Frenchie has kissed Hughie (Jack Quaid) and expressed interest in kissing transgender strippers at MM's (Laz Alonso) bachelor party in 'The Boys'.
There are hints from an earlier season that Frenchie was in a throuple with his best friends, Cherie (Jordana Lajoie) and the late Jay (Michael Ayres), in 'The Boys'.
Now, in Season 4 of 'The Boys', Frenchie is openly dating a man who works at the Starlight House. Initially unsure about pursuing a relationship with Colin, Frenchie gets encouragement from Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara), who wants him to be happy. She assures him not to let their friendship stand in the way.
In Season 3, Kimiko describes her and Frenchie's kiss as "weird," which he agrees with, emphasizing they are more like family. They agree their bond won't turn romantic.
This statement confirms that Frenchie is bisexual, and not gay.
