“Thrilled to join @ejaf last night for #EJAFOscars in support of such an important cause!” wrote Colby on Instagram, accompanying a photo of the happy couple. “So glad to share this night with @raincityfit and loved getting to kiki with my drag race sisters."
Colby and Koenigsberg reportedly began dating in October 2023 after meeting at a Pride event in Hawaii, with Colby recalling to The Advocate: “[We've been dating for] four or five months and enjoying it. He happened to be there. He's from Seattle [and] we hooked up.”
Whilst Colby took the Drag Race crown in front of Mama Ru, Australian candidates won’t get that honour as the face of the franchise announced they would be stepping down from Drag Race Down Under, with judge Michelle Visage filling in as host.

“It has been my great honour to bring Drag Race to Australasia,” said RuPaul, who will remain as an executive producer, in a statement. “I can’t wait to see the franchise continue to flourish under the leadership of the incredible Michelle Visage.”
“Thank you, RuPaul, for entrusting me with one of your beloved shows,” added Visage. “The colour, humour, and outrageousness of Down Under drag holds a special place in my heart. I'm ready to do everything in my power to encourage these beautiful queens to believe in themselves and let their inner light shine through.”
RuPaul's Drag Race US airs on MTV in the US and WOW Presents Plus in the UK.
