is also very successful - more than ten years ago he met Todd Spivak. They quickly became close and have been living together for a long time. A few years ago, Parsons publicly announced his homosexuality. And on May 13, 2017, Todd and Jim formalized their relationship.

short biography
Born March 24, 1973 in Houston, Texas, in an ordinary American family. From the age of six, Jim dreamed of becoming an actor, after playing a bird in a school production of Cola-Cola. He has always been especially attracted to comedies. After leaving school, Parsons entered the University of Houston. During his studies, he acted in 17 plays.
After receiving his bachelor's degree, Jim founded the theater company Infernal Bridegroom Productions and was actively involved in plays himself. In 1999, he applied to the University of San Diego for a special two-year drama program. In 2001, Parsons moved to New York, where he appeared in Broadway productions and television shows.
Early in his career, Jim appeared in several commercials and in a video clip for Stand Up To Cancer, a cancer charity. He also appeared in the pilot episodes of television series, which turned out to be a failure for one reason or another. According to Parsons himself, their number ranges from 15 to 30. Of course, not all projects were shelved, some still came out on the screens (Fair Amy, Ed, Eureka, iCarly, "Glen Martin"), but these works did not bring him fame.
The actor was glorified throughout the world by the popular television series The Big Bang Theory (2007-2013), where he played a young genius physicist, Ph.D. Sheldon Cooper. After reading the script, Jim was fascinated by the dialogue and realized that the role of Cooper suited him perfectly. Despite the difference in the characters of the hero and his performer, at the first audition, Parsons managed to greatly impress one of the authors of the project, Chuck Lorre. In 2010 and 2011, Jim was nominated for a Primetime Emmy in the Outstanding Comedy Actor category.
In 2011, the actor embodied Crane in the Big Year movie. Two years earlier, for great achievements in the comedy genre, he received the Television Critics Association Award, beating such eminent actors as Alec Baldwin, Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Matthew Morrison.
Parsons now lives in Los Angeles. He loves to play the piano, follows sports competitions, and is especially fond of baseball, basketball, and tennis. At 39, the actor looks great: he carefully monitors his appearance. Little is known about his family, as the actor does not like to flaunt his personal life, but does not hide his homosexuality. Jim's relationship with his current partner has been going on for over 10 years.
When Jim Parsons shared his big bang news, everyone gasped!.. Surprise! He is a gay! Yes, such a coming out! During his Golden Globes acceptance speech, Jim thanked his partner, Todd Spivak. The tabloids have long suggested an engagement, but Jim has never officially spoken about his sexuality.
Until now, fans were still hoping to find out what was going on in his personal life and who his girlfriend was.
Not too long ago, Patrick Healy of The New York Times confirmed the sexuality rumors of the Big Bang Theory star, a 39-year-old actor who recently starred in a Broadway revival of Harvey. The revelation came later in the article when Healy was describing Parsons' role in the 2011 drama The Normal Heart. Healy wrote:
"The Normal Heart" resonates with him on several levels: Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with the cast on stage was like nourishment to him."
Parsons' sexuality has been a source of media speculation for several years. Although the New York Times did not identify Parsons' partner, the actor himself revealed the cards when he thanked Todd Spivak at the Emmy Awards, as reported above.
Jim's friend Todd Spivak looks set to become famous, though he probably doesn't want to. Since the Big Bang Theory actor made an official statement that he was actually gay, people immediately tried to find out who the partner of Parsons, whom Jim had hidden from the whole world for ten years. Rumors circulated a few years ago when all stories were dubious, but it seems the fans had a right to it. Parsons is actually gay, however this is not news to the gay community. In 2010, the Enquirer claimed that on the night of the Emmys when Parsons received the Emmy, he thanked his (then rumored) man and supposedly proposed to him!
“Jim Parsons walked away with two fantastic prizes that same night – an Emmy and a husband! The 37-year-old star celebrated the win by proposing to longtime friend Todd Spivak - and now they're planning a Christmas trip to Massachusetts where they'll tie the knot.
"After he received his award, he told Todd the only thing that would make him happier was their marriage - and Todd quickly said yes!" a close friend of the couple told The Enquirer.
Jim Parsons and Todd Spivak, the art director, began dating a long time ago and began living together in the same house in Los Angeles in 2011. The actor has never publicly discussed his relationship, but he hasn't tried to hide the fact that he and Todd are a couple.
"Jim rarely talked about his relationship because he keeps his personal life a secret, but that fact doesn't stop them from loving each other!" - said one of their friends.
That same year, Queerty magazine reported that the couple were engaged, and it was no secret in the gay community. And while we really don't know for sure if they got married secretly, it's safe to say that they can feel relieved that now they don't have secrets from the press.
As for the biography of Todd Spivak, little is known about him. A Facebook profile was discovered (but has since been deleted) that looked plausible, but was rarely updated. A Live Journal blog has also been unearthed, which appears to have been owned by either Todd and Jim or fans of the gay couple. There are a bunch of photos that have been posted on the blog, including some from a basketball game in March 2012.
