Luke Macfarlane and his longtime partner Hig Roberts delighted fans this week with a rare public appearance together.
The couple attended the Los Angeles Dodgers’ annual Pride Night celebration and were invited onto the field before the game.
There, they took part in one of the team’s most beloved traditions.
Together they delivered the famous “It’s Time for Dodger Baseball” announcement to the crowd.
Fans quickly embraced the moment.
Videos shared online showed the couple wearing matching Dodgers jerseys and celebrating the occasion with huge smiles.
Roberts later described the experience as an “honor of a lifetime.”
He also thanked the Dodgers organization and the LGBTQ+ community for making the evening possible.
The appearance was notable because Macfarlane and Roberts generally keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
The pair have been together for several years and have built a life that largely stays away from celebrity headlines.
Macfarlane first became widely known through his role on Brothers & Sisters.
He later became a fan favorite through numerous Hallmark films and earned critical praise for his role in the LGBTQ+ romantic comedy Bros.
Roberts is a former professional alpine skier and a two-time national champion.
In 2020 he became the first elite American male alpine skier to publicly come out as gay.
His decision was widely praised for increasing LGBTQ+ visibility in professional sports.
The couple entered a new chapter of their lives in 2023 when they welcomed daughter Tess.
Macfarlane has spoken warmly about parenthood and the joy of raising a child together.
He has also praised Roberts as an exceptional father and partner.
Recent months have provided fans with a few more glimpses into their relationship.
The pair recently ran the London Marathon alongside members of Roberts’ family.
Friends and followers have also enjoyed seeing the supportive messages they occasionally share about one another online.
Even so, public appearances remain relatively uncommon.
That is one reason the Dodgers Pride Night event generated such a positive response.
For many fans, it was simply nice to see a happy couple enjoying a meaningful moment together.
As Pride celebrations continue across the country, Luke Macfarlane and Hig Roberts reminded people that visibility can sometimes be as simple as showing up, sharing a smile, and celebrating community.
