Tan France Parents
His parents came to England and France grew up with two older brothers and a sister. He was born in the United Kingdom but his parents were born in Pakistan. He lost his father when he was thirteen years of age. The mix of the culture in his family between him and his parents led to a compromise to accept his sexuality. Though they could understand that it can’t be controlled, it was difficult to accept that he was gay all of a sudden. But now the family is really supportive of it and they have also got him married to the man of hid choice.
Tan France Husband / Married Life
Tan dated Rob France who is a nurse by profession. They are now happily married. Sources reveal that he met Rob on a dating website. Now married, the couple was in a long-distance relationship. But ultimately they took their relationship to the next level by getting married.
The duo is married for over a decade, as they tied the knot back on 7th July 2007. We must say they have a strong bonding as they have kept their marital life intact for 13 years now, and their married life is running smoothly.
They have been happily living with each other and now they live together in Utah’s Great state. However, Tan and his husband are found spending a lot of time in Los Angeles and New York City.
Tan France Children
Despite being married for over 12 years now, Tan and his husband are yet to experience parenthood as they don’t have children.
It might be because of their thriving career, that the duo couldn’t manage time enough to expand their family yet. However, on being asked about having a kid, Tan recently expressed that he and his husband would soon have a baby through surrogacy.
Seems like the day isn’t that far when Tan will share the happy news of becoming a father amidst his fan and followers.
