Julian Gault’s Magical Softer Side?

Rafael Reyes Shares Video of His Boyfriend Comforting Crying Child

A little girl named Brittany is going viral this week after glimpsing the softer side of actor Julian Gault. More often in the news lately for his feuds with co-stars, Gault is shown comforting and distracting the crying child in a video posted by Distant Kingdom front man Rafael Reyes.

“Friends lost their home to a fire,” Reyes wrote alongside the video, in which Gault teaches the little girl a magic trick. “Sweet Julian helping them clean up, comforting little Brittany.”

The child, shown in what seems to be the wreckage of her family home, has not been identified beyond her first name. “Her family is having a terrible time and the last thing I want is to violate their privacy,” said Reyes, in response to fans’ requests. When fans asked for a way to donate to the family, he set up a GoFundMe, which he has since stated will be donated to the Red Cross Home Fire Campaign per the family’s wishes.

Reyes and Gault, dating since the beginning of the month, have been making frequent appearances in each other’s social media.

Life goes up and life goes down

But some things stay the same

When you share blood, a past, a home

A band, a life, a name

There’s some things solid in this world

Much sturdier than fame

The people who will guard your back

And help you play the game

—”Brothers in Arms” from the Warrior EP by Distant Kingdom

It was too easy to get carried away during phone interviews. Somehow, when Rafi was in the safety of his own home talking to a disembodied voice, it was hard to remember that everything he said was going to be in print (or pixels) all over the world the next day.

Maybe that wasn’t such a bad thing when the woman from Hollywood Reporter asked about the band; he’d probably been too tight-lipped about all that so far. “When three people’s lives have been as intertwined as mine, Bo’s, and Carlos’s, it takes a while to sort everything out.” That was nice and diplomatic. “DK is important to all of us; no one wants to let it go, but too much has happened for us to continue performing together. So it’s a tough situation.”

“Does your brother’s baby make it tougher?” asked the interviewer.

“I’m not making any statement on that topic,” Rafi said firmly.

She gave a resigned huff. “Well, what about Julian Gault?” she asked, perky-voiced again. “Is he making things more complicated?”

“Not at all. Julian’s been great. I don’t know what I’d do without him.” They were automatic words, the kind of thing he’d rehearsed saying to keep the charade going. It felt a little gross leaving his mouth. He cast around in his mind for something true to say, something real. “I know the way he comes across to people, but he’s—he’s actually very sweet.”

“Sweet, huh? I always heard you preferred spicy.”

“Well, he’s that, too.
