Relationship with Darren Criss

Mia Swier has been the girlfriend of Darren Criss since 2010, even before Criss made his debut on "Glee." The pair has kept their relationship private until around 2013. Criss, born on the 5th of February in 1987, is an actor and a singer who portrayed the character of Blaine on “Glee” from 2010-2015. He is also part of a band and a co-founder of theater production company called StarKid Productions. Criss has performed in several theater plays including "A Very Potter Musical," and more recently, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." Because Criss played an openly gay character on "Glee," some people wondered about the actor's sexual orientation and relationship status. Around 2013, Criss finally admitted that he was in a long-term relationship with Swier. Swier and Criss have yet to collaborate on a film or music album. Nonetheless, the pair is frequently seen side by side in red carpet events and music festivals.
