"Queer Eye" star Jonathan Van Ness and partner Mark Peacock are celebrating a year of adventures and wedded bliss.

"Happy One Year Wedding Anniversary @marklondon 🏳️‍🌈 I love our adventures and I can’t wait to make more 💕💕💕," Van Ness wrote.

Peacock recognized Van Ness in a post as well. "Happy 1st Anniversary babe 🥰🥂🍾," Peacock wrote.

"BEAUTIFUL ❤️," wrote Heidi Klum.

"Aaw, Happy Anniversary, to you both. I hope you have such a wonderful day," said "Queer Eye" co-star Tan France.

The 34-year-old revealed that the couple had wed in their wrap-up Instagram post for 2021 on Dec. 31, 2020.

Between reminiscing about campaigning for presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren and getting to tumble with Olympian Simone Biles, Van Ness spilled, “I got married to my best friend & have a loving partner to continue building my life with.” 

Van Ness, usually known for being the sassy, silly groomer on the Netflix show, shared some more serious, personal stories in their 2019 memoir "Over the Top," where they revealed a HIV positive diagnosis and detailed sexual abuse and addiction.

"At the beginning (of 'Queer Eye') I was really kind of nervous to talk about my HIV status and not sure if I wanted to and how I wanted to," Van Ness told USA TODAY at the time. "And as I’ve continued to experience the world as I always have, it just became more clear to me that I wanted to be totally open with my story and be able to talk about it especially in the face of (the Trump) administration."

Van Ness said it was more important than ever to speak about issues that disproportionately affect the LGBTQ+ community.

Though the Trump administration has indeed supported grants to help end the HIV epidemic, it's been criticized by LGBTQ advocates for failing to meaningfully protect the community. 

Van Ness has since become an advocate for the AIDS community. On World AIDS Day last year, they emphasized the importance of medication for HIV-positive individuals to curb the spread of the disease.

"I’m HIV positive & have access to my antiretroviral therapy that suppresses my HIV viral load, keeping me healthy & at an undetectable level which makes it almost impossible for me to transmit HIV," Van Ness wrote on Twitter.
