Troye Sivan is a South African-born Australian singer, actor, and YouTuber. As a singer, he has released several EPs and studio albums such as TRXYE, Wild, Blue Neighbourhood, Bloom, and In a Dream.
He has also gained an equal amount of fame through his acting endeavors. He made his acting debut in 2009 in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine and has since appeared in Betrand the Terrible, Spud film series, and Boy Erased.
Sivan will soon be seen as Caleb in the upcoming movie Three Months — releasing on February 23, 2022. This is his first big film role in his acting career. Additionally, he is currently filming his debut television show, The Idol.
The singer’s professional life is highly talked about by his fans, and so is his personal life. Here is a look at his personal life, including his sexuality, relationship status, and more!
Troye Sivan is openly gay
Troye Sivan has been open about his sexual orientation since the start. At the age of five, he felt scared because he knew something was different about him. Then, at 14, he had his first crush on a boy.

One year later, at 15, he first came out of the closet to his best friend, Kayla. Around the same time, he also told his family about his sexual orientation. And as he “didn’t grow up in a homophobic household at all,” his family happily accepted that news.
Three years later, on August 7, 2013, the now-renowned actor and singer came out publicly as gay via a YouTube video. In that video, he said, “It feels kind of weird to have to announce it like this on the internet….”
“This is not something that I am ashamed of and it is not something that anyone should have to be ashamed of. So why not share it with all of you guys? I am terrified. I know that some people could have a problem with this,” he added.
Since then, he has been very vocal about the LGBTIQ+ community. Besides, many younger people — who have/had struggled with coming out — have viewed Sivan as a role model.
Troye Sivan was in a relationship with Jacob Bixenman
Sivan was previously in a long-term relationship with Jacob Bixenman, an American model and photographer.
The former love birds met each other during a fashion show in early 2016. They hung out for a couple of days and eventually began dating on February 11, 2016. Speaking of how his relationship started with Bixenman, he told Attitude UK:
“It was gradual, but, just as far as labels go, it’s pretty much since the day that I met him. We have seen each other almost every day unless I’ve been travelling or something.”

As he went on, he talked about what attracted him to Bixenman besides his looks. He mentioned, “I don’t know, I mean, I think he’s got like a kind of energy about him, a magnetic sort of energy. I think people can’t help but love him. He’s just got one of those personalities that draws people in.”
The couple had initially kept their togetherness a secret and only revealed it in August 2016. Following a brief period of being together, Sivan moved in with his boyfriend in Los Angeles.
The duo seemed inseparable as they often flaunted several pictures alongside each other via their respective Instagram handles. However, in January 2019, there were rumors that they had parted ways.
The talks initiated after Sivan posted a picture with singer-songwriter Lauv on Instagram, where he referred to Lauv as “my new boyfriend.” But, those breakup rumors were shut down once Sivan shared a picture with Bixenman on their third dating anniversary.
Less than one year later, in early 2020, those split speculations emerged once again. This time, the gossip appeared as the fans noticed Bixenman’s absence on Sivan’s social media handles and vice-versa since late 2019.
The rumors of Sivan and Bixenman’s breakup were confirmed when both of them failed to wish each other on their fourth dating anniversary, a tradition that they had been doing for years.
Then, it was reported that Sivan had left Los Angeles to be with his family members in Perth, Australia, during the pandemic — Bixenman was still in Los Angeles. As of this writing, an official confirmation of their split is yet to come, though their split seems evident.
Furthermore, it reported that Sivan’s 2020 EP, In a Dream, addresses his breakup with Bixenman. As per PinkNews, during one of his interviews, he had to say this about the EP:
“A story that’s still unfolding, this small collection of songs explores an emotional rollercoaster period in my life when the feelings and thoughts were most shockingly fresh. Revisiting these songs and moments is tough, but I’m proud of this music and excited to have it out in the world.”
Is Troye Sivan dating anyone now?
Since his split with ex-boyfriend Bixenman, there have been no reports of the singer dating anybody.

Sivan has been keeping his personal life matters upto himself only in recent times. He hasn’t given out any hints on his present relationship status through his social media handles too.
To sum up, his present relationship status remains unknown. And until something comes out, it’s best to say that he is currently single and doesn’t have a boyfriend.
Before he was dating Bixenman, it was reported that he was in a relationship with Connor Franta. They began dating in 2014 and parted ways in 2016.
While speaking with Attitude UK, he mentioned that his song ‘The Good Side’ was about his relationship and breakup before he was together with Bixenman. So, it’s guessed that it was about Franta.
