Kal Penn surprised fans by announcing his engagement to his partner of 11 years, Josh, while promoting his 2021 memoir, You Can’t Be Serious. Known for his roles in movies like Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and TV shows such as House, Penn has kept his relationship with Josh private due to Josh's preference for a low profile.
