He was 18 when he had his first 'real' boyfriend, and before that, he said 'there was a guy who wasn't my boyfriend, but we met in middle school and we talked, after we both found out that each other were gay.' 'I was like, 'Oh, my God, he's really cute,' and thought that about a lot of other boys my age.' He said he knew he was gay when he 'had feelings' for his 'sister's cousin' (who isn't related to him biologically, due to their different fathers). The 'Sun Goes Down' artist also opened up about discovering his sexuality at a young age. 'It's so much more of a journey when there's more to it than just making catchy songs, you know?' 'Having that release helped me so much creatively - I probably wouldn't even be here right now, talking about the things I'm talking about and being that voice for so many people,' he added, with new single 'Industry Baby' already a fan-favorite.
