Nico Santos and Zeke Smith were pleasantly surprised to find out that their weekend wedding doubled as an LGBTQ+ Pride celebration. Santos, whose acting credits include “Superstore” and “Crazy Rich Asians,” married the two-time “Survivor” contestant Saturday in Palm Springs, California. The ceremony was officiated by Santos’ “Superstore” co-star, Mark McKinney. “For us, we’ve been together for almost six years,” Smith told People. “We own a home together, have a joint bank account.
