UK-based Filipino nurse and social media creator Nurse Even has shared one of his most personal milestones yet—his wedding to longtime partner Paul Szom. Known for blending humor, authenticity, and heartfelt storytelling about life in and beyond scrubs, Nurse Even’s decision to go public with his celebration is more than just a romantic announcement—it’s a meaningful message about courage, representation, and living authentically.

Who Is Nurse Even?

John Steven Soriano—known across social media as Nurse Even—isn’t your typical nurse influencer. Born and raised in the Philippines and now based in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom, he’s built a thriving nursing career while also becoming a digital storyteller for the global nursing community.

Nurse Even first began sharing nursing-related videos years ago, often blending humor with education. Over time, this evolved into a platform where he could talk about all aspects of life—work challenges, long-distance love, and now, marriage. His trajectory is proof that nurses can be multifaceted: caregivers, educators, entertainers, and advocates, all at once.

With over 1 million followers collectively across TikTok and Facebook, 146,000+ on Instagram, and more than 300,000 subscribers on YouTube, Nurse Even bridges two worlds: the demanding reality of healthcare and the creative energy of content creation. His relatable humor, candid life updates, and peek-behind-the-curtain nursing insights have made him a beloved figure—not just among nurses in the Philippines and the UK, but internationally.

The Wedding Announcement Heard Around the Nursing World

On July 31st, Nurse Even tied the knot with his longtime partner, Paul Szom, in an intimate ceremony in Newcastle upon Tyne. The couple’s exchange of vows—both tender and lighthearted—quickly struck a chord with fans.

Nurse Even’s vow to Paul spoke of finding “peace, home, and forever” despite the uncertainties of the world—a reminder of how love can anchor us amid life’s challenges. Paul’s own vows included a promise to be not just a loving partner, but a dedicated “lifelong cameraman,” a sweet nod to Nurse Even’s creative career.

The wedding announcement, shared through heartfelt photos and videos on social media, quickly gained traction within the nursing community. Comments poured in from healthcare workers and patients alike, congratulating the couple and thanking Nurse Even for being open about his joy. Nurse Even’s engagement video was similarly well-received.

Navigating Apprehension: Fear of Judgment in the Spotlight

While his wedding is a personal milestone, Nurse Even admitted it wasn’t easy to press “post.” Speaking to GMA Network, he revealed that he had initially feared judgment from strangers online—particularly as a queer nurse and public figure.

By choosing to share his wedding story anyway, Nurse Even not only celebrated his own happiness but also sent a powerful message about pride, perseverance, and living authentically—something many in the nursing and queer communities deeply relate to.

 

Why This Moment Matters for the Nursing Community

Nurse Even’s story is more than a celebrity wedding announcement—it’s a reminder of why authenticity matters. In nursing, vulnerability often stays hidden behind closed doors. By choosing to share his, Nurse Even has opened a dialogue about inclusion, courage, and celebrating life’s milestones without fear.

Love transcends borders, job titles, and prejudice. And for the nurses scrolling through their feeds between patients, his wedding post might just be the hopeful moment they needed. 

Congratulations to the happy couple! 💜
