13 Gay Male Celebs Who Have Talked Openly About Being on the Apps
It’s a small world when it comes to avoiding your ex, but sometimes it feels like you’re suddenly swimming in an endless ocean of red flags, rejection, or missed connections when trying to find the next one. It’s hard not to imagine landing dates and finding love must be significantly easier for celebrities.
For that reason, we’re grateful for the A-listers willing to admit the grass doesn’t come with fewer f**k boys in Hollywood. Still, you might not expect the rich and famous to search for companionship like the rest of us: on the apps!
Hate or love it, online culture facilitates finding that big D energy in the haystack of America. So next time you’re scrolling through bodies, consider one of them might belong to a famous face.
Until ChatGTP learns the algorithm to find a compatible partner emotionally available a few hundred feet away, here are 13 gay male celebs who admitted you could’ve matched with them on a dating app.
Adam Lambert
Meeting the one sometimes feels like you’re mining for them, and singer Adam Lamber revealed dating isn’t as glamorous as you’d imagine for a pop star sensation. He confessed on KISS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show that life on the road made it difficult to form meaningful connections, which pushed him to try Raya.
He said nothing came out of it at the time, but we’re hopeful that’s changed for the artist since then.
Adam Rippon
We thought we couldn’t relate to Adam Rippon more than when he told Vice, “Grindr is just trash. You’re not looking for love, you’re looking for a mistake.”
But then he had to go public with a Finnish boyfriend he met on Tinder, which was news to us – do people actually meet there?! The couple is still dating, so at least there’s our hope that finding love online is possible.
Andy Cohen
Andy Cohen is no stranger to dating apps, including getting kicked off them. Grindr is apparently Ok with anonymous torsos, but they put their foot down when a celebrity tries to show their face! But the Watch What Happens Live! host hasn’t let that deter his quest for Daddy #2 (his son’s request) and admitted during a panel at Bravocon, “I’m on Raya.
I’m on Tinder; I’m ready to go!” Kudos for keeping it real.
Colton Underwood
Before Colton Underwood found his happily-ever-after with his current hubby, he admitted to experimenting on Grindr using an alias.
The former Bachelor contestant maintained he didn’t have sex, though, which is like someone saying they went to the candy store but didn’t eat anything sweet. But it’s his story, so we’ll let him tell it.
