Everyone is currently obsessed with Netflix's miniseries Obsession. The erotic thriller has every single people in a chokehold and there's nothing they would rather see or talk about now.

It's just unacceptable and viewers know exactly what to make of it but they just can't get over the scene where Richard Armitage (@richardcarmitage) getting frisky with a pillow.

The actor has a full frontal scene in the series besides some steamy scenes.

Well, in an interview with the Evening Standard, Richard Armitage opened up about talking to his partner about the content of the series. His partner, not girlfriend. As the outlet noted, the person - his partner - he's talking about is male. So, if anyone thought that he had a girlfriend, they might find that they are wrong. He warned about the steamy scenes to his boyfriend.

We did talk about it. I reassured him that it was all going to be fine, and we were being well looked after. Charlie [Murphy] and I have met each other’s partners and gone for dinner.

Richard Armitage has rarely, if ever, spoken about his love life or sexuality. For years, there had been speculations about him being gay but he never acknowledged those speculations. But, now he has casually come out when he referred to his partner in male pronouns. So, yeah, right now, he does not have a girlfriend, he has a boyfriend. At least, that's what many inferred. He has not mentioned if they are just in a relationship or if he is married to his boyfriend.

The possibility that his partner was a boyfriend he was dating or the husband he got married to, was hinted at in a 2020 interview with The Telegraph when he talked about having children.

I would need to do it in a way which was either through adoption or surrogacy, because of the nature of my relationship. I’d have to sit down very pragmatically and work it out.

Many assumed then, that by the nature of his relationship, he meant one with another male.

But if you were wondering about his previous relationship, we have all the deets on that!
