Matt Rogers and Boyfriend Fraser Olender Make Red Carpet Debut at 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards Taping
Matt Rogers and Fraser Olender made their relationship red carpet official at the taping of the 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards on Saturday, May 30, at The United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles. Rogers, 36, attended the event alongside his partner, marking a public appearance together at the highly anticipated awards special. Rogers also posed on the carpet with his Las Culturistas podcast co-host Bowen Yang as the pair filmed the upcoming show, which is scheduled to air later this summer.
The couple first confirmed their relationship publicly during BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas. Their romance has since included several shared moments on social media, including a trip to Thailand earlier this year. Rogers traveled to Thailand to join Olender after Olender finished filming the upcoming 13th season of Below Deck in the country. Their appearances together have drawn attention from fans of both Bravo and the podcast.
Olender’s BravoCon weekend was also marked by a major health scare, when he was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack caused by vape poisoning. During that difficult time, he credited Rogers with supporting him and staying by his side in the hospital, a moment that highlighted the strength of their relationship.
Rogers and Yang are set to host the second televised Las Culturistas Culture Awards, which will air simultaneously on Bravo and Peacock on Wednesday, June 7, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The special is described as a comedy variety event celebrating culture’s most iconic and consequential moments. It will feature more than 100 award categories, live musical performances, and surprise celebrity encounters.
The ceremony continues the expansion of the Las Culturistas brand from podcast to live televised event, bringing together comedy, pop culture, and entertainment personalities. For Rogers, the night combined both professional and personal milestones as he arrived with Olender by his side while preparing to present the latest edition of the awards show with Yang.
The red carpet appearance underscored the couple’s growing public profile and added a personal storyline to the event. Fans can expect more attention on Rogers and Yang when the Las Culturistas Culture Awards air in June, with the show aiming to deliver a wide range of humorous and memorable moments tied to contemporary culture.
