The language surrounding gender identity is constantly evolving, and like many, Nico Tortorella has been on a journey of self-discovery.

Where's the line? It's way deeper than that — well, for Tortorella, at least.

While chatting with Bravo's Personal Space in September 2017 (via People), Nico Tortorella was a bit defensive about being in an polyamorous relationship.

While in an interview he went ahead to confirm that, “Every single day is a learning process for us. By the time they tied the knot, they had been together, on and off, for nearly 12 years, as Tortorella told Them. It feels wider.”

Tortorella also spoke openly about their struggle with fame, the painful process of coming out and facing a dark battle with alcohol.

“When I started having access to the party, to the celebrity, to the free everything, it got out of control, like it does for so many people in this industry,” they said.

The 31-year-old has found fame portraying the hyper-masculine tattoo artist Josh on TV Land’s hit show “Younger,” Lyle Menendez in Lifetime’s “Blood Brothers” and will portray a queer character battling the zombie apocalypse in the upcoming spinoff of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”

“Nightline” joined Tortorella and Meyers at their upstate New York home, where Meyers discussed why they made the traditional and somewhat unexpected choice to get married.

“I knew that when it came to having a foundation and a family foundation, that this was the person for me to do it with,” Meyers said.

“When it comes to visiting each other in a hospital, god forbid that ever happens, when it comes to bringing children into the world, when it comes to health insurance, the system was built for a reason,” Tortorella added.

It’s what works for them.

Another person for whom my guarded heart would open," the fitness lover told Them.

While Nico Tortorella was retrieving "a dead mouse from a trap" at Meyer's home, the social media influencer came clean. "We're still figuring it out," Meyers said, before Tortorella added, "I think we're in the best place now [that] we've ever been, but we're definitely still on an amateur level."

Growing up together and having such a deep, intense bond is great for the couple but can be intimidating to other people.

“For me, ‘they/them’ fully encompasses all of it that exists in my own multi-dimensional dynamic being. With his newfound fame, many fans raised concerns about his sexuality and gender identity.

In 2018, Tortorella dressed up in a sheer black gown in runaway at New York Fashion Week which aroused further speculations about his gender identity.

I mean, I love you so much,” Meyers said speaking to Tortorella. However, there are speculations and concerns from his fans on the issue of having children later in the future with his gay wife. I said, 'finally,'" Meyers stated. It is more than a typical love story where a girl meets a boy. For real."

The couple has gone through periods of time when they lived together and other times when they lived apart.

Even after tying the knot, Nico Tortorella told People, "We still don't live together," despite the publication revealing that they bought a home together in "upstate New York." However, Tortorella added, "We see each other on a weekly basis. "I can be emotionally, physically attracted to men. And as lovely as the pair looked together, the world soon found out the truth about the non-conformists' relationship.

In 2017, Tortorella revealed he and Meyers were in a polyamorous relationship — which Tortorella described as meaning they "date other people" in an interview with the The Wendy Williams Show.

“So I gave up alcohol. We taught each other how to love, taught each other how to break," he penned in a piece published by the LGBTQ publication.

Being by each other's side as they explored their sexuality — while also attempting to create the type of relationship they both yearned for — included more than a few trials and tribulations.
