'The Boys' has consistently portrayed Frenchie as open about his sexuality. Throughout the series, the versatile vigilante has shown interest in people from diverse backgrounds.

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.

Fans took to X to express their shock, and frustration with one saying, "So they made Frenchie gay……………………………………………………………………………" Another fan wrote, "I thought him and kimoko had something going." 



 



 

Another angry fan wrote, "Yeah not sure why. He was dancing in love with the super chick series 1-3. Don't get it. Plus all the Tom Hanks Oprah Winfrey comments trying and fictionalize the real life rumours. Showrunner is compromised. Boys gone woke :( More woke."



 

One fan said, "Bi but yeah... i was waiting for something like in the comics with Kimiko and they had to f**k it up." Another wrote, "I don’t really mind him being gay I just hope that it doesn’t take away from his relationship with kimiko, last season they got so close and now he’s gay or bi or whatever so idk."
