Matt Bomer and his partner, publicist Simon Halls, are gearing up for a decidedly un-glamorous Father’s Day with their three sons.
“We like to do outdoor, active things,” the White Collar star, 34, told People Tuesday at Park & Bond‘s special dinner to celebrate N.Y.C.’s Most Stylish Dads This Father’s Day at Perla.
