Corbin Bleu and his wife, Sasha Clements, are still blissfully in love after 10 years of marriage.
“We always do a thing that’s called updating our terms and conditions,” Bleu, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly at 2026 Tony Awards on Sunday, June 7, before Clements, 36, explained that the pair like to check in with each other every year.
“You know, so it’s whatever you might need, want in that period of time, it’s just communication, truly,” Bleu added to Us of the secrets of their lasting romance. “It’s being open to communicating and being aware of each other’s wants [and] each other’s needs. I would say, you know, obviously, there’s compromise that happens, but so much of it is also just being aware.”
Bleu and Clements, both actors, first crossed paths in a grocery store in 2011. The High School Musical actor, fittingly, popped the question to Clements three years later while visiting Walt Disney World. The duo ultimately tied the knot in July 2016, since sharing the screen on multiple occasions.
Thanks to their frequent “check-ins,” Bleu and Clements’ relationship has been better than ever.
“We’re not the same people that we were last year,” Clements said. “So, every year we do a check-in and it’s been working … and then [having] two bathrooms!”
For Bleu, he stressed that having individual space is “very important” for a happy union.
Clements has also been Bleu’s biggest cheerleader upon his theater return. Bleu currently stars as Nick Carraway in Broadway’s The Great Gatsby, a role he originated across the pond on London’s West End.
“There’s elements of [Tobey Maguire’s movie character in my portrayal], but for me, my Nick portrayal is very close to the book,” Bleu told Us of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel of the same name. “I grew up loving the novel, and I wanted to keep my portrayal as close to the novel as possible.”
Sometimes falling in love onstage can lead to an epic offstage romance — just ask Leslie Odom Jr. and Nicolette Robinson, who met during a production of Once on This Island. “Les was responsible for helping me figure out all of my blocking,” Robinson told Broadway.com in October 2018, explaining that she was asked to […]
Bleu’s portrayal even earned a Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical nomination at the Olivier Awards earlier this year.
“I’m so honored. I’ve been in this industry for a very long time,” he told Buzzfeed last month. “I started professionally as a child actor, and I’ve now been working on Broadway for more than 15 years. My pursuit has always been prioritized by respect over popularity. To be nominated for this honor feels like a turning point in my career, and I’m so happy and excited.”
Bleu, however, lost the category to Tom Edden in Paddington the Musical.
