Who is Benito Skinner’s boyfriend?
Skinner is dating Terrence O’Connor.
They have reportedly been dating since 2016. In an interview with NYLON, O’Connor revealed that he met his beau at the party and they instantly clicked. “I really had a That’s So Raven moment where I was immediately like, ‘I’m going to marry him,” he said. He also revealed that Skinner had shared his ambitions with him, and he did his best to guide him. He added, “He told me he wanted to be an actor. I was like, ‘I don’t know how I could help you become an actor, but maybe we could try to get you a following on Instagram?”
Since then, the couple have never been apart and have continued to support each other in the best possible way. They are also a powerful duo, best known for their eye-catching Halloween costumes, and often share glimpses of their romance on their social.
Here’s Terrence O’Connor’s job and Instagram
O’Connor is a photographer and creative director. His Instagram ID is @terrencefoconnor.
He grew up in the suburbs of Boston. He pursued the arts at Colby College. In the same aforementioned interview, O’Connor revealed that upon his relocation to Los Angeles, even his talents began getting recognized alongside his partner. “When Ben got proper Hollywood managers, they were like, ‘Well, Terry, you’re a creative director.’ It was one of those fake jobs that seemed so unattainable to me,” he said. Initially, he began his career working for small artists and aiding real estate companies with social media. But meeting Charli XCX turned out to be a turning point in his career. He became her closest collaborator. Additionally, in 2022, he began working for HAIM as well.
