What is the name of Captain Holt's husband?

The story behind the answer

Captain Holt's husband is Kevin Cozner. Kevin is a classics professor at Columbia University and Captain Raymond Holt's longtime spouse in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Kevin first appears as a reserved, highly intellectual contrast to Holt's disciplined personality. Their relationship is affectionate but often expressed through dry humor, formal conversation, and shared interests such as classical literature and academia. Kevin's seriousness also makes him a comic counterpoint to Jake Peralta's energetic behavior.

The couple briefly separates after Holt's work becomes an overwhelming focus, but they eventually reconcile. Kevin's return helps show Holt balancing his professional identity with his personal life. Their dog, Cheddar, is another memorable part of the Holt-Cozner household.

A common mix-up is confusing Kevin with other characters named Kevin in popular television comedies. In Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Kevin Cozner is played by Marc Evan Jackson, while Holt is played by Andre Braugher.
