Love life and relationships
There were various rumors about Luna’s love life, and one of them was that she was dating Jacob Sartorius, an American singer and social media star, perhaps known best for his TikTok videos which have over 1.6 billion likes – his account is followed by almost 24 million fans. Luna and Jacob haven’t spoken about these assumptions, but Jacob started dating an actress Millie Bobby Brown, thus the rumors ended.
The new rumors began when Luna was seen at the “Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Awards” event with Ricky Garcia, an American actor and singer, perhaps known best for his role as Monks in the movie “Finding ‘Ohana”. However, neither Luna nor Ricky spoke about any relationship, and Ricky was spotted with model Beatrice Vendramin after a while, so it’s assumed that Luna and Ricky are just close friends.
Another rumor about Luna was that she might be a lesbian, since she has some photos on her Instagram featuring her and a certain girl whose name she hasn’t revealed, together on the trip to Paris, France. In the pictures they seem very close to each other, however, Luna hasn’t spoken about her sexual orientation and her relationship with this girl, only once stating: ‘love has no labels – period’.
