The announcement follows Schnapp’s public coming out in January 2023, when he shared a TikTok video reflecting on his experience. In the post, he wrote, “When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was ‘we know.’”

The video featured Schnapp lip syncing to the phrase, “You know what it never was? That serious. It was never that serious. Quite frankly, it will never be that serious.” He added in the caption, “I guess I’m more similar to will than I thought,” referencing his on-screen character, whose sexuality was confirmed in the fourth season of the series..

The actor has largely kept his private life out of the public eye, making this recent update a notable moment for followers.
