Ericka Hunter’s stage career began when she joined the Radio City Rockettes at age 18. She went on to perform with the ensemble casts of Broadway shows including “42nd Street” and “Rock of Ages” before taking the stage with Aaron Tveit in 2018. Three years after Tveit and Hunter joined the cast of “Moulin Rouge!,” Tveit made their relationship Instagram official in May 2021. “My favorite picture of you. My favorite smile. Happy Birthday @erickahunter I love you!,” he captioned a photo of Hunter laughing as he kissed the side of her head.
A few months later, Tveit made headlines for being the only performer nominated in the best leading actor in a musical category at the Tony Awards, an anomaly he has the pandemic to thank for. In an interview with PopSugar, Tveit revealed how his girlfriend helped make his historical nomination even more special. “I got a wonderful piece of jewelry from my girlfriend in the fall when I got nominated for a Tony Award. It was very, very meaningful,” he said. Hunter was his date for the award show and received a special shoutout in his acceptance speech. While listing off everyone he had to thank and why, Tveit said, “Ericka, for your love and support and for putting up with me.” The couple had another reason to celebrate that year: getting to co-star together in the AppleTV+ musical series “Schmigadoon!”
