Tyler, the Creator

His most recent confirmed relationship was with Tyler, the Creator, a social media sensation who is now a well-known musician. The year 2018 saw Jaden pause in the middle of his Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival performance to declare his love for Tyler. The man claimed to be his boyfriend.

Early in 2017, Jaden began dating Odessa Adlon, an actress and Pamela Adlon's oldest daughter. Around five years ago, in 2017, Odessa and Jaden first spoke. They allegedly dated for a brief period before Jaden decided to part ways with her as reported by Ranker.

Sarah Snyder

Jaden and Sarah Snyder's very public relationship made an array of headlines. After two years of dating, Jaden and Snyder officially ended their relationship in 2017. In 2015, Smith and Snyder first made their relationship known to the public. The pair became well-known on social media for their coordinated looks and open display of affection, according to CheatSheet. In September 2015, Snyder attended New York Fashion Week alongside Jaden, and the two were said to have cuddled and kissed while watching the Gypsy Sport show from the front row.

As you can see, Jaden has a vivid history of dating women and man. However, it would be foolish to assume that Jaden is gay at this time without any confirmation from him. Jaden is the only one who can confirm or deny whether he is gay, so we are unable to speculate about his sexual orientation.
