News of Santos and Smith’s relationship went public in June. Since then, Santos has received praise for his role as Oliver T’sien in the smash hit Crazy Rich Asians.

“It feels amazing! I mean, honestly, I can’t even believe that I’m here,” Santos told Us of the film’s success. “Five years ago I was at a restaurant saying ‘table for two,’ and now I’m at this amazing Emmy party on the red carpet, having this amazing show Superstore and Crazy Rich Asians. It’s been tremendous.”
