On Tuesday, Peter Zurkhulen filed for divorce from the 13 Reasons Why star Tommy Dorfman in Los Angeles. Peter and his former partner Tommy Dorfman have called it quits after five years of being together as a married couple.
The former couple met via a mutual friend in 2005, and they got engaged in 2015. A year later, the couple tied the knot and exchanged wedding vows in a ceremony in Portland, Maine, in November 2016. Since then, the couple has been supporting each other's works.
However, Peter's former partner had reintroduced herself as a trans woman in July 2021 and gave an exclusive interview with Time, sharing her gender and giving details of her life as a trans woman. She provided insights into how her transition affected her relationships and shared that she went through puberty at the age of 29. She explained that she was in a nine-year relationship with a male-bodied gay man. She said that she loved him so much, but also, she learned that she's not necessarily interested in a gay man.
Furthermore, Peter at that time fully supported her decision and redefined their relationship as friends after incredible conversations with each other. He showed his support for her by posting a picture of her from the Time magazine photoshoot and wrote, "So much love. You are gorgeous and you are fully you."
