Chic-Fi-Lay finally revealed himself as Kevin McHale on one of the previous episodes of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race. Fans were ecstatic to see the Glee alum on stage as a Drag Queen. Kevin is currently in a relationship with actor Austin P. McKenzie, whom he met on the set of When We Rise.

Kevin McHale, an actor, singer, and dancer from Plano, Texas, was born in 1988. He is best known for his character of Artie Abrams on the Fox comedy-drama series Glee. Before stepping into the acting world, Kevin joined the American four-member boy band NLT (Not Like Them) as one of the two lead vocalists. The singer released his first solo album, Boy, in 2019.

He started his acting career in 2007 with a guest appearance on The Office in season four. Kevin also appeared as a guest star in Nickelodeon's teen drama series Zoey 101 and HBO's dark fantasy drama series True Blood.

He landed his breakout role as Artie Abrams in Glee in 2009. He has even appeared on various other films and television shows, including One Call: Blacklight, Boychoir, Virtually Famous (host), HeILa, and American Horror Stories, among others.

Kevin has also been hosting a podcast with Glee co-star Jenna Ushkowitz called Showmance since 2019. The podcast was rebranded as And That's What You Really Missed on iHeartRadio in 2022.

He participated in RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race Season 2 and wowed the audiences with his performances. However, during the September 23, 2022, episode, the Queen was eliminated from the show as his lip-sync performance in the Lady Gaga Week failed to impress the judges.
