Is Luke Evans Single? Why Yes, Yes He Is

You've probably been daydreaming about Luke Evans ever since you saw his shirtless scenes in The Girl on the Train last year, and we're guessing things have only gotten more intense since he's now Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. With the English star's new surge of fame comes the inevitable curiosity about his romantic life, and we are here to deliver a good piece of news: he's currently single.

The openly gay actor, who shies away from talking about his personal life but opened up about his sexuality in a 2002 interview with The Advocate, was previously in a relationship with Spanish model Jon Kortajarena from 2014 until 2016. After the two split, Luke confirmed that he's happy being single in an interview with Mr. Porter magazine, saying, "[I'm treating it as an opportunity for] finding contentment with myself, and not relying on anybody else to validate it. I think being an only child has hindered that slightly, because I've always wanted to be around other people." We're sure he has men (and a few determined women) lined up around the block.
