Is he gay, who is the boyfriend or husband?
The sexual orientation of the Tampa Native American is an open one, as he admitted in an interview to being gay, which silences all speculation about the actor’s sexuality. He is not yet married but currently has a man in his life.
The sleek American actor was previously in a romantic relationship with a dynamic television personality and stylist named Kylan Douglas, but they split in December of the same year they met. Since they looked so adorable as a couple, many wondered what actually prompted their split. However, the duo are still very close friends regardless of their split.
If all of his social media posts are something he’s interested in, then the Queer As Folk star has quietly gotten back to the dating scene with his new gay lover, identified simply as Davis, whose Twitter handle is @GuyFDavis. They met in April 2017 and have become practically inseparable after a coffee date while performing at various events together. Guy Davis, who is three inches taller than Robert Gant’s 6ft 1in, even planned Gant’s 50th birthday in July 2018. If the love between the two lovebirds is as strong as it looks on the outside, then maybe we can hear the wedding bells anytime soon.
