Is Conan Gray Gay? All About His Sexuality and Dating History

One cannot say for sure whether Conan Gray is gay, straight, or bisexual, as the singer has staunchly refused to put a label on his sexuality. 

Conan Gray’s style of music, appearance, and lyrics have got fans divided about his sexuality; while some believe he is gay, others presume he is straight. Meanwhile, the admired American singer has done nothing to clear the confusion but rather fuels it through his social media posts. Moreover, his dating history includes both men and women. However, his inability to provide a direct answer regarding his sexuality continues to create more speculations over whether he is gay or not.

Is Conan Gray Gay?

Whether Conan Gray is gay, bi, straight, or something else has entirely remained a mystery as he has consistently dodged these questions from his interviewers and reactions to fans. He has not publicly confirmed his sexuality. He has, however, addressed the topic in interviews and indicated that he prefers to keep his personal life private. Conan Gray has been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and has mentioned in interviews that he has friends who identify as LGBTQ+.

In a Twitter post in 2018, Conan reacted angrily to fans trying to figure out his labels. He described speculations regarding this as “annoying” while admonishing people to let him be. The singer further states that people should stop trying to figure out his sexuality as it is his personal life.

However, rumors that Conan Gray could be gay further gained momentum in early  December 2019. This was after the songwriter posted a photo with Matty Healy on his Instagram page, where the two appeared to be hugging and kissing. However, neither Conan nor Matty addressed the rumors regarding their romantic involvement.

Conan Gray’s Songs Give the Impression That He is Either Gay Or Bi

Conan’s songs could also provide hints about his sexuality. He usually addresses his love life through the lyrics of his songs. For instance, in one of his songs, titled Heather, Conan explored his love interest in the past and how his high school crush was interested in another girl named Heather.

According to the lyrics of this song, his crush was a boy. This particular song further fueled speculation that Conan Gray is gay. But the singer didn’t particularly state if the lyrics are based on a real-life event.

On the flip side, Conan’s 2019 track – Checkmate talks about how he’ll take revenge on two persons who broke his heart and went on to date each other – a boy and a girl. He tries to win back either of them but they’re already in love with each other. The theme of this song would suggest that Gray is bi, although it’s not a valid confirmation.

Furthermore, on February 11, 2018, the singer tweeted “Bi” on his verified account but went on to explain that it means “bitchwhatthefuckkissmealready.”

here’s the fucking deal. if labels on sexuality and gender and beliefs and all that great stuff are helpful for u, i’m all for it. u do u. but the second u start trying to shove everyone else into a neat little easy to understand box, i get mad. stop! please! fucking stop!

Who Is Conan Gray’s Girlfriend?

At the moment, American singer Conan Gray does not have a girlfriend. Besides, he is not in any relationship, as per his revelation in an interview with GQ in 2022. He further went on to disclose that he hasn’t dated anyone in the past and attributes it to his experience. According to the singer, the people he fell in love with never loved him back.

One of those experiences happened in high school and particularly left him devastated. It also made him anxious and terrified to ask anyone out again. Conan Gray also spoke about being hurt and unable to get past the experience for a long time. He is, however, now determined to give love a try once more, having realized that love can be so casual and go slowly.

Conan also disclosed that he is attracted to nerdy, smart, and passionate people. However, from all indications, he’s yet to find someone that meets his specification. Notwithstanding, the American singer has been rumored to be in several relationships with different people. He has been romantically linked to both men and women, including the likes of Ashley, Olivia Rodrigo, and Matty Healy, amongst others.

Is Conan Gray Dating Olivia Rodrigo?

In 2021, Conan Gray was rumored to be dating an American singer, songwriter, and actress named Olivia Rodrigo. They were both members of musician Taylor Swift’s crew. The duo filmed two music videos together, and it seems, according to his fans, there was chemistry between them.

A month later, Gray released a song titled Astronomy, which his fans believed was inspired by Olivia. The track had lyrics talking about gradual heartbreak. Olivia, however, clarified that they’re platonic friends and only had a professional relationship as they were working under the same music producer, Dan Nigro.

Is Canon Gray in a Relationship with Ashley?

Canon Gray was also rumored to be dating a girl known as Ashley. His rumored relationship partner has been with him since grade seven. However, this also turned out to be another mere rumor. In an exclusive interview with Zach Sang, Canon clarified that he and Ashley were only “best friends.”

Also, on 2 December 2019, Conan posted a romantic picture of him and Ashley on his Instagram page. Their bond caused fans to raise speculations about the two dating once more. However, the pair never publicly confirmed this.

Similarly, on December 2, 2019, in an Instagram photo, Conan appeared to be passionately kissing Matty Healy, leaving his fans to wonder if the pair were an item. Again, neither the former YouTuber nor Matty react to these rumors. The two, however, haven’t been seen together ever since.

In one of his recent tracks titled Astronomy, Conan sings about the pain of “floating away from the person you once loved.” The singer continues to reveal cryptic messages in his songs even while keeping his love life private. As a result, one cannot confirm if he has finally found love.

While he may not be direct when talking about his relationship or sexuality, Canon Gray has shared some of his experiences about how he is still trying to find his true self. He also suffered from bullying while growing up, which is among some of the things he continues to reveal through music.
