Tyler Posey is opening up about his sexuality once again after coming out last year. In an interview with NME, the actor discussed what the response was like to his original announcement, as well as his current relationship status.

During a live Q&A on his OnlyFans back in October 2020, Tyler revealed he has been with both men and women. After, though, the 29-year-old told NME he was accused of "gay-baiting," comments which Tyler finds "really cruel" and says aren't true. "I’ve been with everybody under the sun," he explained.

Right now, Tyler is dating fellow musician Phem. "I’m in the best relationship that I’ve ever been in with a woman, and she’s queer too," he said. "She’s helped me realize that I fit under the queer umbrella and that I’m sexually fluid, I guess." He then corrected himself. "No, not 'I guess'. I don’t want anyone to take this [interview] and be like: 'Well, he was kind of wishy-washy about it.'"

Tyler and Phem released a duet together in March, titled "Shut Up," which also features Travis Barker on guitar. The pair have stayed pretty low key on social media, though Tyler did post a photo of their hands to Instagram on Valentine’s Day.

Back in March, Tyler revealed to Variety that coming out on OnlyFans was a "split-second decision." He said that, the day after, there were headlines that said he's pansexual, a term he never used. "The kids, the fans, or whoever wrote those articles labeled that."

After, though, Tyler said he got a lot of good feedback. "My dad called me after all this came out—I never told him anything about this stuff—he called me saying, 'Hey, buddy. Just making sure you’re OK. I don’t want you to get overwhelmed or stressed out.' He was totally cool about it," he said. Now, Tyler hopes his experience will help others in a similar boat.
