Jonathan Bailey Gay: The Actor Opens About His Sexuality!

It is not easy for celebrities to discuss their sexual orientations on camera. Mustering the courage within to open up about sexuality is a great deal. Coming to Jonathan Bailey Gay speculations, social media had a few fan theories. But none of them had a base or a true background. Moreover, many a time, playing a gay character on screen leads to doubtful comments on an actor’s sexuality. But it’s quite the opposite in the Leonardo actor’s case. Despite playing a straight character, Viscount Bridgerton, in the Netflix series, Jonathan Bailey Gay rumors have shown no signs of slowing down.

The reason behind this is pretty simple. Jonathan came out as gay privately in his early 20s. He made a public comment about his sexual orientation in 2018. Speaking about the same in an interview with GQ, the actor said that he thought being straight is a sign of remaining happy in life. But after receiving advice from a gay actor, the Olivier Awardee witnessed a change in perspective. He was then so confident about holding hands with his guy partner in public. Initially, Bailey felt that admitting being gay was a matter of shame in the industry. However, his perspective changed with time. Thus Jonathan Bailey Gay rumors aren’t baseless at all.

Feared Career Deterioration!

Not only this, but he has also feared being viewed as another person among his co-stars. Thus, it was his inner pressure and unconsciousness that led Jonathan to come out as gay secretly. But now, things have apparently changed over the years. Despite fearing his sexuality, the actor has managed to play his characters greatly. Even his appearance in Netflix’s Bridgerton was something out of the box. His identity as an actor allows him to express his true sexual identity better. Many warned him that declaring his sexuality publicly would harm his career. But, nothing affected Jonathan Bailey’s work professionally.

Jonathan Bailey Gay: Who Is His Guy Partner?

Undoubtedly, Anthony’s love life is one of the focal points among Bridgerton viewers. But what about the actual love life of Jonathan Bailey? Aren’t you curious about his relationship status? Well, the Broadchurch actor has remained silent whenever it comes to his personal life. Even his current relationship status is also under wraps. In addition to this, there isn’t a name that has been reported to be linked with Bailey romantically on a serious note. But he stated he would love to hold his boyfriend’s hands in public if he ever made a romantic partner. Moreover, it would be acceptable if we regarded him as the internet’s latest obsessive crush.

But recently, in an interview, Bailey used the term ‘boyfriend’ casually. A proper and clear name was not revealed, but people speculated Jonathan could be hinting at James Ellis. They both attended The Olivier Awards together in 2019. Further, they were even snapped having dinner together, and that was when their dating rumors sparked. However, neither of them confirmed their relationship. It seems like they are only ‘good friends’ who had kissed each other at the award ceremony.

Did Jonathan Date Pippa Bennett-Warner?

On the other hand, Bailey was also seen with Pippa Bennett-Warner, a British actress. They were spotted together on various outings. The duo even posed together in November 2018, and people labeled them as a couple. Nonetheless, just like the previous case, neither Jonathan nor Pippa Bennett stated anything about their relationship. Thus, whether or not they were an actual romantic couple in real life is not known to the media and public. So, we also cannot imply a confirmation on the same.
