Noah Schnapp has made relationship Instagram official with his new partner
Stranger Things actor Noah Schnapp has made his relationship Instagram official with his new partner, three years since coming out.
Back in 2016, Noah rose to fame with his role as Will Byers in the hit Netflix science fiction show.
The 21-year-old, who portrayed a gay teen hiding his true self on the series, once expressed how he was “frightened and in hiding” for several years.
However, he has now subtly introduced his new partner on his Instagram story.
Noah posted a photo of the two embracing on Wednesday night.
The endearing photo was captured from behind as they enjoyed the breathtaking city view from a rooftop.
Noah and his partner have only been together briefly, with the actor expressing to fans: “A month of us,” with a heart emoji.
The actor hasn't yet revealed the name of his new partner.
Despite this, fans are thrilled and have flocked to social media to share their happiness.
One fan commented: “I’m overjoyed for him, congratulations Noah, you’ve earned it all.
Another joked: “Happy for you, Noah! Reliving Will's storyline!”
A third mentioned: “My heart skipped a beat with his story! I'm so happy for him.”

Noah bravely came out as gay in a TikTok video at the age of 18.
In the January 2023 video, Noah wrote: “When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after staying hidden for 18 years and their response was ‘we knew.’”
In the clip, he lip-synced to someone saying: “You know what it never was? That serious. It was never that serious.
“Honestly, it will never be that serious.”
Noah humorously noted in the caption: “I guess I'm more like Will than I realized.”
In 2022, Noah shared that his Stranger Things character Will is gay and has feelings for his best friend Mike (Finn Wolfhard).
