Has Nick Fuentes publicly identified his sexual orientation or discussed dating history?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Nick Fuentes has publicly addressed his sexuality and dating history in recent high-profile interviews: he told Piers Morgan he is “attracted to women” and denied being gay, and he repeatedly admitted he is a virgin and has described himself as an “incel” (never had sex) in prior comments and interviews [1] [2]. Reporting across outlets documents both the denials and the long-running public speculation tied to past incidents and his rhetoric [1] [3].
1. What Fuentes has actually said — direct, recent admissions
In a December 2025 interview with Piers Morgan, Fuentes answered questions about his orientation by saying “I am attracted to women” and explicitly denying that he is gay; the same interview also revisited his claim that he has never had sex and that he identifies as an incel, consistent with statements he has made before [1] [2] [4].
2. Why the question has trailed him — incidents and online moments
Speculation about Fuentes’s sexuality long preceded the Morgan interview because of past oddities on his streams (a clip of gay porn briefly played at the end of his America First livestream in 2024) and because he has sometimes avoided direct answers or given evasive responses when challenged, which fueled coverage and gossip [1] [3].
3. How different outlets frame his answers — denial vs. mockery
Mainstream and niche outlets report the same basic facts but interpret them through different lenses: outlets such as PinkNews and GayExpress emphasized his denial of being gay while noting the prior incidents that prompted speculation [1] [5]; tabloids and culture sites highlighted his virginity confession and mocked the mismatch between his public misogyny and private dating status [6] [2].
4. The political and rhetorical context that makes this newsworthy
Coverage ties Fuentes’s personal disclosures to his public persona: because he promotes extreme, traditionalist and misogynistic ideas, journalists and commentators treat questions about his sexual life as relevant to understanding the performative contradictions in his politics — not merely gossip [3] [4].
5. What sources agree on — and what they do not
Multiple reports agree that Fuentes denied being gay, said he is attracted to women, and reiterated that he has not had sex publicly [1] [2] [4]. Available sources do not mention any publicly confirmed romantic relationships or a history of dating that contradicts his virgin/incel claims; outlets that compile biographical profiles say there are no confirmed partners or girlfriends [7] [8].
6. Limitations in the record and open questions
Public statements and viral incidents drive the narrative, but these are not the same as comprehensive evidence about Fuentes’s private life. Reporting relies on on-camera interview answers and online episodes; available sources do not mention corroborating evidence about his private relationships beyond Fuentes’s own statements and past stream incidents [3] [7].
7. Competing interpretations — motive and agenda
Some outlets treat the story as straightforward reporting of an interview; others use it to critique Fuentes’s ideology or to underscore perceived hypocrisy between his public calls for “traditional” sexual norms and his private admissions. Critics frame the coverage as exposing contradictions in his movement; sympathetic supporters might call such coverage invasive or politically motivated — those perspectives appear across commentary in the sources [3] [9].
8. What to watch next
If Fuentes or his circle releases new, verifiable information (photos, statements from partners, or on-record clarifications), outlets will update the record; until then, reporting will continue to rest on his denials, his self-description as an incel/virgin, and the past stream incident that prompted ongoing speculation [1] [2] [3].
Summary takeaway: Fuentes has publicly denied being gay and has publicly stated he is attracted to women while also admitting he has not had sex and identifying as an incel; speculation and interpretation persist because of past streaming incidents and the political implications of his statements [1] [2] [3].
