Is Lewis Capaldi Gay? He Has Been Spotted Kissing Men and Women Though Has Not Confirmed His Sexual Orientation

Despite currently dating a woman, Lewis Capaldi has left fans wondering if he is gay after sharing a kiss with a few famous men. While the singer is yet to set the record straight about his sexuality, he did open up about having a "sexual awakening."

Lewis Capaldi has made a name for himself as a talented singer following the release of his chart-topping songs "Someone You Loved" and "Before You Go." And fans have since been interested in his love life.

While Lewis Capaldi has only been romantically linked to two women — "Love Island" winner Paige Turley and his current partner — the singer fuelled speculation about whether he is gay after publicly kissing multiple men.

Lewis Capaldi Has Publicly Kissed Multiple Men, Including Harry Styles

In 2020, Capaldi was spotted sharing a kiss with rising UK artist Yungblud at the pre-Grammy Lucky Brand party in Los Angeles. During a night of partying, other party-goers said the former flatmates were "getting on like a house on fire" and "started snogging in the middle of the party." The party-goer further added:

"It was all very light-hearted, but they really put on a show. Neither of them is afraid of being the center of attention, so they thought it was hilarious."

Unlike Capaldi, Yungblud has spoken about his sexual fluidity and revealed that while he's straight, it's also all about connection. "I'm very fluid about it," Yungblud said.

In February 2022, English author and filmmaker Oobah Butler took to Instagram to share two pictures of him and Capaldi, and in the first slide, Butler and the singer are kissing. That same year, Capaldi kissed singer and songwriter Niall Horan.

Both singers were in attendance at the World Darts Championship when Capaldi found Horan in the crowd, and the cameras caught them kissing. More recently, Harry Styles and Capaldi shared a brief off-stage kiss after the former One Direction member won four BRIT Awards at the 2023 ceremony in February.

BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James documented the moments leading up to the kiss as Styles walked off stage after winning Song of the Year and pointed at Capaldi. Capaldi then points back, grabs Styles' face, and kisses his lips.

Lewis Capaldi Opened Up about Having a 'Sexual Awakening'

In 2022, Capaldi appeared on "Absolute Radio" and took a trip down memory lane when he recalled having a "sexual awakening" after watching "the bevy of beauties" Lil' Kim, Mya, Pink, and Christina Aguilera in the music video "Lady Marmalade" for "Moulin Rouge." He shared:

"I can't remember about a teenage crush, but I definitely remember my sexual awakening, which was, remember the 'Moulin Rouge' video?"

Lewis Capaldi Recently Confirmed His Relationship with His Current Partner

Despite sharing a kiss or two with a few fellow famous Brits, Capaldi confirmed he is no longer a single man after making his debut with his new girlfriend, Ellie MacDowell.

The couple attended the star-studded BRITs after-party together — where they were seen packing on the PDA — and was spotted out and about on other occasions. "He has been dating Ellie for some time now, and while they are usually very low-key, he couldn't keep his hands off her at the after-party," a source said.
