Is Froy Gutierrez Gay? The Actor Was Linked to Richard Madden and Was Spotted Kissing Zane Phillips

Froy Gutierrez's love life and sexuality have been a subject of interest and dating rumors, including links to Richard Madden, and he was recently spotted sharing an intimate moment with Zane Phillips.

Texas native Froy Gutierrez drew his first breath on April 27, 1998, born to an American mother and a Mexican father. He became interested in acting while in school and eventually joined the Dallas Children's Theater.

There, his talents caught the right people's attention, and so began his onscreen career. Gutierrez debuted as Charlie Huggins on the Nickelodeon comedy series "Bella and the Bulldogs" in 2015.

He took more brief parts in "The Goldbergs" and "One Day at a Time," before booking his first film, "A Cowgirl's Story," in 2017. That year, he also starred in the last season of "Teen Wolf," opposite Tyler Posey and Dylan O'Brien.

Fans may recognize him from the award-winning mystery series "Cruel Summer," opposite Olivia Holt and Harley Quinn Smith. He starred alongside Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in 2022's "Hocus Pocus 2."

Gutierrez is also a musician, who released his debut single, "Fix Me," in 2019. And as he becomes a familiar face onscreen, the 25-year-old's love life and sexuality continue to pique fans' interest.

Froy Gutierrez Was Spotted Kissing Zane Phillips

Although Gutierrez has not been explicit about being gay or his sexuality, he was recently spotted with Zane Phillips, best known for "Fire Island" and "Glamorous." The actors, who seem to be dating, attended the Pride Celebration event at GITANO Island in New York in June 2023.

They were seen kissing and embracing each other while rocking sheer and loose summer outfits. The occasion aimed to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community through a day filled with excitement and enjoyment, and artist Madison Rose entertained all the guests with her music.

Gutierrez and Phillips were also seen talking to celebrities such as stylist Kyle Krieger and actor Johnny Sibbilly, and a news platform posted about their encounter on Twitter.

However, this wasn't the first time they were seen together. A month earlier, they attended the premiere of Netflix's "Glamorous." Gutierrez wanted to support his boyfriend, who played Chad in the series led by Miss Benny and Kim Cattrall.

Fans may also recognize Phillips, born on November 25, 1993, in Denver, Colorado, from "Legacies," where he played the character of Ben in 11 episodes. The actor interpreted Hunter Reed in Netflix's "Partner Track," but "Glamorous" is his most significant role.

Aside from supporting his new boyfriend, Gutierrez just finished his next project, the third sequel to "The Strangers." Sadly, there's still no information about a release date.

Froy Gutierrez Sparked Dating Rumors with 'Game of Thrones' Star Richard Madden

In May 2020, news broke that Gutierrez was co-habiting with Hollywood star Richard Madden in Emilia Clarke's two-bedroom luxury pad in Los Angeles. The actress acquired the property in 2016 and began renting it out in 2018 after moving back to London.

Gutierrez and Madden had been seen spending time together a few times before then and are believed to be good friends. In April 2021, paparazzi spotted them walking through Hampstead Heath in London on their way to enjoy a picnic.

The two also enjoyed a vacation in January 2022 and hung out in Italy during the Giffoni Film Festival in July of that year. Before living with Gutierrez, Madden co-habited with "13 Reasons Why" star Brandon Flynn.

Madden and Flynn also shared a place in Los Angeles, but their relationship reportedly ended sourly. When asked about the falling out or the nature of their relationship (after it was implied it was romantic), he answered:

"I just keep my personal life personal. I've never talked about my relationships."

Is Froy Gutierrez Gay? The Actor Never Openly Spoke about His Sexuality

Much like Madden, Gutierrez has guarded his privacy. Although he is active on social media, his pages reveal little about his personal life. Still, fans have continued speculating about his dating history and sexual identity.

Froy Gutierrez Often Plays Cruel Macho Boys, Though He Feels Very Removed from His Roles

Gutierrez grew up surrounded by the kind of characters he often plays; as he once recalled, "Growing up, I was surrounded by these very macho boys that would bully me. I was afraid of them, so as an actor, I know what that looks like."

His experiences being attacked by those bullies helped him portray violent young men in "Hocus Pocus 2" and "Cruel Summer." However, they couldn't be more different from the kind person he imagined himself to be.

Despite being cast in such roles, he noted, "I see myself as a very geeky, awkward, shy person." Gutierrez added that overcompensating to put out "this very masculine idea" of himself is something he never felt the need to do.
