Former WWE star Maven has addressed ongoing internet speculation about his sexuality in a candid video posted to his YouTube channel, directly responding to assumptions that have circulated online.
“Most people just assume—and I don’t know why—that I am [gay],” Maven said. “I guess, you know, like Jerry Seinfeld said, ‘I’m clean, I’m neat, and I take care of myself.’ I guess that makes me gay. I am not. I have 48 years of unblemished heterosexuality.”
While clarifying that he isn’t bothered by the rumors, Maven made it clear he has no judgment toward others:
“If you’re gay, that’s fine. I don’t judge people, never have, never will. The fact that people judge me, does it bother me? Not really. If you think I’m gay and that makes you happy, keep thinking it. I could care less.”
He also opened up about his personal life, revealing that although he’s never been married, he has been in a long-term relationship:
“Not married, never been married, more than likely never will be married. I’ve been with the same girl for 13 years. So, are we married? No, technically on paper by law, we are not. But, I mean, after 13 years… common law marriage is seven, we’ve been together 13, so we’re almost at double common law.”
Maven wrapped up the topic with a bit of humor:
“I’m not married, but I’m settled down. Sorry ladies and gay men.”
The former Tough Enough winner and WWE standout continues to stay active online, engaging fans with stories from his wrestling days and personal insights like this one.
