Jeffree also shared numerous photos of him and his alleged beau on his Instagram stories without mentioning the name of his boyfriend. Later, it was identified that the mystery man's name is Andre Marhold who is a basketball player who previously played at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
Nathan Schwandt
The announcement of his new relationship came less than a year after he broke up with his longtime boyfriend Nathan Schwandt. Star even confirmed the news through a YouTube video explaining the split that happened because they wanted to go into 2020 "focusing on our own selves." "We're gonna start things off fresh. I'm starting this year off alone and I can't even believe I'm saying that. I'm so devastated but I'm strong and you guys know that me and Nate had been through so much together. And there's no crazy gossip, there's no tea, this is actually really important and I don't think that enough celebrities, influencers, people with a platform, talk about, and that's mental health," he said in the video.
Tyler Carter
According to Who Is Dating Who, in 2015, Jeffree was linked to lead vocalist of the American boy band ‘Issues’, Tyler Carter. Although not much is known about their relationship, many reports suggest that it was just a fling. Carter has previously released two EPs, 'Leave Your Love' (2015) and 'Moonshine Acoustic' (2020), and one studio album, 'Moonshine' (2019). He has also collaborated with some big names like blackbear, MAX, Jamie's Elsewhere, Breathe Carolina, Hands Like Houses, Slaves, and ONE OK ROCK among others. Carter has also worked with longtime collaborator Tyler Acord. He is currently engaged to fiancé Trent Morey Leffler.
Chris Crocker
According to Social Book, Star also dated Christopher Darren Cunningham better known as Chris Crocker from 2005 to 2009. Crocker gained fame in September 2007 from his viral video 'Leave Britney Alone!', in which he tearfully defended pop singer Britney Spears' comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. His video received over four million views in two days. The reason for their split is still not known.
Earlier this year, Jeffree came into limelight after using racial slurs in past social media posts and for his involvement in a feud between Tati Westbrook and James Charles. He later apologized for that act.
