Jaden Smith has always been in the spotlight in one way or another, too, with famous friends along for the ride. During his time in the spotlight, the star has been romantically linked to a few famous folks, Tyler The Creator, included!
This is why fans are all up in Jaden Smith's business when it comes to determining what his relationship status is and who he's dated, sparking interest in his sexuality. Considering the mystery behind his love life, many fans have begun to wonder...is Jaden Smith gay? Let's dive in!
Updated on September 1, 2021, by Michael Chaar: Jaden Smith has been in the limelight since childhood. While his career has been filled with success on-screen, behind the booth, and on the runway, Jaden has always sparked interest when it comes to his love life. The star has been romantically linked to both Kylie Jenner, and Sofia Richie, however he's also openly admitted to being Tyler The Creator's "boyfriend". This has led fans to be rather confused over his sexuality, and while Jaden has never commented on whether he's gay or not, it's clear he's got quite the eclectic taste. Smith, who is currently single, is currently promoting his newest album, CTV3: Day Tripper's Edition.
Did Jaden Smith Date Tyler The Creator?
Most fans suspect that Jaden Smith is gay because of his comments about fellow rapper, friend, and collaborator Tyler The Creator, but the truth behind their relationship might be nothing more than a bromance that, while heartwarming, likely isn't romantic.
Jaden has made multiple public comments calling Tyler his "boyfriend," but fans point out that he also began making the claims ahead of the release of some new music. Some speculated that he was using Tyler to amp up his musical milestone, especially because one of the statements he made was that Tyler had been his boyfriend for his 'whole life.'
It's not that shocking for Jaden to be close to a male friend, though. He's also posted some thirst traps that led another of his close friends, Justin Bieber, to post some tongue emojis. What's a little flirting between friends, right? And as many a fan will point out, [straight] girls hype each other up all the time.
Does The Evidence Suggest That Jaden Smith Is Gay?
His androgynous style and skirt-wearing habits are just a few indicators that Jaden's fine with being himself, regardless of what people think. But as fans already know, clothing has literally zero to do with someone's orientation. So is there other evidence that suggests Jaden might be gay?
It's worth noting that Jaden Smith and Kylie Jenner once dated. Although that was years ago, it was well-documented and could be an indicator that Jaden isn't necessarily gay. Of course, his past dalliance with Kylie doesn't rule out any other orientation. Nor do his past relationships with other girls.
Because as fans pointed out, while Jaden joked he was dating Tyler, he also talked about his girlfriend in the same interviews. That further emphasizes the "joke," they say, although it was a bit disrespectful to his rumored girlfriend at the time to suggest he was dating someone else.
But as for the evidence pointing to Jaden being gay? It could really go either way, and fans speculate, so could the actor/rapper himself.
Who Has Jaden Smith Dated?
While we know Jaden and Kylie Jenner have been romantically linked in the past, many fans wonder who Smith has dated outside of the Kylie Cosmetics mogul. Well, turns out he has quite the dating history. In addition to Jenner, Jaden has been linked to Amandla Stenberg and Sofia Richie.
Although his relationships were kept under wraps, considering details regarding their romances are limited, it's clear that Jaden has quite the range when it comes to his romantic interests, and while it might be tough to pinpoint just who he's attracted to, fans aren't too phased by the mystery of it all.
