In February, the Will & Grace star, who died in a vehicle accident on Monday, gushed about his boyfriend.

Leslie, 67, made the remarks during an interview with Pride Source, in which he discussed his difficulty taking accolades.

He did, however, explain that a new individual in his life was assisting him in overcoming this condition.

“‘When someone compliments you, Leslie, you compliment them back,’ my boyfriend always says.

“And I answered, ‘No, no, I’m too busy…'” explained the actor, waving his arms.

“But he’ll say, ‘Own it, and by the way, you….’ and that’s what you do,” Leslie added.

“I’m looking into that.” “I’m working really hard on that,” he said.

Although the Call Me Kat actor mentioned his partner during the interview, he was never photographed with him on social media.

Leslie, who was openly gay for the majority of his adult life, was largely reserved when it came to dating and relationships.

In 2017, he did, however, speak about a relationship he had with a man “20 years younger” who had a “passion for silver-headed men.”

He told The Gay Times that they intended to marry, but it looks like things did not work out between the two.

Leslie also talked about how he used to date straight men, saying, “My generation did it… I worked for one for ten years.”
