Jimmy Heagerty Proposes to Longtime Boyfriend Sean Horne
Heagerty, 26, shared a handful of sweet pictures on Instagram of his engagement to longtime beau Sean Horne, a veterinarian, in Boston.
In the caption, he quoted an excerpt from novel “The Song of Achilles”:
“I would recognize you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion.”
In a preseason interview, Heagerty said outside of “Big Brother,” he plays tennis and coaches, and hangs out with his animals and his long-term boyfriend Sean.

Jimmy Heagerty on ‘Big Brother’ Season 27
CBSHeagerty wasted little time making himself a factor on “Big Brother 27.”
During the season’s opening weeks, he was a member of multiple alliances, including the Heavy Hitters, Triple Threat and Triplets.
Rather than staying under the radar, Heagerty was often involved in strategic conversations and helped shape many of the house’s early plans.
His biggest moment came in week 2 when he won Head of Household. The week turned into one of the season’s most twisty stretches, with several different houseguests touching the block before the dust finally settled.
CBSThroughout his time in the house, Heagerty remained closely aligned with Morgan Pope and maintained working relationships with several other players.
However, the alliances that helped him gain footing early in the game became less stable.
By the fourth week, Heagerty’s position had become increasingly shaky. He was nominated during ally Mickey Lee’s Head of Household reign and found himself fighting to survive.
Despite entering the season with strong connections and an HOH win on his résumé, Heagerty was unable to regain momentum. His game came to an end on day 31 when he was evicted in a 9 to1 vote, making him the fourth houseguest sent home and the final pre-jury eviction of the season.
