Born on September 29, 1994 as Nicholas Dimitri Constantine Galitzine, this 28-year-old actor made his acting debut in the 2014 film, “The Beat Beneath My Feet”, wherein he sang several songs for the movie’s original soundtrack. A year later, he made his small-screen debut when he appeared as a guest in an episode of the TV series “Legends”.
Galitzine had shown a lot of potentials even from the start of his acting career. He was, in fact, branded as “Star of Tomorrow” by Screen International. But building a celebrity out of himself also exposed him to the public’s watchful eyes. Fans started to get curious about his personal life, specifically about his sexuality. They start to seek an answer to that one question — is Nicholas Galitzine gay?

Nicholas Galitzine’s Gay Rumors: How It Started
The Purple Hearts actor has played several queer roles and this was a huge factor why fans have started to question his sexual orientation.
In the 2016 award-winning Irish comedy-drama film, “Handsome Devil”, Galitzine played Conor Masters, a closeted gay student who is also the school’s star rugby player.
In 2020, the actor was again cast in a queer role for the American supernatural horror film, “The Craft: Legacy”, also known as “Blumhouse’s The Craft: Legacy”. Galitzine played the role of a bisexual teenager named Timmy Andrews.
The actor was also a part of the queer comedy film, “Bottoms,” which was released last March 11, 2023.
Galitzine was also set to star in an upcoming film, “Red, White & Royal Blue”, which is a movie adaptation of the LGBT romance novel of the same title, written by Casey McQuiston. The actor would be playing the role of the British Prince, Prince Henry, who was romantically involved with the character of Alex Claremont-Diaz, the ‘First Son’ of the United States.
Although aware of the gay rumors that had been thrown his way since he started acting, Galitzine remained tight-lipped about the issue. He never directly addressed these rumors nor clarified what his sexual orientation is. Some fans assumed that, since he always gets to play queer roles, he chose not to put labels on his sexuality so as to not miss future opportunities.

Nicholas Galitzine’s Girlfriend: Is He Dating Anyone?
Galitzine had remained tight-lipped about his personal life, especially his dating life. The actor has never publicly dated anyone and was never linked to any possible real-life love interest. It’s either he was staying away from the dating scene or was just really good at keeping his relationships under wraps.
Okay, maybe he was linked to someone once when he was rumored to have something going on with his Chambers co-star Lilli Kay. However, the dating rumor was neither confirmed nor denied. And there was no further evidence to back it up.
However, the actor once shared that he got into acting because of his interest in a certain girl he tried to pursue at one point.
There was a girl who was going up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival who I really fancied. I did [the festival] so I could go chase this girl. And I came back with this acting agency.”

That’s the most information we can get about his dating life — if you can even consider that as one.
Is Nicholas Galitzine Gay?
Nicholas Galitzine prefers not to talk about his sexuality nor label himself with anything. Although a huge part of his fanbase was convinced he was gay, probably because of all the queer roles he had — which he really pulled off, by the way — there was really no proof about those rumors. The actor lacks a dating history on which to base these speculations either. Thus, at this point, Nicholas Galitzine’s sexuality remains something left to uncover.
