Groff also dated actor Zachary Quinto. According to Us Weekly, the two first confirmed their relationship in 2012, though they split the following year due to their busy schedules. "Zach being away and filming was not easy on them," a source told the outlet at the time. "Now he's going to be in New York with his new play ["The Glass Menagerie"]. They really loved each other, so it wasn't an easy split."
"It just ran its course," the insider added. "Zach has been out and about, and he seems fine." The two appeared to be on good terms when they reunited at Groff's Broadway show "Hamilton" in 2015 and again two years later at the 2017 GQ Men of the Year party.
"I don't think one is easier than the other," Groff told FourTwoNine of dating actors versus nonactors. "I feel like in dating actors, the nice thing about it is they understand the schedules involved or having to leave for three months to shoot something and all of that. But when I was dating Gavin and dating Zach, it was more about the people they were instead of the actors they were, which is the same about the people who aren't actors that I've dated. It's about them as people and not about any careers or jobs they have."
