Kal Penn, the actor known for his lead role in the Harold & Kumar comedy series, has come out–revealing he is engaged to his partner of 11 years.

Penn gave his story during interview on this week’s CBS, while promoting his new memoir “You Can’t Be Serious,” touching on his introduction to acting, his time working with the Obama administration and his relationship with his partner, Josh.

“Josh and I’ve been together for 11 years,” Penn said. “We had our 11th anniversary in October. So, writing about it… it’s very matter-of-fact in our lives, and when you’re the son of Indian immigrants who says that you want to be an actor, the chaos that that creates in your family and your community, will trump anything else, always.”

After moving to Los Angeles to work as an actor, Penn broke out with the 2004 comedy Harold & Kumar alongside his co-star John Cho.

The film spawned two sequels and led Penn to other projects, including the 2006 drama “Namesake” and Fox series “House.”

Penn also took hiatus from acting to campaign for President Barack Obama. He then worked within the administration in public engagement, connecting Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

Penn met his fiancé during his time working in Washington, D.C.

“I discovered my own sexuality relatively late in life compared to other people,” Penn told People magazine. “There’s no timeline on this stuff. People figure their shit out at different times in their lives, so I’m glad I did when I did.”

“I’ve always been very public about my relationship with everybody I’ve personally interacted with,” Penn noted. “I’m really excited to share our relationship with readers. But Josh, my partner, my parents, and my brother, four people who I’m closest to in the family, are fairly quiet. They don’t love attention and shy away from the limelight.”

Simon & Schuster will release “You Can’t Be Serious” on November 2.
