Hernandez asked Garber about a Wikipedia entry that claimed he lives in New York with artist and model Rainer Andreesen. "I don't really talk about it, but everybody knows," the 63-year-old actor said of his relationship with Andreesen, a fellow Canadian. "He's going to be out here with me for the SAG Awards."

Garber – whose extensive award's honors include six Emmy Award nominations -- first spoke about his longtime love in an April 2012 interview with Canada's Forever Young.

"My companion, Rainer Andreesen, and I have been together almost 13 years in Greenwich Village," he said. "We both love New York."
