Love life and relationships
Austin prefers to keep the details of his love life to himself, and hasn’t mentioned any women (or men) whom he’s perhaps been with. This is probably why there are today various rumors circulating the internet, most of which concern Austin’s sexual orientation.
Many of his fans believe him to be gay, claiming this to be why he hasn’t spoken of the women whom he’s dated; a fan has also claimed to have seen Austin kissing his boyfriend at a nightclub in Los Angeles, but no evidence’s been provided to support these claims, nor has Austin addressed the rumors.
