Dating history
Niedzwiecki, who turned 34, is a yoga teacher, personal trainer and Peloton instructor. He first began featuring Porowski on his Instagram posts last summer.
The hard launch came in August, when Porowski shared photos of a trip to Michigan on Instagram. He included Niedzwiecki and said, “pro-tip: find a local to show u around Traverse City ????”
It was not known when the men began dating. However, in mid-January, Niedzwiecki posted a collection of photos to mark their first year together, indicating the romance started in January 2025 or a little earlier.
The two men have frequently shared photos of their travels together, including Mexico, Aspen, Miami, London, and Montreal.
The end of ‘Queer Eye’
Porowski currently features in the tenth and final season of Queer Eye on Netflix. The season’s launch was somewhat overshadowed by drama among its hosts.
Karamo Brown pulled out of two high-profile TV interviews at the last minute to protect his peace. An assistant for Brown also said he did not wish to be bullied.
Gayle King presented Brown’s statement to Porowski, Jeremiah Brent, Tan France and Jonathan Van Ness on CBS Mornings. She noted that the Queer Eye hosts were “As surprised as we are” by Brown’s absence.
Porowski replied, “Surprise is a fair understatement. I will say, our Queer Eye family, we’ve been doing this for almost a decade, which is pretty wild to believe, and families are complicated. And we’re definitely not excluded from that.”
Karamo Brown, one of the “Fab Five” of Netflix’s “Queer Eye,” did not participate in this morning’s interview with the cast, writing to CBS Mornings that he hopes people remember to “protect their mental health/peace.”

TMZ later offered one possible explanation for the falling out. It reported that on one day during the filming of the final season, Karamo Brown invited his mother to the set.
“At one point, Karamo stepped away from the group … and while he was gone, Antoni, Tan and Jonathan were overheard speaking negatively about Karamo, including criticizing certain lifestyle choices he makes,” states TMZ.
Brown’s mom was wearing headphones and heard what was said. She later informed her son.
Reps for all five Queer Eye hosts have not commented on the report.
