Is On-Screen Gay Brad William Henke Still With His Wife Or Did They Split Amid Of Sexuality Rumors?
When a public figure maintains huge privacy in their personal life, various rumors related to their life off-screen starts to swirl. They are often assumed to be gay when there is no evidence about their love life.
Unlike them, the former American National Football League player, who now appears in “Orange Is The New Black,” is assumed to be gay just because of his gay character. However, Henke is said to be a married man. Let’s find out how true it is and know if he is still together with his wife.
Henke Is Straight By Sexuality:
Henke, who is misunderstood as gay due to the portrayal of openly gay C.O. Desi Piscatella on Orange is the New Black, has talked about his sexuality in an interview with Out magazine in 2016.
He reveals that he is straight by sexuality, and talking about his personal experience on the basis of the character, he said-
“Just from having friends in the gay community, I know their frustrations with how they are represented. It felt like like, "Hey, I better f****** do this right." And it’s funny because on Instagram people have written, “Thank you for playing a real person who is also gay.” That is my [character’s] sexuality. But I am a flawed person as Piscatella. And I’m also a good person as Piscatella. I’m everything, you know? And I think that sometimes doesn’t make it onto TV.”
The character Piscatella is very close to Henke’s heart, as it has given him a new identity and has helped him to mark his place in the industry as a talented actor.
You might not know that Henke has shared a picture of Piscatella on Instagram in June 2016, where he has revealed how honored he was to play the character.

According to PEOPLE, Henke and his wife were ready to adopt a fourteen-year-old foster child. Talking about the adoption, Henke said-
"We got a dog named Puggles and that made us more of a family. Then we decided to get a house! And now we’re adopting a 14-year-old foster child."

After her split with Brad, Katelin was involved with another guy. If you follow Katelin on her official Instagram account, you will see many pictures of her with a guy named Darrell Thomas, and they don't seem to be “just good friends.”

After the split from his ex-wife Katelin, Brad was active in the dating scene. He was going out with Simone Toliver after his divorce with Katelin.
Even after reaching a stage in their relationship where Simone became Brad's fiancée, however, their relationship came to an end in June 2017.

The reason for their split was Brad's anger issues and his verbally abusive outbursts. Brad was abusive in the relationship and mistreated Simone during their time together. She even reportedly claimed Henke emailed her with "emotionally abusive messages" up to 30 times a day.
Brad's violent and creepy mannerisms were further proven to be true when Simone received a restraining order against Brad in May of 2018 after he allegedly threatened to hurt her. But the restraining order was dismissed as Simone failed to appear in the court for the hearing to make the order permanent.
