There’s been a lot of talk about the infamous Menendez brothers since the release of Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which follows the case of the brothers accused of their parents’ murders and the subsequent trial. Now, as the pair face a potential resentencing that could see them released from jail on parole, actor Cooper Koch, who plays Erik, is voicing his support.

But that’s not the only reason the 28-year-old actor is making headlines. He was recently spotted at the LACMA Art+Film Gala at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art with his boyfriend, Stuart McClave and Kim Kardashian, who is involved in prison reform and has spoken out about the Menendez case.

Even before they walked the red carpet at the LACMA Art+Film Gala this month, speculation about Koch and McClave’s relationship was rife. In an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on October 14, Koch, who is openly gay, was asked by a fan if he had a boyfriend, “and if not, has your dating life changed since Monsters came out?” The actor replied, “Good question. I do have a boyfriend, so … sorry!”

Soon after the episode aired, Gazette Direct released an article speculating that the boyfriend in question was filmmaker Stuart McClave. Since Koch doesn’t appear to be active on social media, the couple’s appearance at the gala event served as confirmation of their relationship.
