Thai actor Tae Darvid Kreepolrerk has confirmed he will marry his non-industry partner next month, delivering a double headline for fans after also announcing his withdrawal from the upcoming BL drama Police in Love.
The revelation came during a live session on Twitter, where the actor addressed both his personal milestone and a key career decision with clarity and restraint.
Tae, long associated with Thailand’s BL scene, said the timing of the wedding would clash with production demands, prompting him to step away from his planned role as Saming.
He had previously been attached to the project, which has drawn attention for pairing Yin Anan and War Wanarat as its leads.
Tae noted that both actors were informed of his decision and responded with understanding, backing his move to prioritise personal commitments over a tightly scheduled shoot.

The actor’s exit raises immediate questions about casting adjustments within Police in Love, a series already on the radar of BL audiences due to its lead pairing and early buzz.
While production has yet to confirm a replacement, Tae’s departure appears to have been handled without disruption behind the scenes, reflecting a level of professional coordination uncommon in last-minute casting changes.
Tae’s career has been closely tied to the rise of Thai BL dramas in regional markets.
His roles in 2 Moons, Paint with Love, and Triage helped establish his profile among viewers across Southeast Asia and beyond, where the genre continues to expand its global footprint.
His decision to step back, even temporarily, marks a notable shift for an actor who has remained consistently active within the space.
Fan response has been mixed but largely supportive. While some expressed disappointment over his absence from Police in Love, others framed the decision as a natural progression, pointing to the pressures of balancing personal and professional timelines in an industry driven by tight production cycles.
Social media reactions ranged from surprise to quiet approval, with many highlighting the rarity of such candid announcements from actors in similar positions.

Separate posts shared by Tae, including a seaside photo with his partner captioned “IT’S TIME TO…”, quickly gained traction, drawing congratulations from fellow actors and industry figures.
The tone across comments leaned celebratory, with peers and fans alike acknowledging both the marriage news and the transparency surrounding his career decision.
For Tae, the announcement closes one chapter while opening another, with his next steps in acting left unconfirmed. Whether the hiatus proves temporary or signals a longer recalibration remains unclear, but the immediate focus is firmly on his upcoming wedding.
Will Tae return to the BL genre that shaped his rise, or pivot towards a different path after marriage? And how will Police in Love adapt to a sudden casting gap? Readers following the industry closely will have their own take—so what do you make of Tae’s decision, and does it change your expectations for the drama ahead?
