Willem Ragnarsson is Jude’s life partner. Though he initially struggles to advance his acting career, he eventually becomes a famous and successful screen actor. Jude and Willem have always been closer to each other than with Malcolm and JB, and Willem is fiercely loyal to Jude. Willem grew up in rural Wyoming, the son of a humble and hardworking ranch hand. Growing up, Willem was the main caregiver for his older brother Hemming, who was nonverbal and confined to a wheelchair due to a severe form of cerebral palsy. Unlike Willem’s parents, who cared for Hemming but regarded him mostly as a responsibility, Willem genuinely loved Hemming, and he’d often push Hemming around his family’s land and read to him. Hemming dies of cancer while Willem is away at college, and Willem never forgives himself for his failure to help Hemming. Willem’s commitment to his relationship with Jude seems, in part, to arise from his desire to fix Jude where he failed to fix Hemming. In time, as Willem realizes that Jude’s suffering is too extensive and complex for him to fix, he accepts that the most he will ever be able to do is alleviate some of Jude’s suffering, if only temporarily. Willem remains by Jude’s side, even as their “gay” relationship affects his career; and even as Jude’s self-harm, relentless secrecy, and inability to maintain a sexual relationship complicates their relationship. Willem and Jude remain life partners.
