Second born Rhodes child, between Maggie and Liv. He grew up spending time backstage on the set of Broadway productions with his siblings. Patrick always loved to dance and preform. Started doing school plays in and dance recitals by age ten. He was often bullied by other kids for having different interests than most boys his age.
In high school he joined a theater club and took part in school plays landing lead roles. In eleventh grade he won the role of ‘Danny Zuko’ in ‘Grease’. Confused about his sexuality and wanting to fit in, Patrick started dating his co-star and friend, Ashley. He found that this put a stop to the bullying for the most part, but he didn’t feel like he was being true to himself. After dating for almost a year, he came out as gay to Ashley first, who was slightly hurt that their relationship wasn’t real but she supported him and encouraged him to tell his family. He told his siblings first, and then his parents and all of them were supportive.
Went to New York at the age of nineteen to pursue his dreams of being on Broadway. He did some acting and preforming for smaller scale theaters, trying to work his way up to stardom and not have to rely on his family name. Not wanting to rely on his family for money, he took an administrative office job to pay his bills and rent.
When he finally was able to get a foot in the door and land some stand-in roles, and eventually small background roles, he found it difficult to make friends with other performers once they learned who his mother was. It was widely assumed that he was just trying to ride off of her fame and other performers would make cruel remarks or sabotage him. This shook his confidence deeply when going for starring roles and he failed several auditions.
In 2014 he decided to give up and live closer to his family, taking an job in Williamsburg for a company that designed and manufactured electronic devices and accesories called ‘Be Connected’. Patrick was able to work up the ladder to an HR position, but he is not happy with this work and misses being on stage. He loves to come up with choreography and would like to do something with his ideas, but feels its better to keep a job that is financially stable.
He started dating a co-worker named Darius who he fell in love with and lived with for a few years in Williamsburg, visiting his family as much as he could. When Leanne overdosed, he was terrified and almost moved back home but as things started to settle down, he changed his mind.
Eight months ago, his father Malcolm passed away and this was the last straw for him. He was forced to end things with Darius who had no interest in leaving his home, and ended up finding a small one bedroom apartment downtown where he currently lives with his white scottish terrier named ‘Jewel’. With all of the drama going on in his family he often goes back and fourth in his mind, wondering if it was the right decision.
